Hi all. I have an idea that may seem obvious in a game like Demigod and may even have been mentioned in the forum. But I will say it anyway. I have always wondered why developers have the same animation no matter whitch level of ability. I find no reasons why ability shouldn't be improved visually when you get level up.
Take, for example, Torch Bearer, his fire ball .. Wouldn't be nice if the Fireboll IV looked more badass/bigger than Fireboll I?
I think it would give the game so much more, it could be so much more fun to play.
However, I hope for a response from the developer team. Of course I also want to hear everyone else what you think about this idea. Is it bad or good? Sincerely, DarkArchangel.
I like the idea, but the developer team doesn't have the budget to fiddle with aesthetics like this now that the game has launched and the company is working on another game. There are important things for them to work on in terms of game mechanics/content, and that's where they'll be allotting their budget. Not toward improving the game's visuals. Nothing against you or the idea (again, I like it), but they don't have the time or budget to work on things like this.
One reason would be the increased cost of production each Demigod would have. They would look "cooler" no doubt, but the novelty wears off too fast to justify the increased cost of production. One would argue that the aesthetical differences might help cue other players in on the current level of that spell, but still, I don't think that benefit justifies the cost.
hey Dark Archangel I completely agree with you. while its not a necessity it would make the game allot more fun to play and more interesting. I am working with some people on a scifi mod of demigod (http://forums.demigodthegame.com/360517 ) I talked to our visual effects artist and he is all for this, he is just as disappointed about demigods lack of visual upgrade as you are. It is also a good indicator for your enemies as to what you are using, which is cool.
Yes, I suspected that the extra cost is all this is about.
The fact remains, however, the game would be much better if they improve abilities visually.
Edit: Maybe we can hope for mod-community to do this in the future.
PistoleerPetrol: It is a awesome mod you are planing to do. I see forward that for sure.
