STAS Infinite - Alpha V0.0.1 Release

This is the first early alpha release of STAS Infinite, I will occassionally post updates and development notes here to keep people up to date on progress, bug fixes and other features going on with the development progress. I will also post updates on my Twitter (@JohnTheScout) and also show off current progress during my Twitch streams (IstalriSkolir).

Currently, the game consists only of combat encounters with a few different NPCs on loop. The end aim of the project is to create a procedural text adventure that will reset and create a new world and adventure whenever the player dies or achieves their quests aim. The idea being it will randomly generating worlds and quests based on lists of examples stored in files which can be updated wihout closing the application to allow a ongoing streaming experience. At least, thats the idea.

In the current version the stream chat will loop through fights of a few different NPCs, whilst the streamer themselves can monitor this and change settings within the console itself. Currently, the console displays the debug logs for the Twitch connection, the game environment, the current vote statistics and input for the streamer to change the game settings. There is a txt in the game folder which lists all the console commands and their uses. This has limited functionality at the moment, but will be expanded up on in later versions of the game.

In future devlogs, I will go into more detail about how the mechancis of the game works, the challenges and other aspects of the development process and future plans of the project. I am also open to peoples ideas and welcome any thoughts or comments on the game so feel free to leave comments, tweet me or chat to me during my live streams.
