I have chosen to refactor the inventory system in-game. I am switching from references to structs. This is to prepare for future features and make the system more modular for development. This is a massive overhaul of the games core blueprints and will take a significant amount of time to program.

 A Third-Person Perspective System replaces the original top-down view, shifting gameplay to an over-the-shoulder camera for a more immersive, character-focused experience. Controls, camera behavior, and interactions are redesigned to suit the new viewpoint.

 An Alignment System tracks a player’s moral and ethical choices, shaping relationships, story outcomes, and available quests. It ties into dialogue, faction reputation, and world reactions, ensuring decisions have lasting consequences that reinforce role-playing depth.

The combat system will receive a visual overhaul. Instead of simply swinging the sword. I will add screen shake to larger attacks to make them feel more impactful. I will also be adding a small window where the entity being hit will change color and flash as well.
