Mystic Character Development

-

 The mystic character is a ‘door keeper’ character that can be found located at specific exit points to new levels of the game. This is the character the player needs to pay to be released from the Lunarium world and is encountered once the player has made specific choices in the game. Currently this character is located in the blue and red mystic tents. 

The character will always be seated and will not require mouth animation as text is delivered as titles within the scene.
