Overall Gameflow question.

by StandardFace · in Torque Game Builder · 06/29/2009 (7:29 pm) · 2 replies

Quick question. What is the normal way, or the preferred/best way for game flow from menu screen to game over screen?

Menu -> play game -> game over screen.

I am thinking it is make 3 level files, one would be the menu which when I click a GUI button ends the menu level and loads the game level, and this would work the same way with the game over screen, is this right?

Well... yeah.. that's basically it.

Depending on your game the 'play game' part might be divided into many scenes etc and you might wind up with a replay button that restarts the game level and yo might have a separate scene for loading the game and title screens.. etc

Thank you for the reply. It seemed obvious, but i wasn't sure if the level files were to be strung together in that way.
