One of his current projects is listed on the homepage.
I would love to see this project come alive. This looks like it could be real promising. |
Hi, thank you for the reply. Well, i tried to get as much details for starters as i could. I think too it would be possible to port in some form. Hm, i will try contacting him as you suggest, hopefully he would help out. By the way, I have put in some additional thoughts to the project with one other member. Here is what we have come up with yesterday:
Best way would be to make the Analog stick perform as a mouse, and adapt the micro-management system to the PSP.
As for texture quality, keep trying variations until we find one that's a acceptable balance.
You could also allow the user to assign shortcuts to the digital pad, ex:
Default:
Up - Launch Menu
Left - Build Menu
Right - Research Menu
Down - Game View
Custom:
Up - Sphere formation
Left - Claw Formation
Right - Wall Formation
Down - Custom Formation
and etc.
You could require that the user must be holding down the L or R triggers to rotate the camera, and assign the ^/X/O/[] buttons as so:
Default Config:
L - Focus on current ship
R - Orbit Camera
X - Left Click
O - Right Click/Context Menu
[] - Move Command
^ - Attack Command
Custom Config:
L - Left Click
R - Right Click/Context Menu
X - Attack Command
O - Orbit Camera
[] - Focus on Current Ship
^ - Move Command
As for rendering options, D3D will be unavailable. DirectX is not coded into the infrastructure and I believe the system either uses OpenGL or a custom API. Best bet is to go with Software rendering in the meantime.
I think that now the idea and project is getting more clear
