Day Six
Today I've added a notification system to the game. Currently notifications only appear when
- A Quest is Bestowed
- A Quest is Completed
- Quest rewards are given to the player
I plan to add more if and when required in order to notify the player of events happening they may not be able to see at the time they happen.
Later on during today I started work on some of the GUI elements such as a fish counter and basic player stats:
The fish counter tells you how much fish the penguin you are controlling has. This is important as fish will eventually regenerate your energy.
Energy will deplete at a constant rate, but will decrease more when moving, and even more when swimming. Eating fish will restore energy however the exact values are still TBD.
Warmth will not deplete until your energy is < 50% or you enter the pool. The only way to restore warmth is to return to your hatching box. When protecting the egg, the penguin remains in the hatching box and therefore will never lose warmth, but can lose energy.
