Isometric Graal

[xXziroXx]

Me and Raelyn have been working on a isometric Graal, and this is what we have so far. Nothing special yet, and the graphics are temporary ones used for testing. I know that its a pixel or 2 wrong, but the new tiles will fix that.


The dark *spot* is the player (no graphic), and you can move in four directions (probably will be increased to 8). It will come in a nice online editor to help staff to develop a world.


Anyways, here´s version 0.24:

woah nice

I don't like the angle of it.

That would be very annoying to play.

Also, anyone can draw things on a screen. Any playable demos (online or otherwise)?

Yes, there is an active working demo, it's not online however, and I don't think it's yet going to be released for the public. As far as the perspective and angle, it's a bit off, I've sent Ziro a new tile format since those, which would be at a better angle, and fit together a little cleaner.

I am going to be producing a full set of tiles over the next week or so though.

The view is a little too overhead. The camera angle pitch should be down a little.

Quite, which is something I've already addressed as I stated above when I mentioned that I redid the format of the tiles themselves.

[ViCtOrEhEhEh]

A very nice and unique idea.

[Draenin]

I could see this as being useful if you're still planning on doing your RTS thing, Raelyn.

[xXziroXx]

I could set up a working demo level online, I´ll post when im done.

That's pretty cool, Ziro.

Neat. But that's not isometric.

Isometric = 30degree angles.

Solution: New tiles!

If I have to repeat myself one more time I am going to **** a brick, the tiles displayed in the screenshot are outdated, they have been replaced by new properly angled tiles.

Stop telling us what we already know.

Might be useful regarding the 30 degree angle. http://www.19.5degs.com/element/832.php (isometric tutorial)
Also, I think that ZAngbandTK's tiles can be used legally but I'm not sure of it.
