Scripting

Please post any ideas you have that may require some heavier scripting. That way I can give feedback on whether or not we can accomplish that in the time we have.

Example:

Climbing or grabbing onto ledges, buttons, switches, puzzles or games, etc.

Thanks

Hey Chad, I think that we could work to create an official submission form so that things are more organized for you. For the time being I think the two biggest things you could explore for now are:

1. The climbing mechanic that we talked about in class. Pulling up at a ledge would be a great gameplay element if we can pull it off. It would be even greater if we could get traversable edges (along a horizontal axis). Obviously that may be too hard to pull off.

2. The camera tracking that we also talked about. We want a stationary camera to track the player as they move through the level. We also would need to know our options as far as an over the shoulder, Gears of War kind of tracking at some points. A seamless transition between these two would also be desirable.

I'll have the game Ico to show you what I mean on Wednesday. Otherwise don't kill yourself on the 2nd one yet.
