Cool effect. Nice smoke fx too.

Look very good. I think it could be more subtle, and do faster or a shake when characters touch it

Simple demo for doing basic collisions with distance and radius. The sprites are only representative, so there is not any pixel collision. Use arrow keys to move the green sphere.

A good reference of what we could make with Construct

A good reference:

Are distance/proximity calculations a cheap way for doing collision detections. And How about distance based acuracy?

45� angled (or custom) grids, guides, more snapping objects and aligning tools. More layouting tools in general.

Sorry, I dont adjust it. You need to move mouse far from the window. Try moving the window to the corner of your screen and moving mouse again

Yes, I have tried it before. It is simple solution for control, collision and shadow casting. But The "problem" is attaching the sprites to this objects without rescaling those too. Even if you get this done, I think it is quite tedious to edit a scene in construct, because you don�t see the scaling effect until preview. Even the mouse proiection is changed.

Another quick alternative is to use the "military" projection. We can view this in games like Ultima Online and Nox. The base is a top view. More info here: http://www.compuphase.com/axometr.htm.

But I would like to know a modular solution for doing any kind of parallel projection

Only changed the example of bumpmapping in the wiki, with a head I have modeled. Illumination posibilities are great, but the light object would be improved, with more parameters and normal/bump layer "channel" in objects (with collision mask ).

You can adjust spacing from global variables.
