Radar implementation
admin | June 5, 2010
Also today I’ve adding some new goodies to the game..!
A radar function has been implemented, that will allow the player to interpret relevant info, such as obstacles or waypoints.
I’ve built this radar modifying an existing Javascript script that can be found here: http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=Radar
Soon i’ll have to begin testing the prototypes. I’m very itnerested to find out, for example, if the test players will be able to interpret the radar correctly, given the fact that the sidescrolling gameplay contradicts the usual vertical interpretation of a radar screen. It is going to be interesting to find out if people gets disoriented if the radar is rotated to follow the direction of the scrolling of the game.
I also changed the POV to make the game more similar to my original concept (Whale Defense Response).
Soon I will upload a decent prototype, so you will have the possibility to try it by yourselves.
