Hello,
how need to be the TileSet tiles data please, I got tiles order correct but I don't know if each individual tile should have origin at top-left or ...
does it requires bitswapping ?
Thanks.

ok, its top-left & classic way.

any guides about handling tiles priorities when using isometric mode ?

Got this:


i highlighted plane which is over. but it means using same palette for both planes which sounds bad...
any idea ?

Can you use 2 plans just to separate low and high priority ?
For 3D isometric stuff it seems to be the easiest way to handle it.

yes the highlighted is another plane. will try that thanks.

WIP :



not sure where it'll go. I'll continue posting here.

That looks cool ~~~

An isometric engine? That's something really interesting. BTW in "isometric-3D engine" must be one helpful effect (in a gameplay), where main character "shines" through walls, like in one obscure post-nuclear rpg: http://i52.tinypic.com/2dhwdfo.png

Is it hard to do on Genny?

thanks!
yes with highlight and shadows i will try..
or removing plane B tiles around the player, kind of your screenshot, will see.

Or... Swap tiles around player character with "surround"-tiles with adaptive palette (to wall tiles)? DMA, hello there.

great idea.
for now I'm working a bit on the "bodies", cause I would like to have human mode to walk on the roofs and car mode..
i've put the repo here between: https://github.com/achambriat/megadrive-sme

Fantastic! Keep up the good work. Very promising game is drawing on horizon.

Thanks nitro, its just testing you know

I've added a little component based system, with A/B it dynamically create "a new player"... Performances are not good, will see (bunch of casting and things).

the rom is here : https://github.com/achambriat/megadrive ... er/rom.bin

Nnniice...

Thug's sprite animation is indeed rolling a bit slow, but car is fast. I see you handled 3D-isometric perspective very well.

VDPRam usage for plane tiles looks a bit umoptimized... Maybe not, and I'm wrong...
