Hello everyone
I am hoping this is the correct category.
As you read the title, I would like what is the best type of placement system. Let me elaborate: Minecraft-like-system vs Interpolation-like-system (I have no clue what the official names are). I know these systems vary depending on the game, but I would like to get a sense of your opions. So, if you’d like to pick one type and explain why, that would helpful.
Minecraft-like-system:
Interpolation-like-system:
A poll might be useful in your post.
I personally prefer the second example you’ve shown (interpolation) as you can see the item before you put it down. The animation also makes it looks smooth.
I think you need to think carefully about what players are placing though. The first example may not work as well if there’s a large catalogue of items the player can use (especially if they’re of different sizes).
I could do a poll, but I would like to hear why they chose that.
