Goes up each time an [[alarm]] is triggered, is reset by returning to the safe zone.
|
|
|
|
~~When this hits maximum, it alerts the [[grunk beast]]. #maybe there are effects at other levels too.~~
|
|
|
|
This should NOT be displayed to the player while in-game, to increase anxiety (did I trip the alarm 4 times or only 3???). Player should get a HUD notification (!!GRUNK ALERT!!) when increasing, and the previous alert-level should be shown when resetting at the safe zone.
|
|
|
|
When returning to the safe zone, if the current level is 1 or lower it remains unchanged. Otherwise, it is reset back to 1.

I like the idea of modelling this on the [Homeland Security Advisory System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_Security_Advisory_System). |
