(Difference between revisions)

Revision as of 10:36, 14 January 2010

collision detection: mostly 2D (Julie adjusts feet & legs on slopes when standing)
lighting: dynamic, colored
- asteroid fragments, crystals (some), explosions, flamethrower, lightning
particle effects: blowing leaves, explosion debris, fly swarms, settling feathers after giant bird deaths, some weapon effect
physics
- knock asteroid fragments off ledges which break on hitting ground
- sliding doors push Julie
- rope-suspended platforms pivot from Julie's weight
reflection: metallic surfaces, non-translucent glass, many other things
shadows: polygonal
- player character, NPCs, aliens/enemies: horizontal, flat (2D); dynamic
- multiple light source: position adjustment, distance lengthening & shortening
texture
- filtering: bilinear, trilinear
- mapping: mipmapping
- detail/procedural: flamethrower burns
transparency: explosions, fire, ghosts, glass (glasses, health vials, water ampules, windows), hologram (Julie), lens flare, lightning, light shafts, plant/flower petals (some), smoke, steam, wasp wings, water (+ dripping)
lens flare, underwater distortion

water ripples
weather: moving clouds, rain
- clear-cloudy transition
- lightning: strikes bridge (breaking) and tree (burning)
- wind: leaves, tapestries
camera shaking
dust: cave claw hand scraping, Julie (landing & shimmying)
smoke (+ chainsaw, flame sword, Gruff's pipe)
steam (some pipes)
water mist/spray: lawn sprinkler

facial animation
footsteps: various
head looks at pickups and scripted objects
water level affects run speed & jump distance
actions: climb (rope, wall), crouch (+ roll: 4 directions, walk), die (various), grab edge (while jumping or dropping) & horizontal pole (while jumping, + wrap legs around), hug wall (+ sidestep), jump, pick up (by moving over object), place detonator, pull (+ up edges), push, ready/store weapon (2 hands), run, shimmy (horizontal edges/poles), shoot (+ alternate), strafe, swing (rope, monkeybar, sling), turn (crank, handle), vault, walk
- combo weapon actions
- dual wield
clothing/skin: jumpsuit (+ rips & loses pieces); leather stirrups & thong
view: 3rd-person (1st-person via console command)
- pan: dynamic (keyboard- & mouse-controlled); around player: 360° horizontal, 180° vertical

aliens, birds (giant), shglieks (when mad), plants (arrow-shooting, eating, strangling vines)
AI
- shglieks: distract (training area only?), knock unconscious, aggressive when hurt
- birds move out of Julie's way
- cave claw hand can kill NPCs

levels: 24 maps + training
location: Eden (fantasy-futuristic world)
cutscenes: many
linear level progression
outdoor design: somewhat expansive but still claustrophobic
puzzles: find keys/items
hazards: acid, closing sliding doors, gas (plant spores), rocks (falling & rolling), spiked cylinders (rolling)

store and use
pickups: 3D objects
ammo, health vials, gas cans, quest items, shields, Tiki runes, water ampules, weapons
weapons
- axe, explosives (thermal detonator), guns (pistol, shotgun, Uzi), sling (rocks, explosive asteroid fragments, gas spore), swords (chainsaw: requires gas; flame, normal)
- bullet holes
- targeting: automatic and manual
