Re: Design it, Drive it : Speedboats
Hello,
I think this could be done quite easily in audio. The design mode could have another mode that is menu based, so you would go up and down to select what you want to adjust, then press enter to go into the adjusting side, then go left and right like a slider, or perhaps type it in. If the boat is panned correctly in stereo while driving, you can see how your parameters effect certain parts of it. In top speed 3 there was a system that let you design cars with text files, and depending on what you set in there your car would either move really fast from left to right and you might crash, or I actually ended up making a car which couldn't move left or right at all so I couldn't take any turn. I'm not entirely sure what we could do to make this a bit more fun, as right now in a game like top speed 3 you did actually race, arcade style, against other cars, but your game is going to be more of a sim, which also has me intrigued because we literally don't
have any sims that you can just mess around with, which is what this is going to be.
I actually think a designer built into the game itself would be awesome, because in top speed 3 we just designed our cars in notepad and we couldn't test them before adding them to the game. I think an in-game designer would feel a lot more mainstream, which is what a lot of folks want in this community, more games that are similar to what sighted people play. It would be amazing if this sim could be designed with both graphics but also audio support, because then it would, effectively, be a game that can be, quite literally, played on equal level by both blind and sighted.
