Pretty nice looking throwback RPG from the makers of The Messenger (and apparently a prequel to that game?). I don’t normally care for these types of projects, but a few things in the Kickstarter video caught my attention:
There is dynamic lighting despite the pixel art aesthetic (you can see a brief timelapse from day to night in the trailer).
Environmental navigation is more free form than you’d normally expect for this kind of game, and includes climbing, jumping, and swimming.
This reminds me, it made me incredibly salty that Defcon’s map wasn’t a sphere. It just makes every nuclear missile trajectory arc towards the north!!!
not unless for any origin point (e.g. the north pole), there exists a single opposite point (the south pole) which all constant trajectories must pass through
if you illustrate this on a rectangle then most “straight” paths will end up looking very warped
