Your usage of "play sound" seems to be correct, so I am guessing that the whole "if" statement is being rapidly re-evaluated over and over again in a loop. Maybe something like this would work? if (pposx == npc x(1) ,and, pposy==npc y(1)&am...

If posting stuff helps motivate you to work on it more, then posting now is definitely a good idea... but if posting stuff distracts you from working on it, then posting now is probably a bad idea.

Noticed, downloaded, testing it out. On a side note, Vikings isn't ready. Should I add a brief (comical) interlude beforehand explaining the game is a demo, and MANY things are as yet undone? If you prefer, sure, that would be cool. Or alternatively I could just take the last released version (was ...

Definitely try to make something passable. When you are finished, you can fix it up and make it more passable. And when you finish that, you can work on making it kinda nifty, and then focus on making it quite nifty. Then progress to awesome. By focusing first on finishing simple, and then refining ...
