LudumData

Field of View experiment by Dreii

[raw]
made by Dreii for LD29 Warm-Up (-)
Was just trying out a new concept I thought of in under two hours, wasn't able to do everything I wanted in it, two hours is quick!

Basically two guards follow patrol routes, and will become alerted of your presence if you are in their view but not behind a wall.

I don't think it's a bug, but rather because you're standing in the cone of vision for even the 1/10th of a second it takes to swing the cone around, you're detected.

I think what's needed to be done next is have the guards change their path when they see you, but as the others said, fix the but first :D

@Riley, Actually it's a bug, unless it rotates almost 180潞 in a 1/10th of a second. http://puu.sh/8fQd6.png
I was trying to follow that guard from behind, and every 1-2 seconds, the exclamation mark icon appeared. And I'm pretty sure his vision cone never touched me.

But hey! Making this in 2 hours is pretty nice, good job!
