Every developer out there not doing this in their fantasy RPG needs to get their shit together
If you don’t budget for animations for the little gauntlet when the cursor is idle for a little bit just pack it up and go home, this one’s not coming together.
Similarly, if your RTS has multiple factions and each faction doesn’t have its own distinct mouse cursor you may as well delete the source code
Has any game done this for the last 20 years?
Starcraft 2
There was even an oversight on release that would sometimes change your cursor on loading screen so if you chose random you could know which faction you rolled by the cursor
Fair enough. Has any game done this for the last 15 years?
Have any RTS games with multiple factions come out in the past 15 years?
Other than grey goo
Company of heroes 2 and 3, halo wars 2, dawn of war 2 and 3 (And soon 4), total war warhammer (Also others, but I would grant you that maybe Cao Cao and Liu Bei don’t necessarily need different cursors), Age of Empires 4, the Age of Empires re-releases, Battlefleet Gothic 1 and 2, probably others.
Nice
awww yeah
There are some other reasonably picks, like a sword or a wand, but I agree that a gauntlet is definitely the most fun generally.
also peak web design
I remember the days of the internet when things like custom mouse cursors, cool animations, and very personalized designs were the shit. Nowadays everything has to be minimalistic and generic, and it all looks the same.
It still exists in some corners, just follow the furries and hackers.
