Aker Ghaal Lo-Tech Solutions Ltd 9	Posted - 2014.02.02 23:30:00 - [1] - Quote It ... It was supposed to be a pun... a bad ... Ah no matter! Anyway Ello! I have been meaning to make constructive posts like this for awhile now but I have been busy with stuff related to ... other stuff Anyway what I have been doing is critically analyze things I think we need to change with the game so we can start moving to towards the goal of becoming a AAA-shooter. Also so it can be more akin towards its bid daddy counter part: EVE. In other words I have been working on visually showing my ideas so they are more presentable towards the community making them more ... approachable so the majority can understand. First things first however, My main points of interest are: *Progression, Immersion and Game play.* This section will be about *Immersion.* The other ones will soon follow. STAY TUNED KIDZ! I// "Make it fantastically mundane... you know what I am talking about!"// Basically I don't feel like a merc, I don't. I feel like a cookie in a jar since I am moist and ... stop! JUST stop! No What I am talking about is the "transition effect", What I mean is with all the rich lore and back story to the game you never feel connected to anything. You just get dragged out of the experience as soon as you load, spawn and do anything that requires a transition. So what I am discussing is creating the illusion of ZERO load screens and anything of the like. What I propose is a change of design of the load screens and transitions as well as HUD elements since they are included in this idea of mine. //Note// In this concept the racial variety of the suits play a huge role in the loading screens ... Just ... bare that in mind! //This one shown here is of the Gallante variety// Start Load-Fade Load-DP Load-DP-TIPS Load-DP-Fac Load-DP-Tacnet Load-Gall-Hud And voila! You will have to of course visualize it a bit but I think it works just fine as stills for now. More importantly I think it showcases a good idea of what we could make of the game. Alas though I will list a few things in regards to the concepts themselves. Most significant change is the way you jump into a battle, since now you basically just fly in without any feeling of presence within and without the dropsuit. With my concept here it basically show what a drop suit start up sequence can look like, Showcasing the elements which are characteristically with the dropsuit of your choice. //As shown here in these// Gallante-Hud Caldari-Hud Amarr-Hud Minnmatar-Hud So with these in mind you will be transported trough your clones into your Favorited suit and be put on the battlefield. Although it will work the same way as the current loading screen ... I think it safe to say this would have a little more PAzzaasss to it! //OH SQUAD OH MEMBERS WHERE ART THOU YOU MY SQUAD?// This one has actually everything to do with squads! Not really since this is about huds and immersion after all. Although Nothing says that Immersion can't be designed with function, so without further delay he...

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 3874	Posted - 2014.02.03 00:04:00 - [5] - Quote I do not think it should be a fade away. Rather, I propose that it be a white out. Where the screen glows increasingly white, then the battle starts fading in and then the image UN blurs and becomes clear.

Thanks mate! yeah pretty much although just wanted to visualize it since most of the time you show pictures they are poorly compressed so I exaggerated to emphasis the point. Nevertheless thanks for the feedback!

Atheor Sindromer Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 38	Posted - 2014.02.03 00:28:00 - [12] - Quote Outstanding stuff, really. I'm impressed and totally loving this since I'm very hardcore about immersion and visual details. It's true that these little things, although seemingly insignificant at first glance, can actually bring a game alive with culture and personality. I am absolutely in love with this concept. Love the sinner, hate the Sindromer.

That was the intention ofc, I always found that bewildering to have a team based game with RPG HP systems whilst not having a way to communicate that to other people. Anyways cheers mate!

Monkey MAC Lost Millennium 1796	Posted - 2014.02.03 01:05:00 - [18] - Quote Very Nice Certainly deservant of a +1 A few things however your current prototypes for the HUDs are very nice, but personally the shapes only really suit the gallante. The caldari I would expect to be a lot more sharp if you know what I mesn. Also the act of entering a new clone is supposed to be quite painful, I would prefer the bootup to begin as you fall to the ground (use inertia dampner landing) for just a LITTLE more immersion.

Maken Tosch Edimmu Warfighters Gallente Federation 6696	Posted - 2014.02.03 02:01:00 - [24] - Quote Holy Mary Mother of a 2000-year-old Carpenter! I always thought that adding a unique color to the HUD would help, but I never realized how much of an impact it can have visually to the gameplay experience. Here are what I like about the HUDs you posted... 1. The unique color, of course. It makes it feel like you're wearing a particular RACE of a suit rather than just having to look at your own hands to get that feeling. It also gives you a sense of the overall design philosophy behind each race. 2. I would very much like to see the squad commands displayed more visually. Seeing them on the top right corner of the screen in a bland color that can easily be overlooked is not something to experience when you want to know if you have an orbital available. 3. The transition via the HUD is an excellent idea. Although I would recommend throwing in some static flickering of the entire HUD to signify that your consciousness is in transit to a battle clone body. Alternatively, one could add in a cut scene of a merc getting shipped to a nearby district in the meantime. Dedicated Scout // Ninja Knifer *CLOSED BETA VETERAN SINCE REPLICATION BUILD*

Ah all right, didn't think it that way although I think if I had more space in the post I would have explained in detail all the small concepts such as the transitions etc. I have a lot more to say but that will have to be on the next post haha! Anyway hope you liked it mate !
