Oleg Maddox's Room #2 QUESTIONS & REQUESTS TO OLEG ABOUT BOB SOW

[Fireskull]

Hello,


I am the world's leading advocate of including birds in Storm of War. (Hey, there's some serious truth to this!)


Can you include insects such as flies? Remember: Flies are everywhere in real life, except Winter.

What about schools of dolphins, whales, and fish leaping in the ocean?

Leaves dropping from the trees once in a while, and also a few leaves blown by the wind, would definately be realistic. Will your team include this, too?

I can't believe I just read the above posting.

All with their correct damage model, and the correct species (some 200.000 for the British Isles I believe).

Birds would be nice. Especially with possibility of bird strikes.

How many Fps are you willing to sacrifice?

The last time Oleg responded to this thread was in December 2009.

This thread will be locked soon, it will remain up for awhile in hopes that everyone will get the idea.

Busy people don't have time to read through a pile of verbal junk to have a discussion.

Some of you should go back through this thread and review all the nonsense you have posted and ask yourself.... Would I answer that?

This thread will be locked and unsticky in a few days. There will be no more Oleg discussion and request thread for awhile. If you want to make discussion with Oleg make your posting on the weekly updates.

Hi, nearmiss

Yes, I realize the extreme unlikelihood that Oleg Maddox would anwser anyone´s request at this time, but my ideas were worth at least considering:


1) Oleg's team promised attention to excruciating detail in the simulation.

2) If Oleg won't approve of the environmental immersion, then his competition certainly will.


3) Birds really are everywhere in the World War Two scenario.

4) Insects are everywhere and a real visibility hazard to the cockpit of any aircraft at times (Visualize SPLAT!).

5) Seeing creatures swimming and diving in the ocean is very common.

6) An occasional leaf or two dropping from one of the trees or being blown across an airfield once in a great while will not hurt Frames Per Second at all-none. Remember that these are very small objects with easy skins and extremely simple flight/movement models.




If any of these above things were to appear on rare occasion in the simulation, it would hurt FPS very little if done right and in moderation.


To request these things from a team which boasted excruciating attention to detail in Storm of War and who also said that all things are on the table for consideration seems reasonable to me.


Your friend,

Fireskull
