Hello everyone on the internet!
I'm currently making a game to further promote my skills! But this is proving to but more difficult then first anticipated...
Well let me tell you a little about the game and then you can work out for yourself how things are working... Ok the game is called Project Gauntlet (Gauntlet for short, this name is going to be changed on the next Beta release =D), its basically a a game that is trying to replicate the old Arcade games that I had as a kid growing up! So far I have had a few problems with working out the bugs like controls and camera angles... but I swear that these are all corrected now =D. When Beta 1.0 was released it used a mod called SMOD 40 as a base, and I can honestly say I have now completely moved away from this and started fresh and new! Here is a game play demo from Beta 1.0 with commentary from me! NOTE: This is from Beta 1.5 and this means this video is using SMOD 40!
So this is kinda what Beta 2.0 feels like, only better =D. It will be out in a few days but already the mod has gotten a fair few comments and external news posted about it!
Interesting video.
I wonder if you are going to use a screen effect to ease the player into the top view. I am talking about a screen effect that acts as an effect to fade between the two views. A fade effect that takes about 5 to 10 frames to 'play'.
It would be nice to see that effect since the other way of switching between the views is happening pretty abrupt.
