Title: a thought about flight
Post by: steuben on July 10, 2006, 05:35:10 pm: i was thinking about the petrosaurs, and then i had a rather disturbing thought.

will the petrosaurs be, user controllable or will it be done through cut scenes. cause flying from map to map may prove difficult.

An approach that came to my mind was that you could have an "Air Map", spanning over wider regions with lower ground detail, however this would seperate air from ground, making "flight shows" or simple "scouting ahead" impossible. If you ever played Seiken Densetsu 3 (To the point where you get the flamie drum) you will know what I mean with Air Maps
