Video Dev Log #6 | UI Map HUD (Heads Up Display)

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

Video Developer Log #6 has just been uploaded to Youtube. This log focuses on the UI Map HUD (Heads Up Display) that the player will see while navigating the maps.

  • Each map is categorized by zones; Green Zones are safe for the player, Yellow Zones exist in World Maps where random encounters occur, and Red Zones are where enemy sprites walk around and will attack the player's party.
  • Top left of the map HUD show each party member's portrait, character level, Life Points, & Faith Points.
  • Bottom left of the map HUD show the player's Food, Water, and Sleep levels indicated by vertical gauges and a Min/Max counter. Also, boxes exist above the gauges to indicate any F/W/S penalties. (Note: Mercenaries & Followers handle their own needs and aren't affected by the player's penalties)
  • Bottom right of the map HUD show a clock graphic, Time Active/Paused, and Time of Day graphic which all update in Real Time.
  • Clock: Time is only Active while the player is on the World Map and is Paused while in a Local Map. Time also progresses during activities that consume time such as Sleeping, Praying (to regenerate Faith Points), and Crafting.
  • Day/Night Cycle: There are 24 hours in a day. 60 seconds in Real Time = 2 hours in Game Time OR 12 minutes in Real Time = 24 hours in Game Time.
  • Times of Day: A day is broken up into 6 sections; Early Morning (6:00am), Late Morning (8:00am), Daytime (10:00am-4:00pm), Early Evening (6:00pm), Late Evening (8:00pm), Nighttime (10:00pm-4:00am).
