CHANGE REQUSTED: Better Graphics

Post by jjax »

The current graphics really are lacking when compared to other five star titles such as Battle stations Midway/Pacific.

So if the developers would put in some 3D graphics, that would be great. I'm not asking for much, just the pacific war modeled in 3D.

If you can get that done by next patch, that would be better.

What??! Not even the same type of games. This is a top down grognard game, the graphics are wonderful for that.

No arcade game here :)

Haha but I get the sarcasm by the way.

I have to say I laughed out loud at that one. I've seen your other posts, so I think you are kidding, but that was still enough to grab my attention and cause an outward display of humor.

Don't you people read the design documents??

The conversion to 3D sprites is slated to come *after* the bridge-view simulator and the Guadalcanal FPS module.

I actually was thinking of a way to spruce things up a bit. I need to do some more research..but there may be something out there that could be interesting to explore.

Actually I'm happy with things the way they are, but there actually is something that could be interesting and may work. I've already seen it in action, but I need to see if it would be practical in this case. Its a seperate application and would reside on top on WitP

I know it sounds crazy, but you never know unless you try.

Interesting you should make this comparison.

1st, I've never heard anyone use the term 5 star when speaking of any of the Battlestation titles.

2nd, I would argue that AE makes it's name with the detail and the complexity of the code. Something that is really lacking in the Battlestation series.

Battlestation is an arcade game intended to entertain minions with little regard for actual history and more geared for those who are wowed by stunning visuals or eye candy. Frankly, AE does not lend itself to this sort of presentation as it would completely alter the presentation of the game, not to mention the intent.

Oh well, maybe better graphics can wait till WITP II: the struggle against people's unrealistic expectations.

If you don't like it, don't play it. Battlestations a 5-star series? Yeah, and "that movie that won't be mentioned" is a good movie also.....[8|]
