# News Ticker

With the exception of certain policies, the majority of the lore in City Limits comes from the news ticker. During regular gameplay (when there isn't any disasters or financial problems), the news ticker provides fictional turn of events that happen in the city, such as the Kitty Kibble shortage from SimCity 3000.

## Extra Lore

Additionally, I've added my own turn of events with the ``extra_lore.json`` file. Internally, this is known as "Caseyverse" and has a global node of the same name. That node is designed so the game can function without it through the use of the ``is_caseyverse()`` function (which checks for that json file, at the moment) and any future related functions that deal with events.
Slightly rewrote the news ticker architecture - The news ticker is now a stealth button that opens a window. - News window now has brandings for FNN and Pawprint Press. - Ticker now provides extra lore by me if is_caseyverse.txt is present. - Moved the news ticker functions to the window source, for now. - Added .gdignore 2022-08-08 03:53:39 -04:00			`# News Ticker`

Decoupling more hardcoded data - Created a json helper to streamline decoupling of hardcoded data - Removed non-existent VR bridge reference - News ticker files are no longer hardcoded to the game. - Removed hardcoded city and mayor names using Json helper 2022-08-08 16:10:14 -04:00			Additionally, I've added my own turn of events with the ``extra_lore.json`` file.
