GUI: New Inventory in motion (and that's all no leaks)

Please make an experimental build available so we can check out new features, even if they are buggy. I stopped by the game to see what has changed in 4 months and I barely see any difference besides crafting and some plain animals. The game is barely worth playing right now because it’s just a badly optimized, good looking minecraft clone. I’m not trying to be a hater or anything but when a 30 dollar early access game isn’t getting many updates, people wonder if it was even worth it. I hope you’ll consider this.

You might want to check out this thread to see the reasoning behind how they do it.

Kuro means this one https://forum.oortonline.com/t/status-update-project-status/2528

Ha…hahahaha… AHAHAHAHAHAHAH :smiley:

Here’s another gif showing some of the new sending anims (they’re still very work in progress, but you can actually see where the item goes now)

Technically it is the same thread^^ it just didn’t link to the first post^^

i know, it was just to avoid confusion,

So we could get loot from animals in the patch?

I guess. I have no odea what we could use it for though… Will they add hunger or will it simply heal you.

i guess healing, however we DO have a hunger bar. it makes the game feel entirely different cause they release huge clusters of updates, however it also makes the game seem dead from the outside.

Is there a beacon in the Background? There’s a floating line in the backgroun and the landscape is kinda blurry

Ben not sure if you can answer this but i will try anyways, does this mean that the depth of field will apply once you open your inventory?

No difference in the dof implementation in these examples, just happens that it’s focusing in a cool way. (It’s as I’d intend it to look in all situations)

I have 2 suggestions for the Inventory, one being harder than the other.

  1. I think it would be epic if the inventory/stats/menu was visible to other people, so if you have your inventory up people could stand behind you and actually see what you are doing, maybe even have it be slightly transparent, this i think would add a great feeling of the menu’s being a part of the game rather than a disconnect immersion breaking part.

  2. this one i have never seen done before, the ability to fling your menu so other people can see it, most games have an inspect button but if the 1) suggestion is possible to make and will make it into the game then i think it will tie together nicely and allow the users to decide what they want to show when they want to show it, forexample you want to show your inventory to a person facing you you can fling the inventory, same with stats,skills, or other information, an example of it from SAO.

and a picture of what they would see

not sure how hard either of these are to make, but i think it would be a cool and original feature if it doesnt take too much efford to make :smile:

Oh, i had an idea. what if every playable character on oort spawns with or always have equipped a sort of bracelet

The bracelet can absorb and store blocks and items up to a certain amount (explaining inventory and inventory limitations) you can activate it to get a hologram screen up of your inventory (explaining the inventory menu), this would also add a way to logically upgrade your bag capacity so you can carry more items (if you want that) it would also allow my 2 previous suggestions to make sense.

Maybe call it an ancient oort artifact which you just so happened to find, or again if its something you are born with it might indicate a deity of sorts or tie into lore in a myriad of ways.

What do people think?

Sounds awesome except for the point: where did you get that bracelet?^^ (edit. stop editing answers to my questions into your post xD)
At least it’s quite original. I don’t know of a game that has inventory in a bracelet. Maybe Dead Space? But I’m not sure.

All in all the best suggestion so far^^

The mysterious mmo style ‘‘you are the one true savior like 7 million other people’’ XD

or maybe it IS something you are born with, this ties into how players come to life (which have also been discussed, though i cant find the post)

(to be fair, i edited it BEFORE i saw your post) xD

It’s a great idea,but it’s also very similar to Ark survival evolved’s,light arm thing.
