[FEEDBACK NEEDED] Day & Night Cycle/Time Progression Tutorial

Hello dear Patreons! Hope you're doing well. 

I'd like to say thank you to all the new patrons that have joined and thank you to all patrons who have been sticking around for a while as well! Nice to see some of your comments on my posts and private messages that you like my scripts and tutorials and have use for them in your games. I appreciate you taking your time to let me know. Glad to have you here. 😊

I've been thinking for a while about making a day & night cycle, or time progression type of tutorial with Ren'Py and would like to see with you guys if there's any interest in it before I start working on it. I've read here and there that this is a thing some people want in their games, seeing as how some other popular visual novel games does it as well.

This would be a Patreon exclusive tutorial for everyone in the Supporter tier or higher.

The tutorial I have in mind would have the progression of time based on actions done, and each action would take different amount of time to get done. These actions could be mini-games of sorts where you complete chores for example, and once it's done some time has passed in the game.

Could also be something as simple as pressing a button (ex: "start cleaning") where the player simply has to wait a few seconds, and then when those seconds are up, an hour or so have passed in the game.

The time would be shown somewhere on the screen during the game so you can see and plan out what to do next based on how much time there's left on the day.

What do you think? 

Would love to hear your feedback, so do leave a comment on this post and press the heart/like button on it if you like the idea and maybe have something to add in terms of functionality and I'll see if I can incorporate it. 😁

Thank you all for your feedback so far! 😁 I'll make sure to make a tutorial and take into consideration some of your feedback. I'm working on a tutorial for the channel right now, but will start working on the day and night cycle tutorial when I have time and will let you know how it's coming along later on.

ooh yeah I'd be interested in that, time passing based on tasks of differing length :) could you maybe also explore certain tasks only available at a certain time of day? ex. you can only feed the birds between 6-8am, or a restaurant the character wants to go to only opens at 5pm, etc. thank you in advance! Finding your page has been so helpful with my renpy coding already~
