Final Version
Rapid Prototype
Research
Researched Remnant From The Ashes player controller & capped videos with co-designer.
Movement & Strafing
Strafing
Max Walk Speed
-
Move with WASD or left stick.
-
Camera determines forward-facing direction
-
Camera is controlled by the mouse, or right stick
-
The player begins & ceases walking as soon as the WASD are pressed & or released.
-
-
SD/left right causes the player to strafe - walking slower than the default walk speed.
-
How hard you tilt the left stick determines how fast your character moves.
-
Tilting the left stick causes the player to move at a slower pace.
-
This also applies to strafing.
-
Camera simulates head bob by ‘bouncing’ at a rate determined by the player’s movement speed.
Crouching
-
Crouching:
-
Crouching lowers the camera & switches the player into a crouching state.
-
Crouching while moving causes the player to move slowly - at a SET RATE
-
Crouching move speed is not determined by input sensitivity.
-
Crouching reduces the player’s hit box by half.
Sprinting & Dodge Options
Rolling
-
Player can press a dodge button while moving initiate a roll.
-
Dodging in a direction causes the player to roll.
-
Rolling provides [X] invincibility frames.
Backstepping
-
Dodging without indicating a direction causes a back step (functionally a backwards roll)
-
Back stepping provides [X] invincibility frames.
Sliding
-
Dodging while sprinting causes player to slide. This is a way to quickly get to cover when in a rush.
-
Sliding provides 7 invincibility frames.
-
Sliding reduces the player’s hitbox by 2/3 of the original size.
-
Sliding carries the player as far as a normal dodge roll, but does so in 3/5 the time… so it is much faster!
