Suggestion.. [Head tilt]
« on: December 19, 2007, 06:44:01 am »
Small suggestion from a gfx side.  This is the first thing that kinda
irked me a little and struck me as a little unnatural.

It looks like she's blindly swimming forward, top of her head first. 
I'm suggesting it be tilted upward..  not sure how hard that'd be,
but it doesn't seem like it would be (if the body parts are divided
into separate moving segments).

It doesn't  have to be very much.  First pic is original, 2nd and
3rd are tilting the head upward some, so she's kinda looking where swimming.








The 3rd one may be a little extreme, but just posting.  Also, since the pic
is from playing 16:9, the head distorted at little from rotating it.  But,
you get the idea.  (Support widescreen, damnit!)

That being said.. this game is AMAZING so far.. you guys really have an
accomplishment here.  Graphics are beautiful, the music just calms me.
The whole thing takes me back to the SNES rpg days when I was little
and felt like was in a dreamworld.  This is the kinda stuff the game
insdustries been missing

I'm playing this on a 37" 1920x1080 display in the dark with a big sound
system, so I'm getting the full effect.  Playing with an original xbox controller.
Rumble would be icing on the cake.. really lets you feel the spells being cast.
It'd be nice to be able to map a button to mimic the mouse3, and be able to look
around, or just map the 2nd joystick on the pad to looking.

Naija: "Aieeee! My neck!" You heartless fiend, you must know that the reason Naija's neck is straight is because she's really inflexible. Shame on you ;)

A slight tilt might work but that bottom one would never work not even in real life, have you ever tried to swim like that? :o Not only does it hurt, also you start going around in circles or slowing down lol

I kind of like that 2nd picture too, I think it looks like a Naija would be less blind to where she is going and yet still looking at the environment. It would be a pretty easy fix too, but it would have to be changed for each costume for naija and each form as well.

I read something on another topic about "bones" of animations: you could just change the angle of the aforementioned bones and voila!  :)

The head tilt would also be nice to see when she is talking  ;)
