[05.08.26] Expanding on Foundations (Updated)

I will write the following: (the number is the order of the function shown in the video)

  1. TV and music. The main question is: Why is this necessary? What useful function does this have? Answer: There is no benefit from this function. If it’s a decorative function, it’s also debatable. If it could be used as a showcase or advertisement for a business, that’s fine. But it won’t work that way, since there are no mechanics that I described and suggested here Have the function to simply turn on the music on the player.
  2. The quick access wheel. Yes, well, it’s convenient. But I would like to have a balance in the game. Make a shortcut wheel, for example, from a third-person view in manual operation. Otherwise, the side UI and keyboard shortcuts can be removed altogether, since they will no longer be needed.
  3. Mini games. Yes, this is what was needed from the very beginning with the addition of manual control from a third person. It should be a feature, only manually operated by a third person or a first-person. In normal control mode, Zois must do the actions themselves - without mini-games. The point is for the players to choose whether to participate or not. I would like not only a fishing mini-game, but also, for example, cooking, baseball, vending machine, surfing, etc. - there are a lot of options.
  4. Beating, bullying, etc. And why not. :grin: It will be interesting, but I would like it not to be in automatic mode at all or rarely, if Zoi does not have a predisposition to this. I would like it to be controlled by the player.
  5. Physics of the head. It should have been from the very beginning. This is as natural to humans as breathing and speech.
  6. Using IK animation. Yes, yes, and yes again. Finally! It should be unambiguous. But arm-in-arm animation is the least you can do. I really hope that thanks to such principles, you will soon announce the possibility of changing the growth of Zoi. Yes, of course it’s difficult to do this - you’ll have to rework a lot of things, but there is such an opportunity. And I wouldn’t be surprised if a whole new update comes out on this. There is already such a topic with solutions on the forum.

Yes, it’s all interesting. But I didn’t see any changes to the existing flaws and plugs. There are a lot of them, starting from the proximity of their own land to the world, to the transport system - this is bad.
