The first draft of a 3D scene made out of 2D objects, very rough, very saturated (i was light testing), very much representative of the parallax I wanted to achieve. What do you think?

Read the article for technical details.


My first draft of a fully 3D scene in Godot 4 with only 2D elements. For the background, I'm using a collection of MeshInstances that have a SubViewport as a child, and that SubViewport is the parent of a TileMap that has the tiles you see. MeshInstances then render the viewport as their texture through ViewportTexture.

The character is a CharacterBody3D with Sprite3D rendering a 2D picture, with the camera and a little movement script attached.

The floor tiles will need to be reworked to fit this new perspective shift.

What do you think?

Only a little bit more to go now for the base game.

Current features:

- Miners who go out and mine ores for you (no new shafts yet)

- Selling ores, hiring workers, taking loans.

- If your balance is <0 for 7+ days, you lose.

I played #HollowKnight and got a lot of inspiration from it. A great example of how to work with parallaxes. Did you know that they actually used 3D space to build their scenes? I wonder if I can do the same thing in Godot Engine 4 for OGLS!

This is partially why I wanted to switch to Tilemaps. They are capable of stuff like THIS. Now I'm able to recreate any sort of lighting, any time of day, within any location that I create.

We've got the basics down.

- Camera controls

- Custom tileset for ores & materials

- Custom sprites for 2 worker types

- Mining tiles scripts, VFX, SFX (doesn't work due to input handling)

- Basic office UI

I wrote a list of the worst problems with the build which I'm aiming to fix with this remake.

I decided to tackle the Tiling first. It feels different, but easy and precise. I love it a lot.
