And atmos processing is going to become more complicated with inter-z-level interaction.

Native russian reporting in.
I know jack shit about programming, but I aspire to become a translator. Already translated at least a part of one game to russian, translating to english is usually much easier.
I'll be glad to help.
tbh english is my drug. I find myself thinking in english, sometimes speaking to myself in english and it brings great joy to me. I'll be really happy to offer any help I can.

WJohnston wrote:Hey remie, just curious, would it be possible to give lower z levels a pixel offset? Like maybe 16 or 24 or even 32 pixels down. I think it'd be useful to see vertical stretches of walls to give the impression of verticality.

Also, how feasible would it be to see things above you? It'd really help if, when you're in an open room, you can see multiple z levels above you, like balconies. There's a severe disconnect when you can only look down that way.

WJohnston wrote:Hm, if I were to design a station around this, I'd have to make sure to include a pretty huge amount of 3d elements to really help with understanding your surroundings. Balconies and overpasses and whatnot are gonna be very common.

I think this'd be a lot of fun to work with.

A bunch of cunts emerged from the woodworks to bully Remie on a github PR, a lot from outside our community but some from ours. Like it was a little disagreement but then a bunch of people just swooped in with straight up name calling and outright hostility.

Not that I condone what happened, but you opened that can of worms on your own.

this is correct, yes.
My plan is for a little head looking up to slide out onto your UI when you can look up, and slide off again when you can't, when it's enabled it'll instead look straight forward, to indicate you can look back at your normal Z.

Going up and down with items (jetpacks) or abilities (xenos?) will just be action buttons.

Spoiler:

Implement children when?
