SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: HUD (Tycho)

: I did the HUD. Thanks. The health/o2 bars are purposely
: made to go fully transparent when depleted. That's how
: the alpha channel is made (the whole HUD is esentially
: one large alpha with separate items for weapons,
: clips, health etc).

It looks odd when you lose health and not "odd" in a good way.

: As far as incorporating even more info in the HUD...the
: chances are slim. It has already been a daunting task
: trying to fit everything we have in there AND make the
: HUD fit in a 640x480 frame as well as try and operate
: at far less than 1/3 of the screen (which is what
: Marathon did) since it would be shame to cover up that
: much of the screen in such a nice looking game. I
: suppose never say never, but realistically..that HUD
: already holds more info than we thought we could do
: and still be practical and usable.

As for more information. There should be more information on what powerup you are picking up. Another rotating HUD screen (weapons/ammo/netstats/items) or maybe fitting it under "items" would be the simplest way to go.
