11-09-20: Unique NPCs

Hey, all! Today we're talking about our Unique NPCs!

As you may remember from previous devblogs, we have 3 classes of NPCs in this game: Filler, Unique, and Dateable. We've finished putting all of the Filler content into the game as of the last build, and are moving into Unique NPCs.

Unique NPCs are characters that the player will be able to build relationships with. Unlike Fillers, they have a relationship stat that builds as the player interacts with them over time. They have more than twice the portrait expressions as Fillers, and their sprites may include some special poses and animations. Additionally, most Unique NPCs will have multiple outfits!

While the Unique NPCs are cooking (there's a lot of them and new systems will need to be implemented for them) we'll be killing bugs and tidying up the UX in the next build, so look forward to that!
