About the Game Style

Hello everybody :)
I just saw Video Blog 10 & 11 and figured some things out.
To start with the dragon:
This unit looks awesome. Well the Chest is slightly too round if you ask me, but the head is just...awesome !
So we got the chance to see the creature ingame, and well, i got some suggestions, i want to share with you guys.
The animation of the Dragon seems fine itself, but the dragon is not "alive".
You can really see that tha animation triggers from: "walking" to "attacking".
And since there is only one attacking animation, it all looks very artificial.
Have you planned on creating 4-5 Animations for the bigger units? Because then, the Dragon could also wave is head from right to left and back again and spitting fire. Or maybe duck onto the ground and then spit this hughe flame directly into the footmen's faces
So that it doenst look like there are animations each after each, but the creature is "living".
Also the walk seems pretty cool in specific situations. But its an mighty creature and it should also be able to walk with his head more high.
And (at least for me ) its difficult to croucht that close to the ground. It must be really exhausting to have the legs bend all the time. So maybe some other walk animation besides the others would be pretty awesome!
Just to note here: i know that this game is in a pretty early stage, but im writing this anyways! :)
To the rest of the ingame scenes (not many by now ), it looks a bit like an
medival Supreme Commander.
What i mean by that is, that the buildings seem not to merge with their sorrounding.
Its like there is ground, and then an 3D model on it. Not like there was an actual building build onto the ground.
Dunno how to say this more precise...
But keep on being awesome!
*sorry for this hughe amout of smileys
greets :)|||:) :) :) :)|||I agree on the dragon's animation and the buildings! <(Ô·ô)>|||We (you) can fix the huge amount of smiley by only using them when they're most appropriate, though. Dragon issues I agree with and have already pointed out and agree with, but not so much with the buildings.|||pHo3n1x|||Kahooli|||Kahooli|||pHo3n1x|||Alligators, Lizards, Gila monsters, Crocodiles, and Komodo dragons (Look it up) all walk in a similar fashion without problem. /Serious
The bulging chest is something of concern though.
btw...
