You could do both, but with the overhead playing style, you'll
have a complete overview, and a more tactical playstyle.
With behind view, the total sight is gone, and it's 'guessing' who'll
be where. The all famous, o my god what'll happen next style of play.
When the player is able to switch between views in
game, it wont add much to the gameplay.
So when doing both, the viewstyle will have to be set before the
game starts, and not in game. This'll result in 2 different styles .... . Mmm, you've brought me on an idea....
Something else, I'm currently working on a bomberman mod.
The idea came not from this forum, but from some mildy idotic friends
of mine. They've an old version of bomberman, Atomic bomberman
(Interplay, 1995 +/-), and I've a new version of UT (2k4 :P ).
Some time back, I also tried to make a bomberman mod, but got
stuck on movement issues. Now its taken out of the freezer and
put back in action. My version will have the top down view (for now)
and the movement will be keyboard only.
More info coming up ... ... ... someday ... ... ...
The view is done, kinda. Your viewing the player from the top,
just like the Alien Assault mod, and it keeps the player in the
middle of the screen.
I'll do movement next. Finetuning of it all will be done in the end.
