Design / Re: Things to learn from Xenonauts?
« on: June 27, 2012, 12:24:12 pm »A couple of us have considered something similar, but to do it properly we would need to change our alien and weapon models. As it is, the Taman, Shevaar and Ortnok all have very humanoid hand/arm/eye relationships, and all of the models for alien weapons are pretty similar to human weapons.
Calling it "uncomfortable" for human use would look like a cheap hack unless it was backed up by the appearance of the aliens and weapons in-game.
Not really. "Similar" is not the same as "identical". Even slight differences can have a hefty impact.
Hell, even human-designed chairs for humans can be so different that one kills my back and the other is comfty and cozy.
