Game
Dead Drift


2 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

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

DEAD DRIFT UPDATE!

I'm still working on the missions, and it's been harder than I anticipated. However, I was able to make missions work (even if the UI is a little janky)!
