As I come closer to the end of top Part 3, I am thinking once again about the idea of a time jump. When I see "time jump", I am referring to a passage of time in which I reveal changes in characters and discuss events that occurred. For example, changes to the environment, to the Junkyard, or even individual character development may occur outside of the game itself.
Some people really enjoy time jumps, because it moves along the timeline and advances the plot in unpredictable ways. Some players don't like time jumps, because they feel they are not a part of the changes that occur. For some it breaks immersion, and for others it's exciting to see what has happened in the downtime. As I think about starting Part 4 in the next few months, I really need to decide if a time jump will occur or not.
