- stuart78 7y agoWhat I find interesting is looking for creative ways to prioritize the game experience even when the 'official spec' didn't support it. They could have given up by accepting that the spec represented the limit of what could be done, but instead pushed to find a better way. I hadn't put thought into how important that scroll effect is to the game, but if there was a clean wipe between scenes it would have been tremendously distracting. This technique really is essential to the feeling of immersion.
