Dev Diary: Phone Interface (Patreon)

Since the amount of encounters increased, I decided that it would be resonable to implement the 'phone interface' into the game. So, what it does?

• you can get some encounters or quests via message now (envelope at the top right)
• clicking this envelope will allow you to check unread messages, accept or decline some quests ('Scanner encounter' initiation was moved from computer to phone messages, for example)
• the aim is to remove the need to look for some quests all over location (or checking with characters), and especially for quests tied to specific time hours
• another aim is to add some small additional element of side communication with characters (some simple dialogues in order to enrich game lore)
• phone messaging is also a tool needed for future implementation of future non-working events

Phone tool will make it into development game area in the end of this week (hopefully with digital version of new Nikki)
