How in the world are you going to communicate to the player what their funk index is?
TL;DRThere will be no stink meter or stink lines; dirt and wear will show visually and hygiene will only prompt occasional NPC comments, without affecting gameplay.
There's not going to be a funk meter, if that's what you're asking. I think it will just be a case of things like dirt and wear are going to be a lot more visual, right? And they're going to be very noticeable. If you've gone and rolled around in mud, then you're going to be covered in mud. If you are out for a long time and your armor's worn, it will start to get maybe a couple of holes in it. Clothing especially will get holes in it, rips in it. It'll look filthy and faded and things like that. So that'll be super obvious. Hygiene, we're not going to have things like stink lines on. And like I say, hygiene isn't going to affect your gameplay. There'll just be comments here and there of, what's that smell? And at that point, you might be like, oh, yeah, I've not showered in the last 10 play sessions I've had. Maybe next time I'm on my ship, I should just quickly pop in there and have a wash. So, yeah, no plans for a stink meter or visual stink lines coming from your character, nothing like that. Maybe a few flies, depending on where you are.
