I said to my boss "I think VOXELS are the way to go."
He replied, "People have tried VOXELS for pocket machining before, but octrees made it difficult. They didn''t know where things were, because of recursion"
I stated, "I can use binning! It should work, and be more realistic than Z-maps"
If this was a book, I would have been rejected. Real life allows conversations that start and stop from a long series of talks. Book form, we have to give up that kind of flexibility.
In video games, however, we can simulate a real convesation, much better than a book. We have characters that can point at "whatcha-ma-call-its" and we can have a slow build up over 80 hours of game play. The only catch is, we''d have to get the player involved enough to allow him to remember past conversations. I cannot even remember who was the evil guy in Shining Force 2.
. I try to use both. A little bit of real life, a little bit of "remembered Converations". I''m not sure it works at all, but I think its cool sorry, I guess I just randomly ranted, I know I''m getting somewhere, I don''t know where.
