I'm trying to create a 3D movement game in g-e and... well... I wanted it to kinda be a surprize when it was done, but it's taking a long time, so I decided to let you guys know. The trick is to have a 3D looking sprite that will have a turning animation, and have it turn and move at the same time, but then have a variable for your position on the "z axis" and have the objects around you move faster if their position relative to you is farther. you also need shrinking animations. I found a program that makes spritesheets fast and simple, but it still takes a long time. o yeah, the file size is INSANE!!! =(

please post any additional suggestions, if i like them, i'll score you!

I have already tried 3D ( in a way)

see post viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5630

If you are using different methods I am sure we would all love to see them.. I got stuck about 9/10ths through and decided I needed to learn more about C and GE before continuing, tho I will probably get back to it soon.. if this is the sort of thing you are working on , feel free to use/modify any of my code..

the biggest clue or hint I can give is to create most of your sprites as "round" objects, that way they look the same from any angle, and you don't have to rotate them around the z access, this saves 100's of additional animations.. see my example and you will notice all objects are round (columns, trees, posts etc)

but, if you are working on something different , I can't wait to see it

PS: one of the problem, I had was scaling sprites so I wrote a program for it using GE,

see viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5869

if you have found another program that does this sort of thing, can you let use know what it is ?

I wonder how to make real 3D without any trick...

You can find examples in Game Demos. (Get some script you need from there.)
