Sweet :). Will anything be shown on the billboard? Like in tag maybe the person who's it or something or a giant floating score board?

Brian Cronin said...

The most important thing to be on that billboard is the Nimblebit logo of course...

I am sure we could put scores or other information on the billboard although I am not sure how visible it would be to the player in the heat of the battle. Maybe it is something we can test at some point...

Maybe it could flash or display and image when a certain item/power up becomes available?

Could be kind of cool have ships drop of items or drop of players should they fall off the map.

But i understand what you mean...might be visible from a zoomed/spectator shot but barely if at all visible when you're actually playing.

hah! little ufo's sound like the would be awesome!

Looks pretty small to me :D Also ufo's sounds like a really nice idea.

About that billboard idea, its also in UT2k4. Not sure which map, but it just displays who is the #1 currently, and how many frags he has. It's noticably and handy becauser you don't have to press tab to get the scores.

That is a good idea the more I think about it.

I don't want to display the score board GUI on the screen all the time and in game billboards would be a good place to put the top 3 players score. I doubt we will have time for this in the next video but it is something we will keep in mind for future updates...
