| Summary | 0003271: Mutterings to self. | ||||
| Description | Marisa and I were talking about introducing certain things in the game for the first time, such as when the players first encounter some new civilization from another time period, or when they first see a wrecked interior of a house, or when they first see an alien-looking sky. Since the characters are alone most of the time, they'd need to stop and remark to themselves on this strange phenomena the first time. This would be one effective way of having drawing the player's attention to some of the stranger things going on, without beating them over the head with it or making commentary all the time. When the character stops to comment, the character could become invincible like they just entered the area, and then the text window pops up. When they hit ok, it leaves them in the invincibility until they move or whatever, again like coming into the level fresh again. Just wanted to note this down to remember it! | ||||

When I first saw the issue title I thought it was a description of your activity while creating the record, rather than a description of the feature you were thinking about ;) But yea, some sort of "cabbaging" (the iconic example of which is the "Captain's Log" from Star Trek) is necessary for the character to pass some info onto the actual player. Making them invincible in the meantime could have issues, but not doing so would also have issues. Some games just tell you you've got a new lore entry or whatnot and you can look at it at your leisure, but that has it's own issues (notably, even relatively lore-interested players just not thinking to make time to do it). Will need to think about this one. |
