Hearthvale Dev Log #3 — Weekly Pass Rewards, Inventory System & UI Cleanup
Hearthvale Dev Log #3 — Weekly Pass Rewards, Inventory System & UI Cleanup
Hello everyone! 👋🌿
Welcome to Dev Log #3 for Hearthvale.
Today’s work focused on UI consistency, weekly pass rewards, and a functional inventory system. This update brings more structure to progression and makes item management much clearer for players.
🎨 Consistent Modal UI System
I spent time cleaning up the UI and creating a consistent modal design across the game.
What changed:
- Standardized modal layouts
- Cleaner structure for easier maintenance
- Simpler adjustments for future features
This change doesn’t add new gameplay, but it makes the system more stable and easier to expand.
🎟️ Weekly Pass Rewards Now Working
The weekly pass system is now functional, and daily login rewards can finally be claimed.
Reward Changes
Previously:
- Rewards were added directly as energy.
Now:
- Rewards are given as energy potions instead.
Current Daily Rewards
Free Pass:
Medium Energy Potion
- Restores 50 energy
Premium Pass:
2 Wood
1 Stone
1 Large Energy Potion
- Restores 100 energy
📊 VIP & Weekly Pass Bonuses Visible
You can now see your active bonuses directly inside the Player Modal → Stats Tab.
If you have:
- An active Weekly Pass
- A VIP Tier
Your bonuses will now appear in your stats panel.
This makes progression and benefits much clearer.
🎒 Inventory System Update
The inventory is now functional and allows you to manage your items.
New inventory actions:
- Use item
- Drop item
Tool Equipping
To mine or cut trees:
- Open your inventory
- Click the tool item
- It will automatically equip
You can see your equipped item on the right side of the screen.
⚒️ Blacksmith Update (Placeholder Tabs)
The Blacksmith now has two additional tabs:
- Craft
- Equipment
⚠️ These are placeholders for now and do not perform any actions yet.
Future Plan
- Dungeons will be introduced after unlocking Map 3.
- Equipment and crafting systems will be expanded later.
📈 Character Progression Active
You can now level up your character through normal gameplay progression.
This will tie into future content such as:
- Map unlocks
- Equipment
- Dungeons
- Advanced progression systems
⚠️ Item Database Update (Important)
The item database was updated today.
Because of this:
- Older items are now invalid
- They cannot be used anymore
What to do:
If you have old items in your inventory:
- Please drop them for now.
This is part of preparing the system for future equipment and crafting features.
🔧 Next Development Goals
Planned tasks for the next session:
UI cleanup and polish
Add game notifications
Bug checking and fixes
If time allows:
- Start building Map 2
🌱 That’s It for Dev Log #3
Today’s update includes:
- Consistent modal UI system
- Weekly pass rewards fully working
- Daily login claims implemented
- Energy potions added
- VIP and weekly pass bonuses visible
- Functional inventory with item usage and dropping
- Tool equipping from inventory
- Blacksmith tabs added (placeholders)
