NPC Drink-o-meter

NPC Drink-o-meter is a new, planned mechanic that Epicosity adds that is centered around town NPCs. At certain thresholds of the meter, NPCs often sell special items, have special dialogue, or reduce their prices.

The price modifier is calculated with the following formula: 1.0 - NPC drink-o-meter value * 0.15 An NPC's drink-o-meter value can be increased by offering them the correct VA-11 HALL-A drinks based on their dialogue. Upon the creation of a world, an NPC has a randomized preferred drink that often reflects their own character. For example, the Party Girl would favor a Sugar Rush or a Sparkle Star, and the Pirate would favor Rum.
