First upload


==ANNOUNCEMENTS==

  • First version upload! No one's reading this right now because the project is private, but it's nice to have a place to organize my thoughts.

==NEW IMPLEMENTATIONS==

  • Player Name: the player can input their name to be used for various parts of the game.
  • Time & Day system: a time/day system works is running. At the moment, the game runs infinitely at about 10 in-game minutes per 1 real-life second. 
  • UI: a rough outline of the UI has been implemented. Tentative pixel art in place.
  • SCREENS: an INBOX has been implemented and works as intended.
  • EMAILS: about ~20 emails have been created and inserted, although their contents are far from finished.

==TO FINE-TUNE==

  • Fine-tune time system: for this prototype version, the game will have a hard time limit of 7 days. The time system will be tweaked to reflect that. I've also yet to decide how time should progress in the game (such as if sleeping should be enforced).
  • Add more emails & add content to emails.
  • Pretty-up the general UI.

==(EVER-GROWING) TO DO LIST==

  • PLAYER CUSTOMIZATION: add more options such as the player's real name, player's online alias, and column titles.
  • FEATURES: write and implement a notoriety function that increases or decreases depending on player's actions with emails.
  • SCREENS: design and implement DESKTOP; design and implement MISCELLANEOUS DESKTOP ICONS; design and implement HOME  page; design GAME LOGO.
  • EMAILS: write and implement a reply function; write and implement more emails.
  • CUTSCENES: write and implement introductory cutscene, midterm progress cutscene, and win/lose cutscene.

=="WISH" FEATURES==

  • More inbox options such as multiple inbox pages, a "starred emails" feature & accompanying "starred first" view, and mass delete.
  • Instant Messaging feature where you can "live chat" with characters.
  • Random email content generator to ensure that 1) content varies each playthrough 2) content never runs out.
  • More subplots (possible love interests).
  • Tab & minimizing system.
