Post news Report RSS Adding Variety: Trolley

The trolley was added into the game as an additional environmental mechanic. On a technical level, this serves as a basis for other future mobility mechanics and vehicles in general.

This week we made a trolley. While a trolley isn't all that exciting, it is a nice way to get around. It also gives us a lot of power over the pacing of certain events.

Later, we added in a few effects for flair. First we generated a few sparks for when the electricity collided with metal. Then we tossed in a nice, little steam effect to emanate from the trolley. Since the booster isn't animated, we had to be careful with this effect as we didn't want to call attention to the lack of animation.
Finally, we had an npc activate the trolley because we thought it'd be a nice touch.

That's about the size of it really. See yah next week.
