Also add a jamming sistem if you try to shoot to fast when reloading and some melee weapons like machete.

Couple things. Defender, Swamp's graphics are just lines and small polygons, aren't they? Still enough to play, but definitely not nearly as much information as we get audibly.

@52, say the magic word.

This topic has been swamped with posts, mostly TitanOfWar, throwing ideas left, center and right. I think it's more excusable because he's at least generally understanding of what he's talking about, but dude, chill on the double and triple posting, please?

@55, at least you're giving ideas in a mostly helpful and constructive way while 52 is just do this do that. Even if he doesn't add in the complexities, ironcheese and TOW has been giving in so much suggestions he should be able to syphin out what works, and what doesn't.

@Defender I would definitely limit the field of view to the audio field limit, pretty much all of what you're suggesting is possible, and yes, it would be done in a similar way to Swamp, but I could add visual effects, which I don't think Swamp has. Obviously I would work on those things after I have a good audio game working with all the important gameplay mechanics in place first.

A dedicated server program would be something far into the future, I just don't want to get too far ahead of myself, would be pointless if the game turned out to be no good.

So going forward, I need to tighten up mouse control and look at adding sensitivity options later on. I build options menus towards the end when I tie everything together. Vertical aiming is the next job, sound wise I was thinking of clicks that change pitch to denote the angle of your aim, as @Defender suggested in post #9?

@58, I'm sure this may be a bit overwelming if done incorrectly, but if done correctly, perhaps this can work. You can have the verticle range tone on the x axis, however the tone would be a different one from the horizontal pitch. Left simulating down, and right being up.

@JayJay
BGT isn't an excuse for a lack of hearing and motion accessibility, only graphics. Look at CP.
@redfox
I really wouldn't want things to be too easy. Improving skill is my favorite part of FPS's... Then again it's also possible to lose your target without a reminder. I like the way Redspot did it in some ways, where you'd get a slowly looping blip when the person was close enough to you.
The problem with that was that you needed to track the person first, which was clunky and didn't make fighting multiple enemies easy.  If you made team members have a different sounding blip and hit sound that could help with confusion though.
Ultimately however, online play is not even a for sure thing yet and won't be until the single player portion is complete anyway.

@Defender, I was using player more as entity, but yeah I see what you mean.

Ok, the beacons were really just a test, mostly for myself, to see if it was possible to navigate to them. You have to bear in mind I've never played an audio game before. You can ignore them, they'll be removed.

@65 The mouse shouldn't rotate endlessly, but maybe yours is more sensitive than mine, might need to introduce some dead space.

@63 Are you able to move towards a beacon at all? The W key moves you forward, the mouse so far only rotates you left and right.
The sounds can be replaced if you can provide a better alternative

Is anyone else having issues with the mouse?

I'm having the same problem as @67, first of all, i can't even hit the enemie and the mouse just turns for no reason, even wen i'm not touching it.

It's 720p but a weird ratio I think. I can't see worth shit, no need in getting a decent TV. I got the thing boxing day for like $75 bucks.

Can you not get the raw information on the movements and compare it to previous info to make that determination... something independent of resolution?

OK, well it is responding now, but rather snappish and altogether ungood.
