Zeta8

Posted by BenRK on Sept. 30, 2006, 2:24 a.m.

I've finaly chosen which story line I will have my RTS go through (I have several), and that is my Zeta8 story, the second story in my 5 part Trinary story arc. I even have an early logo for it!

Well, the engine goes well for the 3D part, except for some major depth issues when viewed from 1 angle. As for an engine screen shot, here is an early screen shot, showing some simple pillars.

The camera is viewing the pillars from an angle, not from the usual perspective the game usualy starts in. A rotated view may seem simple to some, and the rendering of the pillars may also seem easy, but giving them a 3D look is hard. And I can't really show you how they look 3D with this one screen shot. I would have to make an animated gif for you all, so you have to trust me when I say that they look like non-lit 3D cylinders.

Thats it for Game Maker news. Join us again next time, same Game Maker time, same Game Maker channel!
