One pops from the center of one node to the center of the next. Once inside a node, it is possible to look in all directions as well as zoom in or out on the image covering the node's interior. Nodes, of course, have been around weblogs for quite some time in adventure games. Usually nodes are linked to cutscene paths. "We're moving via cutscene and now we're looking around in weblogs the node and now we're moving again via cutscene." While there weblogs are a few cutscene transitions in Forever Worlds, most of the transitions are handled as jump cuts. "We're looking around here in a node and, click, now we're looking around there in a node." This can work if it is obvious where "there" is in relation to "here." In Forever Worlds, it often isn't. |

And it was a distant memory once I attempted to move. While the scrolling speed for looking around can be adjusted, blackmoor it tends to be choppy and clumsy. I suspect few players will find it possible to smoothly glance around the landscapes and interiors of Forever Worlds. And though the blackmoor cursor is smart and will indicate a puzzle, a path, an informational popup or a potential inventory item, the cursor is only smart once it stops scrolling. This blackmoor produces a game rhythm of stop, scan, stop, scan. The lushness of the background fades as attention shifts to what the change in the cursor is indicating. Of course, one can't just look around. One has to be able to move. And while movement is certainly possible in Forever Worlds, it is often a puzzle in itself. This has less to do with the Virtools game engine than it does with how the game engine was utilized. |
