| Summary | 0017814: Change pickup's icons | ||||
| Description | I copy-pasted my forum's post about the images of the pickups for energy, money, missile, health etc. I may be a little too emotionally involved in this and this post may sounds like a "rage" post (and please believe it's not). However, while I recognize it's a matter of taste, I strongly believe there is a wider question of immersion and suspension of disbelief. self-quote: Medpack, dollar bills and battery... seriously? This is all you were able to come up with? Look, I know it must be visually recognizable but... We're at the end of the universe and "medpack are for health, bills for money and cells for energy" puts me off. Really. I'm sorry to say that, really; and even more sorry because I know it can't really be fixed because it needs to be that way, but... So sad... So so very very sad. What would I suggest? Well. What about something that doesn't tell what it do by how it looks, but with some sort of mouseover text? Something like "Ya see this blue/green/shiny/pulsing/strange crystal/orb/piece/module/thingy? It's power/ammo/magic-repair/wealth/superpowerup, but Y'know, from the future." Yeah, I know, clear-design, affordance, blah-blah. Screw affordance! We're at the end of the universe! How can I accept to suspend my disbelief if you keep throwing cells and bills at me??? I'm sorry to linger on this, but it's really important to me. I hope you won't screw your own game by listening to me, but I had to say it. I feel better, now. | ||||
