Ideas

Created on 30th April 2022

• Animated GUI based on state in game (if player gets attacked or resources are low, tiny red lights flash up; could also be used for dramatic effect, like when the player army is chased by a scary monster, the command bar displays an alarm)
  • Inspired by Maelstrom: The Battle for Earth Begins (2007) idle animation of command bar.
• Snow fall shader
  • Inspired by The Settlers Rise of an Empire (2007)
• Simplified Sprites
  • In My Life as a Teenage Robot (2002), when zoomed out character designs get drawn simplified (see Episode with Hydroflaux, when Jenny is hovering in the air)
