Hi I am wanting to make an iso/puzzle game and I wanted to know if there are any custom iso movements out there with a jump command. I could probably make one myself but I am sure there are better ones than those I could come up with. The game would basically be a push-object game where you have to push objects about to open doors. Any ideas for the iso movement or the push-item code then please post !
I was actually hoping to do it in TGF because I just can't stand MMF - Can't wait for MMF2. If anyone has any suggestions for a tgf custom iso movement then please help.
You might want a slight different angle on your graphics, as it's really hard to get something to move in the right diagonal directions isometrically on tGF.
Absolutely not. Isometry is an angle much lower than 45 degrees, which is why you get squashed diamond shapes instead of proper diamond shapes. It's what gives it that 3D feel. Without it it looks really quite odd.
30 degrees. There are lots of different isometric styles, but I think it looks best at 30 degrees, which means a square is twice as wide as it is high (e.g. 64x32). This would mean a flat line will go up 1 pixel on the Y axis for every 2 pixels across on the X axis.
Actually I can't remember if it's exactly 30 degrees but its something like that.
Nonono. The one you're showing me is wrong. I meant a lower angle as in further down. Say 45 degrees was like this / and 0 degrees is this _. Isometric graphics should be somewhere inbetween the two. If you're going by that demonstration image, it'd have to be at 50 degrees or higher.
