Jump City Journeys Development Update #1

Hello everyone! First off I want to say how cool it is to see this thing come together and I'm so excited to be able to drop it soon. Thank you all so much for the support thus far, every little bit really does help. 

When designing the interface of the game I wanted something that used text buttons as little as possible, so the world is navigated completely by image buttons like doors, furniture, buildings, etc. 

The Titan Communicator will be capable of texting, video chat between characters, accessing the quest log, and opening the settings menu. The backpack button will toggle the inventory screen. 

The time of day rotates through morning, day, afternoon, and night. Players will be able to change the time of day from anywhere, but at the cost of expending energy. More on that later! I'm also looking to implement full moon nights and rainy days as periodic reoccurring events that will have special scenes available.

The City Map, Nightwing's room, and Starfire's room should make it into the initial build, but they are still being worked on. Raven's room and her bed still need a little bit of work, but everything will be progressively polished as development continues. 

For anyone that doesn't know yet, Nightwing will be the first and only playable character for a long while. 

Updates in the next week or two will showcase character sprites as we approach the end of October and initial release. The NPCs choose their own outfits depending on their mood and how much the player has progressed. Some characters are going to have a lot, Raven already has at least 15 unique outfits done behind the scenes (only a few will be in the initial build). In future builds, once you have progressed enough, you will be able to choose the NPC outfits for them 😏 

There will be an android build eventually, but that is probably not going to release at the same time as the PC build.

Cheers everyone and have a great weekend! 🙏
