Add back the old announcement screen
« on: January 06, 2023, 06:57:52 pm »
So that we can peruse the announcement history, even if we dismiss an announcement. Few times I've dismissed an announcement accidentally or because I was in a hurry and dismissed more than I should have and found it really annoying that I can't just press a anymore to display what announcements were shown in the past.

If I say something funny, don't ask if you can sig it. Just do it (though credit me).

Agreed, premium is missing so much usefulness of the original it makes things a little frustrating

1. I noticed in the steam version that combat and announcement logs are currently limited and temporary compared to previous version. I just wanted to check if  a more comprehensive and permanent log will be brought back into future versions. Rereading what my guys were up to is important for storytelling purposes.
1. Yeah, we just ran out of time.  I was working on it the week before the release but it just wasn't going to be testable.  Now that we're fixing serious bugs and etc., it'll be a bit more time, but it's one of the high priority things to get back.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

I agree. I quite like the new announcement bubbles, but there needs to be a log you can refer back to as well.
