Random Ideas-Put Them Here

Post by Phalanx » Mon Apr 15, 2013 5:19 pm

If anyone has a random idea they feel is relevant to the gameplay mechanics area of development, put it here! However, if the idea is non-trivial please make a forum thread for it instead of posting it here. Open discussion is welcomed, but be sure not to hate on other's ideas. Everyone gets a fair hearing!

Please make a new topic for any non-trivial ideas. Otherwise we will never be able to locate them again.

This kinda defeats the purpose of organizing the development section.

This is for trivial ideas that are to one dimensional or too small to deserve their own forum topic. I do see your point, however.

Will bullets have models or sprites? Models are cooler, but directional sprites are less hardware-taxing.

Bullet tracers in most games is two quads making an X with a texture on them, same is how grass/flowers are done in Minecraft. I don't really see any reason to get any fancier than that.
Btw, there is no reason they need to look all opaque and blocky like most of the laser mods. There are tons of perfectly decent free resources out there for simple things like tracer rounds which we can use.
