Title: Hud Request - 1.2 or 1.1
Post by: Conzul on May 23, 2010, 05:05:58 pm
There is an increasing trend in mainstream games to not display a health bar or number at all, but rather to siphon color out of the screen until it's all black and white as you are near death (Infamous, Uncharted, Gears of War, etc). This truly is "heads up", because you never need to glance at a bar or number. You get the gist that you need to run or w/e as color leaves. I think this would be awesome in tremulous, especially for aliens - who should feel their health rather than the digitized representation that humans use. I would do it myself, and might if no one else does, but right now I don't have time blah blah blah

I think with the current engine you could to a fade-to-black or e.g. fade-to-red by rendering a fullscreen quad with alpha proportional to your health, but to just filter out the color you'll need an extended engine.

I didn't make any comparison.

Ooh Uncharted 2 I love that game.

Also could be an interesting idea.
