We have reworked the in-game interface to accommodate the new mechanics described below in this article. The in-game interface includes several important elements, and we will discuss all the new mechanics in more detail later in development:
/!\ Note that these interfaces are still in development and are subject to improvement, this is not the final version of the update (far from it!).
The date and Time : This allows you to know what time it is at any moment. This will be useful for finding the inhabitants based on their habits. This display is already present in version a1.0.1.
Version 1.1.0 will add an icon to symbolize the time of day: dawn, day, evening, and night. Finally, this display shows your money. More information will be provided in a few weeks.
In-Game interface display
Display of the date, time, and your money
This new interface also includes a mini-map, allowing you to see the surroundings at a glance!
The health and stamina bars are functional.
At the top of your screen, you'll find a compass to help you navigate the surroundings and see points of interest nearby.
The sprint is being reworked, with an endurance bar that will limit the duration of the sprint.
Sprinting will be linked to your endurance, represented by the bar below your health. The sprint and endurance bars are divided into two parts: over 50% and under 50%.
Your sprint bar, which appears when you sprint (logical!).
Your endurance bar, located below your health, represents your level of fatigue.
If your endurance is above 50%, your sprint will deplete at a normal speed, and you will lose 5 endurance points if your sprint goes beyond the middle of the bar (see illustration).
If your endurance is above 50% and your sprint is completely depleted, you become breathless. Therefore, you cannot sprint during the recovery time, and it deducts 10 endurance points (see illustration).
If your endurance is below 50%, then your sprint will deplete much faster.
Finally, if your endurance reaches 0%, then you will no longer be able to sprint.
To regain your endurance, rest or eat foods that have endurance-boosting properties.
/!\ Also note that endurance gradually depletes over time.
We are currently developing the first quests related to the story of Fisherman's Island. That's why this update is called the "Awakening Update" because something is awakening in Phalania, and it will be up to you to discover it through the game's story. This update concretely prepares Act I, Chapter I of the story of Fisherman's Island.
We will republish another article in a few days to continue describing the upcoming features of Fisherman's Island, without making it too lengthy all at once, so stay tuned!
