PACE 1.0 -dev7 Test (Full w/Commentary)
Added 2021-03-31 16:20:51 +0000 UTCThis week I got a lot done towards filling out PACE for a (hopefully soon) Nexus 1.0 release. All vanilla base game companions are now supported, including Codworth and Curie (in a new "bot mode"), and a new "Get The Hell Over Here" hotkey allows you to directly summon companions to your position if you've lost track of them.
Moving forward, I plan for these videos to be less "feature showcase" and more "let's do real testing and talk about where we're at". So expect more rough edges as we step through the actual process I go through in mod testing.
Current -dev7 code is available for patrons only on the Greslin Games Discord.
