Isometric Stuff

Posted by WaleedAmer on Aug. 14, 2007, 3:38 a.m.

Well, I decided that I would like to start working on an isometric game. I wanted it to be unique in a way. All I succeeded in making was a buggy platform engine. All you can do is jump. =P There's also a bug where you keep falling without landing. It's starting to really piss me off. >_>

If anybody could help me, pm me, comment, or msn me for variable info. I also made another isometric engine w/o jumping and you are snapped to a grid. <br><img src='http://www.twisterghost.com/tnet/upload/amerup_isoss1.PNG'>This one is the one without jumping.<br><img src='http://www.twisterghost.com/tnet/upload/amerup_isoplatss1.PNG'>This is the platformer.<br>

Questions (Plus one statement. =P)

1. Which one do you think would be better?

2. Do you want a tech demo?

3. Whoever helps me becomes a beta tester for the full game.

I think you need both. I have very little knowledge on Isometric engines, but whoever makes a good Final Fantasy Tactics type engine is a god in my book. I made a demo game where I got good isometric jumping, but no isometric grid or anything, just 8-directional movement with jumping. I had to use differential equations to get the jumping to look parabolic though. I wrote a blog about the procedure but I forgot the name. Search for "diff. eq." or something like that.
