Do bats need maps?
🕑 Added 2024-01-20 23:05:35 +0000 UTCHi. Welcome back.
As promised in the last post, I've taken some time to go way back to the beginning of the game, do some ground work and polishing. The journal, the character list. Traits. Navigation. Some of it you will see fairly soon and some of it is still cooking.
Anyways, the idea of an actual interactive map has wriggled its way into my brain. Something to show you the world, to keep notes of locations, perhaps even to track who is where at a certain time... should you have gained that knowledge.
The thing is, I'm a writer pretending to code, not a coder trying to write. This is certainly doable, but it might take some time to get going and iron out any issues along the way. So I wanted to get everyone's opinion - do you think a feature like this is worthwhile doing, and specifically doing now* (February or March update) ?
Additionally, would you like to see more "fancy" UI stuff? An actual clock that ticks time, overall animations/transitions, that sort of thing?
Let me know below!

I think if you ~want~ to add this feature and expand your skillsets to be mode technical with twine. I think it would be a great idea.

A map showing which locations are connected to each other would be useful.

I like the idea of it, but this late in the game it'd probably be less of a headache to either leave it until the story is finished or just not at all.

We come for the writing, a map would be fun and all but don't let anything get in the way of your beautiful(?) story please~

A map would, indeed, be very lovely ^^

I think, in short term, if you were to make a simple image that displays the map that is available at any time (or changes when new locations are unlocked), that would work. Of course I have no experience with coding at all so I'm not sure if even that shortterm would be worth the time spent. I think it would be nice but not strictly necessary at this moment.
