Description
Started working on more HUD stuff, and wind.
On foot:
•1234 to select equipment
•Q to quickswap between last selection and current
At helm:
•Shows speed of boat in knots along with direction
•Q to swap between boat speed/direction and wind speed/direction
The wind can change over time, it was just calm in that gif apparently. Still some more work to do on it, and I still haven’t done animations for sails yet. It’s a start though.
awesome!!!
Very nice HUD. :D
I'm wondering, how big are the levels going to be? Is it an open-world? Maybe you could add a small map on the screen that shows where you are. Great work so far, by-the-way. :-)
Right now the horizontal plane is finite, but loops back around on itself. You can travel into the distance as well with each layer being a new map pretty much. The boat you see in the background is a layer you can actually travel to and interact with.
I'm not sure how wide each layer will be eventually, but right now it's 3x the width of the screen.
This looks awesome :D
