Dead Drift


3 years ago

I have been studying to change the game's perspective and it looks like it's going to be a good idea!

#pixelart #gamedev #retro #indiedev


Initially, my idea for this game was to use a top-down perspective, with isometric 8 angles car and other sprites. However, after experimenting a bit, it seems that going full bird's eye view is the way. All movement is going to look a lot smoother (I can rotate all sprites in all 360 degrees) AND I get to use Construct's Z Elevation parameter for objects, which will produce a nice "fake 3d" effect.

In the first image I'm showing how I'm slicing the objects. There are two layers, the top and the bottom one. The former is configured with a larger Z Elevation parameter than the latter.

This produces the "faux 3d" effect that appears in the second image. Pay attention to the car's top, and how it seems "higher" than its bottom.

I'm going to change the game's headquarters (which the player needs to defend) and also the enemy sprites, and hopefully I'll have something for you folks to see soon!

See ya

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?

It's coming, folks!!! Anyone else excited???

NEW UI PLANNING!

Since the beginning of this project, I've done its UI in a somewhat haphazard way. Now it's time to get some things right, so I'm planning to fix some things about its user interface.
