There’s a preview for Another Code over at Adventure Gamers. I must admit that I share a lot of Marek’s excitement over this title and can’t wait for it to come out. However, one area that I think he’s not though through, is the idea of point-and-click using the stylus.
Point-and-click on the PC is done through moving the mouse cursor around and then clicking with the mouse button when an object in the background highlights in some way. As Tony Warriner, over at Revolution, pointed out to me, you cannot do this with the stylus as you’d constantly have to sweep the stylus across the screen until you held it over something that was highlighted. Then, because you are already pressing on the screen with the stylus to do the “pointing”, how would you “click”? There could be a way of doing it taking a different approach, but I’ll save that for a different post…
