Okay, so the first Stamp has been created! It's not exactly the most exciting stamp in the world, but it will probably be the most used. It's the "speaking" Stamp. Yes, you need a Stamp to be able to speak, you're an animal so it doesn't come naturally to you!
Anyway, this video gives a basic idea of how speaking will work in the game. I set up the conversation system so that I can make cutscenes with it (without having to revamp the whole thing later on).
It's also a good example of how the Stamps will be placed around the circle. An explanation of the system follows the video.
Pressing S will pause the screen and bring up the Paws menu ring and the Stamps available in the given context (so sometimes there'll be an option to talk to one of two people, or give a yes or no answer, or open a door, or there might just be a series of attacks). There will be a maximum of 8 Stamps available to select at any one point in time, and you select one by pressing the key next to S (so to choose the top Stamp, press W).
Tomorrow I have a great surprise for everyone (it may involve a dance party), should be awesome (if it works).
