Power Strap - I look at you all the time.

Post by Merowingg »

Have you ever wondered why our power strap is yellow? why not purple, or sea blue?

I understand when it turnes red while we do not very well.

But what if it change colour every, maybe 2000 of power? so the player could subconciously know what is his situation.

And when it turnes blue for example, you have 80.000 of power, and here surprice :3

Our beloved voice, instead of, research completed, or oil resource, then would say something like..

"Very high energy level, consider sharing with friends." or funny. "I advice investing pover"

:hmm:

Jorzi I did realise today that this is one of my craziest and I will say noobiest? Ideas here.

Indeed sound funny, and somehow childish?

But generally maybe there maybe is something in it?

Or the bar could flash for a moment while reachin certain amounts of power?

I don't think it's a bad idea, some visual clues could be good

I was surprised that you used Dragon Ball as for a person who does not know the series it would mean simply nothing. I love the series but I haven't seen all of them.

From yor movie I have finally learned what for Vegeta had this device on his eye. I always have seen it only at some flashes. Also I did not know their powers had measurement scale.

I like very much tcheir characteristic fighting style and some bosses they fought for many parts.

I liked Vegeta for his character and I was delighted when he become good.

I have heard that there was made a movie but a very bad one, not good because I think a well made movie could do miracles.

About the topic. Any other visual clues or indicators would be useful. Many games use them and here we could have them optional.
