Yep I was really wanting to make an update video, but I noticed the comment in the patch notes, so I'll be patient. The overheat sound effects are just a bit too intrusive, I kept finding myself with both weapons overheating, and also sitting with a missile lock tone just waiting for things to cool off. In general the sound mix seems off to be honest, it seems to have lost a lot of low end rumble, perhaps it's the new cannon sound? I'll try and quantify that statement a bit more lucidly if I get a chance to look at it tonight.

Hey dudes -- yeah without context that image is kind of dumb. I was working on the controller map menu and decided to take a few minutes and add goofy wiggle support for the controller model. Turns out it's actually useful to inspect the controls, even if I didn't originally consider it like that. This menu was implemented because it very quickly tells players what they can do in the game. It's a really cost-effective way of teaching them until I can spend time finishing the real tutorial mission(s) (which are notorious time-sinks on every project). I am working on Starmap generation and unit placement for it at the moment. I used a minimal spanning tree algorithm for the first pass, but it doesn't provide enough choices or links, so I'm modifying that as best I can. Hold me. Edit: As with most of these algorithms, I have no idea they even exist until I google for stuff like, "How to link random points or nodes." I love the internet.

I'm now actually a little surprised that nobody's made a controller setup screen that lets you control something on it... but not very since UI is often a get-it-done sort of process.

I think you're right about it being get-it-done, but I also think they normally just use 2D elements. Starfighter is super geared around putting UI geometry out in space anyways, so it was easier to make it readable/working like this. Anyone remember Riddick's crazy UI? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwNok2lj4xs This is still amazing to me.

Just window dressing for all the usual stuff, but still cool. In a lot of stuff there's a pretty strong line between menu world and game world, which is probably a big reason why. Obviously you don't have that problem (would it be much of a reach to make that ship in the gif controllable, instead of the controller?), but that requires a design decision that probably happens long before anybody is thinking about main menu screens. But I'm now thinking about Assassin's Creed and their white room during loading; you'd think it wouldn't be too terrible to make that available on the setup screen. (Who am I kidding, it would be terrible.)

This isn't quite the same thing, but BioShock Infinite's graphics settings screen had a dude sitting there getting his shoes polished, and as you changed the graphics settings he and the scene would update in real time, so you could see what the different graphics options looked like. That was cool.

Butcher Bay is a legit great game. It's not even very long, so you really should give it a run through. It's without a doubt the best piece of the Riddick franchise.

Butcher Bay is a rare case where the game is arguably better than the movies it's based on.

TychoCelchuuu posted:Which would be great if the menu didn't gray that out whenever you go to the graphics options and also Dota 2 doesn't have this nor does Team Fortress 2 or Day of Defeat Source or Counterstrike Global Offensive. But yeah that might be the reason. Bioshock does it much slicker though because you don't have to it "apply" either.  ). I like it and I wish more games did it.
