Chaos Chain Dev Update: 9/2/21
Hey everyone!
I apologize for not posting earlier this week, I know some of you have been eagerly waiting to see more about the new upcoming game Chaos Chain, but I have been very sick and in bed most of the time until now. I am finally starting to feel better.
Anyways, today I only have one screenshot to show off a new QOL feature because I have only worked a half day today. Hoping to get more done tomorrow.
Floating Labels
This might seem like a minor feature, but in the past with my games, people have mentioned they don't always know or understand what they can interact with. I have always made it so that if you hover the mouse over something that can be used, hover text (labels) appear over top of it. Now, you will have the option to simply toggle them always on. It may get a bit cluttered on the screen in small areas from time to time, but I have the opacity lowered a bit from my other projects to allow better visibility and high-contrast text to be able to properly see the label itself.
I have added an option to the settings menu that allows you to permanently enable or disable floating labels - independently of the mouse. If you disable the feature, you will get labels when you hover over something with the mouse, but they will always be on if the setting is enabled. Some people tend to disable the mouse, but this change will still allow this feature to work.
Something else that is kind of visible in the screenshot is the red diamond over the door. This is just an indicator that I created (it pulses over time) to signify that an otherwise static environmental object (such as a door, trash can, etc) can be interacted with. Doors that can be opened to travel to another area have blue arrows inside of them as well.
That's all for now, thank you for reading. Hopefully, I can have more info and screenshots soon.
