PC layout for Combat…

October 8,2009 11:31 am

Since we’re doing everything with HD in mind, we have a lot of lateral room to play around with.  So we’ve added a few new things to the PC version (design-wise.)  See the screenshot below:

We have the players name along with a nifty (huge) recharge indicator.  We’ve need to really make this big, because you need a quick read when you’re battling 3 other people.  It gets really hectic during combat…especially when you accidently kill your teammate and have to go it alone!  We’ve also put in a faint “recharge” timer so you know how long before you’ll be able to fire (it fills up with a subtle grey, then pops to Green.)

I’ll have more to show as I get it finished.

 

Sorry but background is almost ugly. No let me rephrase. I looks fine but the real problem is that we don’t see the chars. Thanks for sharing.

I agree w/TP; characters don’t “pop” out from the BG enough for me. I wonder if the recharge indicators would work better if they were different colors? (to be more easily differentiated from one player to the next?)

good feedback, keep it coming. Believe me we want to get this perfect so the more feedback the better. There are still a lot of layers of particles and lighting that needs to be added. Keep ideas coming.
