Re: Map Function

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: Map Function (megabot)

The map is something that's come up several times. The long and short of it is, it's not technically feasible within Unreal Engine to have a dynamically drawn map like in Marathon.
I am considering the idea of placing static maps in certain areas, but the trick is that a static map [more often than not] will display areas that the player hasn't yet discovered. This would have to be done carefully so that the entire layout of a level isn't necessarily given away.
