Terrain and character control

posted in: Flash | 0

I started working on the terrain rendering for Fix today.  The general idea is to make it similar to how I did it in Company, but update it to support more gameplay features and overall coolness.

Aside from that, I’ve been fiddling with the character controls to see if I can make Kathryn a bit more agile.  I tried some wall hangs and such, but ultimately decided that the best solution is a simple double jump.  Anything more complicated could distract from the more important elements of the game, since the only real goal here is to make getting around slightly faster.

I’m also playing with some fun lighting effects, but it’s nothing particularly serious or interesting right now.

Here’s a screenshot (but only if you promise to keep in mind that all the textures and the character are still very much placeholders).

    Looks great! Strange, though, I always imagined that it would be top-down, since the smoke didn’t rise…

    Top-down??? What???

  3. SBRedFlag

    Top-down. You know, looking from above. Bird’s eye view. Whatever you want to call it.

  4. Huh.. I — I must have missed something. When did you mention that Fix will be a prequel to TCoM? ‘Cause all I remember reading about Fix is the smoke. I was somewhat puzzeled and confused when you, in the “”Work of Fiction” releases” post, mentioned the prequel was going to be about Kathryn. What of Grief? Did you forget about it, or what? I thought that would be the next TCoM related game.
    Anywho, I like the fact we will be playing Kathryn, It just came all of a sudden, without any introduction.

    Fix has been floating around for quite some time now as a prequel to CoM with the main person being Kathryn; just have not been talked about much as that as of late

    also, with Greif, it wasn’t working out how he liked it, so it has been postponed as of further notice

  7. Yeah, fine, but when and where has it been mentioned? ‘Cause I read all the posts after TCoM release, and comments (I didn’t check the comments on older posts). Didn’t find any. I just found it confusing, that’s all.

  8. SBRedFlag: Right. Got it. I understand what you’re saying now! I agree, too.
