Calendar
- Thread starter Kingjurassic
- Start date
On a separate note, when I saw the title, the first thing that came to mind was that Photo Calendar mission from JPOG.
Some sort of time reference is kind of essential to management sims. At the moment, it's all real time in minutes (I'm guessing that's also maybe what the lifespans used to be measured in, being the reason they felt so short), so I guess each minute could be made into a week, 52 minutes for a year, or you could could make it a 60th of a year for a round hour (6 and a bit days per minute, 5 minutes per month).
I think it's probably a bit late to put this in the normal campaign (there's also the matter of time not passing when switched to another island), but putting it into challenge mode should be straightforward, with an in game timer already present.
Another way I could see time being used is in the time on the actual save file, though that would be more suitable for things like the Claire Campaign and Sandbox saves, where you're only active on one island/can't go back to other islands.
