| Summary | 0017873: Illusion of Flight Animation Idea | ||||
| Description | One of the major problems with the game right now is there is no feel of flying or illusion of momentum. I think that the animation -- or lack of animation -- on your ship plays a big part in this. Everything is just so flat and static. To this end, someone suggested to me that it might work if the wings of your craft were to fold back aerodynamically as you sped around like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SwbpHUdBqE&feature=youtu.be&t=29 To this end, to see how something like this would work in Starward Rogue I mocked up a clip of the craft with varying wing positions based on the current speed, which should elucidate. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30011618/Starward%20Rogue%20Flight%20Illusion%202.mp4 I think that this does seem to give the craft a greater feel of momentum. Of course, in space this type of aerodynamics is not necessary. But maybe the wings do that because of **sci-fi babble**. In any case, I think this shows that a few little animations here and there could enhance that feeling of speed and inertia. | ||||
