Now with the inventory/notebook and the star information UI popup functionality completed. I need to populate them with information that the player can actually use to get to new islands. Which I planned in this post during the previous sprint:
1. Star Compass
A vital part of the star navigation scene is knowing which way you’re facing. This will be done using the star compass that I’ve already developed in this post:
2. Akau Star
Akau is one of the four cardinal directions that the Star Compass displays, think Polaris but in Haerenga. This star will always point in the same direction (Which just so happens to be where the Village island is located)
3. Constellation
This constellation has a spear that points directly at the horizon (And also directly towards the next island the player must go to). The picture below has stars in the illustration that translate to stars in the star navigation scene. The player will be able to open their inventory and cross reference with stars in the scene:
4. Pointer Stars
As discussed in this post, this puzzle was heavily inspired by Blue Prince’s dart board puzzle, the player will have to look out for this specific pointer star. Then count how many of them there are, the amount of pointer stars will tell them how many divisions to turn to reach the next island
Notebook/Inventory
Once the player unlocks all of the star information, the notebook will be completely full with information:
