Mechscape, First person?
« on: August 02, 2009, 12:45:44 am »
I was just wondering whether or not Mechscape would be in first person.
Any one care to speculate on that?

I think (and hope) it will be ^_^

Maybe the arrows keys will move us around and what not....we can dream!

I think if Mechscape were to be a First Person Game it wouldn't have your Call Of Duty graphics since after all, it is a browser game :)

It could also be abit hard since there will be different races besides humans. :o A Plligi (dunno how to spell it lol) which is a nature creature, would have a strange arm if it were to be first person :P

I think it's definitely a possibility.

In their recent interview with Casualgaming, Henrique Olifiers said:
"...it would be safe to say if you are developing an MMO right now, whatever kind of MMO it is, you could develop it in a browser."

That statement certainly leaves the door wide open for a First Person Game.

BTW, it's spelt 'Pliigi' ;)

Yes, it is possible to create an fps using the Java platform.  Here is an example (a bad one), but proof that that it can be done:

arrow keys are "wasd", they can be used interchangeably.
