dreamlarp Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Nice and reiner made some nice sets also. I have some being made for my game right now. I had not planned in a true iso look just one like ambardia but this would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exception Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 > -snippy-Matey, "REAL" and "FLUENT" isometric IS literally still a 2D matrix, with the exact same rendering/input calculation as above.Fundamentally speaking, it's still the same x/y calculations as ever. You just render it differently, and transition it differently. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMF Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 y iso at all??? just make tiles that give the feel of it?you dont really need iso movement just upgrade the movement to 8 directional.(Reiners tiles?? WHY? >.> there like looking at nothing , nice detail but too small and boring)anyways iso = bad move just saying o-o just looking at flare tiles(which are 1000000 times better then reiners). there not easy to make like most of us did. you be doing it 3d and rendering images like dat.bored have fun on dis topic ![:)](http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/community/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite dead now, but the gameplay is still good. And I quite like the graphics. Isometric isn't necessarily a bad idea.. I think it can look more interesting than standard top-down 2D graphics.

If you have 8 directions and such it opens up a whole new world and experience. Not only do you add extra movement but now everything has to work with it (Spells, NPCs, items, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tivoilos Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 You'll need to render the scene in a orthographical way depending on the graphic libary your using you might be able to use a preset lib function take opengl for a example they have a glortho function thatll render the screen isometric for you.

Stach Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Isometric is not really all that difficult. You can even make an option to make the map rendering isometrically or normally. Why make two versions of the engine?> You'll need to render the scene in a orthographical way depending on the graphic libary your using you might be able to use a preset lib function take opengl for a example they have a glortho function thatll render the screen isometric for you.You don't need a preset library. Isometric is just rendering the tiles with different x/y values and rotation of the tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions, but this is an official engine. Not sure if we should include this, but since so many people seem to want it…I'd talk to the rest of the team about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
