Not everything (if any) which is written here will be in the final game!

Description

We want to improve the whole interface to the player. Therefore we need a better HUD to give the player the feeling to be in this world and in the body of the main character.


Progress

Deadline Description More Progress

Ideas

HUD

  • some kind of helmet with live support readings
  • semi transparent HUD (maybe with moving and adaptable HUD elements)
  • new cross hair {idea of simple but comfortable}
  • sniper function {crosshair has to be changed and camera behavior}
  • visual markings of important world entities (mission critical stuff) {hard because it most definitely has something to do with OpenGL stuff}
  • visual improvement of radar
  • ability to display and hide HUD elements (show only oxygen reading when not walking in an atmosphere etc.)
  • animations (weapon animations, HUD animations and stuff)
  • status displays in HUD {probably easy just place some text somewhere}

FPS

  • crouch function {Bounding Box is not affected by crouching}
  • probably some changes with the camera and the weapon {recalibrated camera}
  • probably a lean function (to look around corners)
  • weapon change (hand to hand combat (hand, knife, stunner), laser rifle, sniper rifle)



create and add graphics and models
