Maybe if you calculate the dead area in a rectangle aside from the diamond you could just count them up.

Idle City Sim 2051 is a free html5 game.

It works on both desktop/laptop and mobile.

It was made using the open source tabageos; Tad's Basic Game Objects, html5/javascript library.

Hi!

I forgot to mention that the game is coded with the following technologies:

• Front end: Vue.js, TypeScript, CodeMirror, Vuetify
• Back end : PHP, Java, Nginx, Docker, Traefik
• Software: VSCode, Gimp, Inkscape, Blender

Do not hesitate if you have any questions or suggestions :)

Ha, nice to hear. I really was just guessing ; )

Sometimes a good guess is a useful thing. ^_^

@aktorsyl  Hi, I found this Godot plugin on Github. It creates normal tilesets from images, but with a few changes it should be able to create isometric tiles too. Since I do not know how your screenshots look like, I'll assume one can just cut a rectangle, make the parts which are not part of…

@Thaumaturge Thank you for the insight

If you want to go old school with pixel art — and it takes a LOT of art — the 1:2:1 or 2:1 approaches were common.

Drawing was done by sprite tiles, and the older hardware was designed for sprite tiles, so it all worked efficiently. Placement of the tiles was a simple grid of diamonds, drawn in pain…

I have a project.

I'm looking to put together a team.

I need an isometric artist and a Liberty BASIC and GDevelop programmer.

hobbyist project with plans to monetise.

@SuperVGA Big thank you for the reply!

Great point on using voxels, it seems that it can be good enough for this type of physics approximation!

if you're serious about this then u need a serious course, grab one from udemy.com is my advice, and u'll be able to ask authors any eventual questions u may have.

Until then ?

Well it's actually been a week but forgot to announce here ?

Town Of Thieves is a turn based crime management game.  Organise your gangs, scout area and properties for intel. Burgle, pickpocket, extort and threaten properties to earn cash, reputation and alter loyalties to take control of th…

Just some thoughts and worries that I've been having lately: [When a hypothetical scenario is wanting to become reality.]

Technically, I've completely abolished my initial story concept for EOTH. Which ended up being a pressure release, in some regards. [Although, there was a conscious decision behind the way it was laid out: simply, had no time to think about it.] Was not a fan of how flat and similar it was t…

Up until recently, I was convinced that using pixel art was the most suitable for this project. Aside from it giving you a unique feel, it also has qualities that a more modern render just cannot compete with: It has that special magic to it, which is really hard to beat. Furthermore, I would av…

There's this one thing that has been bothering me lately: the question of waypoints. Specifically the way they're implemented. [Of course one could argue about their right to exist in the first place, but not today.] If not properly used, they have to potential to become c…

This was a bit of a headache, as I really wanted to do something different with the current combat mechanics. Using only the mouse, two or maybe three buttons, is--to put it simply--boring as hell. It requires little to no effort and provides almost zero engagement (espe…

Even though the core gameplay revolves around action, I still wanted to have that feeling of "Your actions affect the world" kind of vibe. Nothing too crazy, but just enough for you to get a kick out of it. But what do I mean by that? Well . . . EOTH has …

Inventory management is always a chore, and it usually gets worse as the game progresses. For one thing, it always covers up a huge portion of the screen (if not all of it), and pulls you out of the action. Which can be troublesome, when you wish to grab something from the groun…

Been thinking of having a way to personalize your appearance, if you wish to do so. It would be a semi-traditional crafting system, where you could potentially make an item from scratch (from sourcing the materials/mining, all the way up to making them). The main difference would…

Did something unusual yesterday, and went through my box of childhood memories, which I haven't done in a long time. You see, ever since I played my first video game, or held my first gamebook (which at least was like twenty something years ago), I always wanted test my ab…

Oh wow, it does feel like 2000 all over again. Or at least from the perspective of said art. The goal was to come up with a quick concept, for the Necromancer, turn it into reality, whilst trying out some different styles. Wanted to stray off from the traditional path a…

As a small sidetrack, I thought to come up with the basics of this hypothetical ARPG. It follows as such:

[PSA: moved my blogs to a new project]

Been working on the idea of coming up with a hero pose for my hypothetical Necromancer (you can find more info at my twitter account, where I post more often: @theaaronstory). After a sketch or two, I've landed on this de…

After yesterday's tests, I thought to do more research, in order to get closer to my desired 2000s art style. However, under closer inspection, I didn't anticipate to find that apart from some technical aspects (mostly), there's not much to it. Also, I've found out more about how Diablo 2 assets…

Did more testing, and managed to get a bit closer to that 2000's vibe. However, it's still not quite what I was hoping for . . . but it's definitely something, I guess.

Since my last experimental project came to a halt, I thought to satisfy my urge to play with some potential game assets (for an ARPG), after making so many pixel art. Think you'll guess right away where I'm going with this . . .

This is my third test, where I tried out different things/chara…
