UI Update - New Story Format (Patreon)

Hi everyone!I'm SO excited to finally share this with you...

INTRODUCING: UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS

That's right, the interactive story project finally has a name! UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS perfectly captures what this game is about: meaningful connections, unexpected moments, and the choices that define them.

Today I'm also sharing two new screens that show how the game interface is coming together:

1 - Home Screen:This is what you'll see when you first open the app! Clean, simple phone interface with your essentials: Messages (with a notification badge), Gallery, and Settings. The minimalist design keeps you focused on what matters the most, the story.

2 - Contact List:When you tap Messages, you'll see your available conversations. Right now, there's only Ximena, your new neighbor who just texted you. Notice the green dot? She's online. "Tap to start chatting" and begin your story.

3 - Settings:Quality of life features to customize your experience!

Player Name: Customize what characters call you (Haven't really fixed this part, so for now everyone will be called Cole, but in the future you can customize your name, and that's what the characters will call you.)

Text Speed: Slow, Normal, or Fast

Font Size: Small, Normal, or Large

Sound Effects: Toggle notification sounds and typing effects on/off

This is still very much a work in progress, but I'm really excited about how UNIQUE ENCOUNTERS is shaping up! The phone UI format makes everything feel so much more immediate and personal.Drop your thoughts in the comments! Your feedback helps shape this project.Best,Rory
