I’ve changed the header to something more… generic. Trust me. I’ll change it back later.
Also, I’ve disabled ratings since the game’s incomplete at the moment. …and trust me, it’s coming. I’m working on the last few levels. To keep you satisfied, though, I’ll try to give some updates as to how it’s going here and there.
…let’s start with a new screenshot, shall we?
Next up
Okay, so I'm doing something either crafty or questionable: drawing the objects with Draw GUI.
It works, doesn't it?
Dang it. I got the math right.
The real trick now is to optimize it. It's easier to do since it's technically all 2D.
Part one of my zany scheme for a new project worked.
Using two Views, I can draw one squished, rotatable View as a texture, meaning I can use tiles for an isometric perspective.
Now, the tricky part is where everything looks like a pop-up book.
The character and movement tests are going well, but...
OH. THAT's what Draw GUI does. It's not crunchy.
Then again, I thought that drawing a view to a surface would work the way I expected, but it ain't.
Here. Just to give you an idea as to what I'm going for.
The character and GFX are temporary, but they help me realize what I want to do with the engine.
On one hand, I'm getting there. On another hand, "No, I'm not."
Then again, I probably forgot something important about layering the old-fashioned way, and something about using a view as a texture.
The First Two Bosses
It took a while, but I got rotating flat sprites going.
Technically, it's a polygon, but it works.
If I were to do sprite-stacking, I have a basis, but my primary use for this is rotating attack animations.
The floor's movement, being a view drawn onto a surface, is still one frame behind.
However, I figured it's more efficient to draw walls separately than to use blocks for indoor segments. They can stretch and keep doing the depth math accurately.
Updated HUD, HP system, and other collectibles! (including the bunnies)
