  • Hi folks,

    I'm researching a way to develop the AI for NPCs opponents of Bomberman.

    There are some tricks, like avoid the own bombs, also, avoid the adversary bomb, and don't be dumb to stuck on a corner.

    The scenery will have moving tiles like treadmills, quicksand and so on.

    On the time finish, the scenario will start to tighten to the center.

    So, it's just to learn more about AIs. I'm thinking about a custom movement system, checking the four cardinals with points. Pathfind here is something important? or not!? that's the question..

    Assuming the NPCs will need to know where the player is, how is the best approach to make them chase the player with a minimum of strategy? Plus, they should fight each other too...

    If an NPC set a random route and use pathfind to achieve it every 3 seconds, plus, if an enemy cross his line of sight is a start, but it will be so much random. Making pathfind over another NPC/player and the AI necessary to avoid him suicide himself maybe be a good way to go.

    Do you know, have or simple want share something about the Bomberman mechanics? Please, share with us.

  • I don't use any collision detection in the game, and it doesnt matter if its not grid based, you can just use sort by y position ascending.

    This is what I do too..

  • My most recent video/gif, currently working on new enemies and how visibility works in the game.

    Very nice concept. For the light effects, how are you handling it? By the way, awesome to see someone making game boy games =D

  • Speak up! This is my umbra soul guardian project that I've been working on for a while. soon put a video of a gameplay for you. XD

    If you apply a pixelation filter in your game, it can be turned into a nice pixelart game =D

    I'm not so addictive to vector or high quality draws, but I think it's because of my nostalgy or age, anyway, it's looking promissor and very well designed.

  • Thanks for the advice, I'll look into the collisions with more attention, there is a lot of issues dealing with isometric in C2.

    Well, Once Upon An Apocalypse has been stopped for years and today I was looking my old and dusted files, what a good memorie and great effort to make that simple prototype.

    I hate how I leave this game unfinished after it get greenlit, but in that time we were unable to work with Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =162373421).

    Well, zombies and pixelart are two things who stick very well together, so, if I still unemployed for the next weeks, I'll work on it just to relax and test the isometric template as well =]

  • As long as it doesn't use a ton of frames for directions then it's quite doable.

    Does it require pathfinding?

    Hi Newt, I miss your dog avatar =D

    Well, pathfinding will surely be needed and is one of the things I'm worried of =

    But the most important is the shuffling of Z order in areas like towns with NPCs and objects.

    My idea for the player is make a character composed of multiple parts, like head, chest, arms and legs, where I'll work with each one in separated animations to keep the number of necessary frames low and increase the variety of pants, weapons and equipments.

    Important NPCs will have only the most needed animations like walk, run and stand, meanwhile enemies will have the same behavior of the player to attack, for example, plus, they will have some randomization on their body parts.

    This is what can slowdown the game, because a single enemy will have four sprites being shuffled in the Z order everytick.

    To reduce the amount of animations, I'll use only two orientations, diagonal front and back. It's something like my template, but simpler and smaller.

    So, I keep looking forward to read more replies!

  • Hello,

    I'm looking forward to hear what do you think about this idea?

    My goal next year is make a game called Aequilibrium using isometric. By instance, you can see the Deathtrash (https://deathtrashgame.tumblr.com/) artwork and have an idea of what I'm talking about.

    My last isometric game was "Once upon an apocalypse", but I give up it after a leak where the game was played more than 100.000 times, but sold only 30 copies on Google Play, giving me a huge financial loss.

    This time I'll focus on an game with Server side to store the inventory and other things, making a login system to avoid piracy, or, at least making a kickstarter campaign to help fund the development.

    The game will be a survival isometric pixelart game, where you'll be able to survive with realistic system of hunger, thirst, tiredness, cold, wet, calories, etc. The system will be a mix of Long Dark, but more realistic when talking about eating, sleeping, etc.

    The scenario will be on a post-apocalypse world, starting your character in an Space Arc on the Moon, and you'll be able to develop your character and earn skills like Ultima Online to build things and repair it, also, you'll play along a story, learning what happened to the Earth and soon.

    Aequilibrium is an old objective of my life, I have tried to release it in many platforms already, like Comics, Books and Paints, but nothing is completely satisfying my desire to see it as it need to be.

    So, what do you think about this game becoming a C2 project? Or it's better to jump into Unity?
