| Summary | 0029739: "You work for a company now" contemplation shouldn't appear until chapter 2 | ||||
| Description | This contemplation can't be completed until chapter 2, so why does it appear in chapter 1? It's annoying, because it means that there's always one contemplation that the player can't clear - which means the contemplation lens is always lit up, and there's no way to tell when a NEW contemplation becomes available, without checking the lens manually every turn. | ||||

It's there to signpost to players of the demo. I never really thought about the player trying to clear all of the contemplations entirely. That's not the goal of the contemplation system, really. Throughout chapter two, it's always going to be lit up, forever, with things you are not doing right now. So if there needs to be a way of seeing "there are new contemplations," then in general that is a separate issue. Though for most purposes I am intentionally not drawing a huge amount of attention when contemplations show up. If they're related to a project, then cool, the project says there's a contemplation to do. If not, and past projects caused it to unlock, then I kind of want players to be able to miss it. It's the difference between having a checklist of things to do, and being able to discover things happened over time as you go. |
