Are the skeletons in this game meant to be sapient (that is, do they actually have an agenda rather than just being mindless like in most games)? Was wondering given the evil rituals thing.
No, they aren't. For me, it wouldn't make sense if brainless skeletons had an agenda that goes being taking revenge on the living ^^. This actually made it tricky for me to come up with good idle behaviours for the skeletons. Like what do they do when you encounter them. Standing and walking around, feels a bit boring doesn't it? So far I implemented that they sometimes are lying on the ground and awake from the dead, but I can't think of much more that would make sense, apart from that ritual maybe or making them awake from a coffin or a chair.
However, the other races (goblins and humans) are a bit more complex, but in general, the game isn't too complex in regards to lore. I mean I like writing and would enjoy that, but Raidborn's focus is on gameplay, and at the end of the day it's an action RPG and not so much an RPG if you get what I mean. It's also a matter of resources in the end.
