Title: Character POV Post by: belgariad87 on December 11, 2012, 01:14:08 PM Once you add physics and character creation and such, what will you do in terms of the camera? I'd really like to be able to look down and see part of my body and feet instead of nothingness.

I'd really like to be able to look down and see part of my body and feet instead of nothingness. That will come... probably with animation. There was a version of the game where you could do this but if you looked straight down you could see through your body... and if you looked just a little down you couldn't see your feet because of the avatar's boobs. Both indicate that a proper POV would have you lean forward when looking down which requires somewhat more sophisticated camera+avatar+animation linkage.

Items will be held in your hands... there will also still be the orbs in the lower corners as indicators of what you are holding and its current state.

Yes, if you are looking in a direction where they would be in view. |
