Idea for Wall Mechanic/Combat?

[frank coral]

One thing that I got to thinking about: What if you could push off walls when fighting? I mean even if you back into a wall, Glyde has a (what I assume to be) strong tail so why not push off with it like you might with your arm in real life?

Also if he is flying around, he could land sideways on walls that are straight or such to bounce back at enemies, kind of like Prince of Persia or Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance.

I understand that this would be a big thing because its a mechanic but just wanted to toss it out and see what the devs or others thought.

To be able to dodge to the side, hit a wall and then use it to slam into an enemy or just push off for a burst of speed? Pretty cool in my opinion

ya know... that'd be pretty cool to implement and if done for exploration as well there'd have to be some tweaks made to make it where it can't be used to break out of bounds.

YEAH! Like one thing that I feel that some people forget when they make media/games with other species that have extra limbs is to think about what they do with them.

Like if I was an anthropomorphic dragon like my fursona is, electricity excluded, there would be issues with shirts because of horns, if you drive in a car, you would need to have a tail hole to slip it through because not all species have a thin cat tail they can sit on.

And likewise with games, wings are used for flight and some fighting yeah, but if you have the ability to move all around in 3d space, why couldnt you just jump up to a wall, try and dig claws in and then push off to fall full body onto something

Also if you want to make it not be able to break out of bounds, could be that you can only hold on for a certain amount of time, or some surfaces arent able to be gripped or touched due to material, or a lava flow xD

Hell imagine how funny it would be to have Glyde bouncing around and in his Water form, his claws cant grip and just slip or he hits a wet wall and just pbbb on the ground

right.

Sorry my mind just took this idea and went off the deep end.

Can you believe I am a functioning adult?
