Dev Spotlight: Attendance System.

[San0]

This one is nothing big to write home about but its still something worth mentioning as a good example of the type of limitations we have to work with on the current files, and one of the big parts where the new files free us up for improvements.

An attendance system is now something completely normal in most of the online games, where you are rewarded for your login consistency.

Its something we wanted to add to our older client even before Dion server came up, but once again, due to client limitations, there was no correct way to do it clean and simple.

On these new files we managed to recreate it properly not only in a clean, precise and functional way, but also in a way that we can easly plug and play changes as we see fit, as for example, if we have an event going on, we can easly change items you get from there to something more event related, and then change it back to normal items when event is over, or even simply change the items if we want to give something extra.

 

ATTENDANCE SYSTEM

Uppon logging in the game, players will have prompted to them this window.

NOTE: Items in the image might not represent what will be in the game, as they are moslty place holders for example proposes.

 

To put it simple. you log in, 30 minutes after you are elegible to redeem your reward of today, and by redeeming your reward of today you will be elegible to be able to get your reward tomorrow, and getting your reward tomorrow will make you elegible to redeem reward next day etc etc etc.

Rewards in this system will be small and nothing super relevant, we want the the players who are able to stay consistent to be rewarded for it, but we totally do not want players who cant do it for some reason to feel like they lost something important or feel like they are forced to log in even if they dont feel like just to get this 1 thing. For this same reason, it was made in a way that the progress does not reset if you dont redeem your reward, its saves it on the same stage until you can get it and then continue the progress from there.

 

You can also access this menu from the General Menu button.

 

Nothing big, nothing game changing, items on the list will depend on server states and conditions in order to not be anything broken, and keep being updated from time to time to keep it interesting and appealing.

 

 

STAY TUNED FOR MORE!
