Second Person Shooter (SPS) mode for Tremulous

Tremulous Evil Genius Think Tank
1

In first person you play the game from the perspective of the character you play. In third person, you play the game from the perspective of an outside of the game watching the player you are playing. Second person perspective would be playing the game from the perspective of your opponent’s character. You can only see what your opponent’s character can see, and your opponent can only see what you can see.

In order to do anything meaningful in such a Scond Person Shooter mode, you and your opponent have to see each other, as a result, you and your opponent know the other’s every move, but don’t fully know one’s own moves.

This sounds too tricky to control, especially taking aim.

3

This requires development of a new kind of skill :wink: .

4

It would definetly be trickier but it would help a lot for building strategically built bases. :wink:

5

How???

6

From this perspective you’d see what the enemies can see or can’t see. Or if a buildable can target/attack the enemy or not.

7

Sounds cool imo but we already know sparky & co never finishes anything, genuinely surprised that your gf is still with you sparky.

8

So would it match 2 players together? What happens if a player like myself is matched with some white name riff raff, I wouldn’t be able to see shit because he’d be looking at the floor.

This would be best with flamer vs mara as it would be fucking chaos.

I can’t see this ever working without split screen.
