Lines?

Post by Master ZED »

Taken from my personal file:
Strings? - Against some backgrounds at the right angle (notably the bare white
rooms), there are small black dots that seem to be leaping down from Kite's
back. They could just be lines, but what purpose they could serve, I don't
know.
The first time I noticed this was in Soaring Sky Bounded Abyss (where Lios confronts Kite), but I only thought it was a one-time peculiarity. Now in a similar room (the gate just before Net Slum), they're visible again. What are they? They aren't coming from BlackRose, but she may be slightly too far away to see them if she has them.

u gotta be a good programmer to not screw the graphics from time to time...

never seen that before though =/

the only thing i complain about, is the bad lipsync, and how Kite's screams while running towards morganna/corbinic/phase 8 v.3. its a damn game, you dont scream while playing a game >_>

Okay, I took a closer look by simply zooming the third-person camera on Kite's side, and I can see them. After seeing them on Wiseman as well, I've figured out that the lines are related to character shadows. That would explain why they're even thinner than rare weapon streaks; they were never meant to be seen. So yeah, I guess this could be considered a bug.
