Creatures Gameplay Idea (Click to enlarge)
Creatures Gameplay Idea   Art   Frick | 11/19/2013  log in to like post  9

I'm sure this is probably waay beyond the limits of third party development, but I always thought it would be cool if the Creatures map was comprised of layers which sized creatures and agents accordingly. You could have settings to zoom in on a particular layer or blur the other layers, as I've done in the pic.

I made this just to see if the idea actually made sense, but I think it would be a nice way to give the games a 3D touch without compromising their 2D appeal, so I thought I'd share the idea. :)

Easy: Make it in a 3d program, but force a 2D view and add zoom so you can focus wherever you want to.

This would be excellent. Would add a lot more feel to the game.

yeah you'd have to have really high resolution if you wanted to zoom in and out and such.

Creatures perspective mode? :o

Looks a lot like depth of field. I agree, it is a very nice effect, although it might require quite a lot of processing power.

hehe thanks guys ^_^ I think the Creatures Online is a bit unnecessary when they could have just had something like this. This preserves the customizing scope too. Oh well, maybe someday!
