Ghost In a Bottle have given us a look at the various NPCs within Octopus City Blues as they live out their lives. The game was successfully funded on Kickstarter back in September of last year, and the team has been hard at work developing the game.
Featured above, you’ll watch as Kaf navigates around the city, although the true goal in the video is to follow The Professor, and observe how he behaves. NPCs within Octopus City Blues will all have their own schedules where they go from map to map, and they all have varying dialogue that will be contextual and change as you progress through the story. The system itself is fully automated and scalable to multiple NPCs.
A public demo for Octopus City Blues will be coming in the next update to their Kickstarter, as the team has finalized the necessary scenes and music, but they still have to touch up some sprites, systems, and menus. The date for their next update is TBD, but we’ll keep you guys posted.
