Beyond Fun: Diving Deep into Airplane Maneuverability in Chasing Stars Online
-
Hello @everyone! Have you ever wondered why you play games? Surely for fun and satisfaction, by solving the problem or interesting gameplay. What we get are called emotions and experiences. But how can developers achieve this? Let's take a look at an example of an airplane flight today.
In recent news, we have mentioned in passing the improvement in maneuverability. But what is maneuverability? What does it consist of? And how can it be improved? By the way, write what you think about it, while we are going onAircraft maneuverability is the ability to change its position in space over a certain period of time. That is, the higher the maneuverability, the more actions can be performed per unit of time. Taking into consideration this and the presence of four classes of aircraft, each has its own unique features: high flight speed, a larger supply of "HP" and "ARMOR" and balance of characteristics. For each class and numerous characteristics with modules, their own characteristics are calculated. The fighter can fly and gain speed faster, its maneuverability is ultimately higher than that of a tank, and the damage done per hit is lower. Here is an illustrative example of realization:
In order for each class to feel like something more than differences in appearance, we work out not only the characteristics, but also the interaction with the camera. Our perception of speed, maneuverability and feel of control depend on the camera. A well-adjusted camera becomes part of the gameplay in a way. And the point is not at all that it allows you to see your aircraft and the surrounding space, but in direct participation in the process. The fact is that only work with perspective and a little bit of visual signs that camera creates massively influence our perception of aircraft speed, its ability to maneuver, evade and aircraft class in general.
And it would seem that we are done. However, besides the camera and its development, we also improve flight characteristics. As you know, the speed and maneuverability of an aircraft is influenced by its engine. We also worked on the change in flight speed depending on the pitch. Therefore, under the maneuverability of aircraft lies the collective operation of many systems, settings and characteristics. And, if you want to win, then you should take these parameters into account in order to effectively maneuver in space and successfully beat your rivals :). Have a great weekend friends! See you soon!
