Didnt notice the mouse option, still not convinient at all! I see no reason to represent the player on the global map unless you have a specific mechanic for this like spending fuel or time to move on the map, or maybe random encounters

It would be much better to just drag the map around with the mouse and hover cursor over missions, for me your current decision looks like something azuredev would make

I think I was using smart gun, selfguided missles and burning grenade, I was standing next to a tank and it was ready to shoot at me

My goal with the map is to have things feel a bit more immersive as the game goes on. It's very early so there's not much to see on it and the map drawing itself isn't even finished, but eventually I think it'll be a cool thing to use even if it's not as expedient as using the bar menus. I just feel like bars are boring in comparison to a fully fledged overworld, but I understand this can be to the detriment of the player's experience if done wrong.

I had considered adding clicking and dragging as another way to move around the map. I'll see if I can do that instead of moving around with only the cursor.

Hmm, without any extra information I can't really do much to recreate the bug. Do you remember if the error said anything like it occurring in "o_tank" or "o_player", etc? I tried a few times using those weapons and approaching the tanks, but everything seems to be working fine.

Well this is exactly my point

How is it more immersive to supposedly freely roam for hundreads or thousands killometers, spending days on it and receive zero punishment?

Classical global map gives you feeling that you planning your future operation from the headquarters, precisely choosing the time and location, so maybe you should look at this direction?

Also just remembered, do the player transported by a helicopter or something jet-propeled? If former then give it a propeller, overwise add some exhaust please

Dont remember anything about the bug, it occurred only once so maybe it was on my end anyways

I know it's not clear yet, but it's not meant to be literally roaming around thousands of miles. It's supposed to be like a virtual satellite map that you're navigating on some sort of computer system. A lot needs to be added and changed for it to feel like that, but I simply didn't have enough time to do that for this DD.

I will, that's the goal.

Not sure if you were playing with sound off, but it's jet propelled. There's visible exhaust blasting downward when you're landing and it should even destroy the trees when it's low to the ground. 


Ok, I still dont see any bonuses for immersion but maybe your execution will show it

To be honest for me it looked like a helicopter with invisible/lagged propeller, so maybe add some flame to thrusters and even contrails as it flies away?

I'll see what I can do.
