Constructive criticism from reddit

Closed this issue · 0 comments

Someone posted a thread and then deleted, here is what I remember from reactions:

  • captured stones should go into lids, not cups
    Good point!
  • new stones could be offered in cups
    Added to backlog, needs some extra logic to naturally pour them in.
  • flat mediocre textures, unrealistic lightning
    Shaders are open source, can be tweaked anytime to one's liking.
    I am planning to refocus on graphics later when some gameplay-wise important features are added.
  • number of captured stones should be displayed on HUD
    Yes it should, it just temporarily disappeared during menu redesign.
  • zero use for 3D goban
    Actually I agree, there is not much added value of 3D.
    Nevertheless I preferer to use my goban when flirting with the game of go; I know it may be just me. :-)
  • Tabletop Simulator has been around for long
    I am aware of it, it has very good graphics and physics.
    Have not tried it yet, I do not expect it to support GTP go engines nor to implement go rules.
