Time Skip Voting – Multiplayer Functionality
In multiplayer sessions, players can now interact with the clock gauge in the wheelhouse to propose a time skip. After selecting a desired time, a vote prompt will be sent to all players in the session. If the majority agrees, time will skip forward to the selected point. The player who initiates the vote can follow its voting progress in real time, allowing for clear coordination and timing across everyone in the session.
Common use cases include:
- Skipping nighttime or stormy weather for better visibility or safer conditions
- Advancing time to increase the chances of a bigger catch
- Refreshing available missions by progressing the in-game clock
What This Unlocks for the Future
The introduction of the voting system lays the groundwork for a broader set of interactive features aimed at giving players greater control over their experience at sea. Planned future improvements include:- Voting on wave height or weather conditions during a session
- Teleport requests to harbour locations
