If the player was to pick up an object and give it to an NPC, there is a chance that the player gains something in return, almost like a trade. One example from the game is that if the player drops a snake that they have killed next to Nala (NPC that will be explained that on), she has a chance of giving the player food, which can temporarily increase the players endurance bar.<br><br>Missions also do this. Early missions give you food and experience. The experience when filled up enough times allows the player to chose one of the following options.<br>&#8211; +1 health point<br>&#8211; +1 strength point<br>&#8211; +1 endurance point Their health caps at 9 hearts\/paws. At the beginning of the game, their health starts at 3. Every time they get hurt, they lose a heart.<br>Their strength also caps (haven\u2019t figured out what each strength point is worth and how much extra damage it does).<br>Their endurance caps (same with the strength, not figured out details yet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-20959078 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jw18g24\/player-experience\/\">&lt; Player Experience<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jw18g24\/jessica-workman\/\">Home<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/jw18g24\/narrative-world\/\">Narrative + World &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Core Gameplay Core LoopPlayers would start exploring first.Exploring eventually ends with finding an NPC or puzzle.The player will interact with the NPC and complete a quest or the puzzle to complete.When the quest is completed, the player will receive a reward and be able to continue exploring the map.
