Dev Diary: Phone Interface

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)
