The last four skill trees – ‘Rule’, ‘Leadership’, ‘Trade’ and a fourth I haven’t yet settled on. Once the remaining trees have been done, I’ll then be moving onto programming each of the appropriate skills in (though naturally it will be mostly the combat skills that made it into 0.2.0), and adding a little key in-game that tells you both what each letter on a given tree means, and tells you what each specific unlock does. Additionally, I’ve changed the unlocked graphics a little:

I think this variant’s much better in that a) it’s even clearer what is/isn’t unlocked, and b) I think it’s rather more aesthetically pleasing. You will still be told what each skill is when you select it, and I don’t think the loss of the letter is going to make anyone forget about skills they’re already unlocked.

Also, as of today, blog entries are back to weekly!
