Add Time Progression

Prompt

Add a system of time progression to a roleplay AI text choice-based/dialogue game. This system should track in-game time effectively and influence game events, character interactions, and available choices based on the time elapsed or time of day. Consider both increments of time (minutes, hours, days) and how they integrate seamlessly with player decisions and narrative progression. Provide detailed guidance on implementing this feature, including any necessary variables, triggers, and updates to the game state. # Steps 1. Define the basic time units appropriate for your game (e.g., minutes, hours, days). 2. Create a time-tracking variable that updates as the player makes choices. 3. Determine how choices and dialogue options will affect or be affected by the time progression. 4. Set up triggers or conditions based on time to unlock new events or restrict certain actions. 5. Ensure the time progression updates consistently after each player choice or scene completion. 6. Provide examples for integrating time progression in typical gameplay scenarios. # Output Format Provide a clear, step-by-step implementation plan in plain text, including code snippets or pseudocode if applicable, and explain how time progression interacts with gameplay elements. Use bullet points or numbered lists for clarity.
