for the game today i added in another side quest and created a character graphic i had forgotten about. next i'll be creating the characters that are available in the side quest and giving them their dialogue and stuff. one of these characters is actually one you can recruit to your party, so i'll be adding that capability as well.
there are 4 total members you can recruit to your party and since you always have the two main characters you can recruit up to two of them at a time. as of this very moment, it is actually only possible to recruit one of them without dev tools so i do need to get on that.
