The Gameplay
Meta Island supports 2 types of gameplay, third person shooter (TPS) and first person shooter (FPS). The movements are identical, only the position of the camera changes.
The TPS view is the view by default. The camera is located behind the player and follows him as shown in the picture below. By pressing C, the camera change in FPS mode.
These photos are taken from our sandbox, not from the game. The character is skinned differently in the game.
TPS View
The FPS view is from the eyes of the player. It is a more immersive visualization, used in high speed fighting games like Counter Strike for example. If you compare with the previous image it will look like this.
This is a non exhaustive list of the main character movements. There are hundred of animations, to blend from one action to another, or to adjust to a special movements, it is impossible to list them all here. Animation are not only Mocap, but they are also real time created, using hit collisions. So there total amount of animation is in the thousands. For example moving around (walking in all directions) has to work with a weapon in hand or a binocular, or with an object on the shoulders, or when the player knee down.
The photos are not real photo of the game. These are taken in our testing sandbox, with a dummy character.
