Leaning Mechanic

[fossil folio]

As a way to enhance stealth, I think it would be cool if HN2 had a leaning mechanic.

This would give the player the ability to properly peak around corners to make sure it's clear to reduce the risk of just walking around a corner and immediately being seen.

this would be cool but having it as q + e wouldnt work (e is the interact key and q is to put away the currently held item)

peak

[vivid sapphire]

agreed

[upbeat flare]

Or Z and X like the HN1 Pre-Alpha

[gleaming aspen]

do some kind of trace to make sure that players cant lean through walls

[upbeat flare]

yea

But how would this play off with a controller?

[vivid sapphire]

good point

[upbeat flare]

PC feature?

[wise lake]

Yeah

Maybe do something like the Amnesia games? Where you have to hold the L1 button and use one of the sticks to signal where you’re leaning?

[wise lake]

How about this, if you move your analog stick twice, while you are close to a wall, you are able to be in leaning mode, and since you are in leaning mode, the camera of the player changes, meaning you would be seeing in everything in the edge, and the only way you can look around is the same way as you would always look around in the game

Ah, completely forgot about that part lol
Edited the thing

Then we would have the problem of Quentin leaning when the player didn't even mean to do that

[wise lake]

Wrong

press left stick to lean left, right stick for right
