Hi,

Some progress ?

Ouais

Hyvaa. I'm loving it

3D effect is impressive.

Have you generated X sprites from 3D models or do you actually calculate in real-time the polygons to be displayed, using i.e. some 3D plugin?

Ouais

Thanks, I'll have a look.

Is there something similar for iso 3D?

Ouais

I don't think it's a matter of which tool is used.

It's more about the idea, quality and investment.

But I assume that construct 2 is mainly used by hobbyists and freelancers who don't intend to invest a lot for publishing a great game.

In terms of investment, some other popular engines would be probably a better choice.

ps: how much time have you already spent on this game btw?

Btw, do you do this game as a hobbyist or as a freelancer?

he he, to jest juz bardzo lepiej niz moje polskiego

Prosze piwo!

Hello,

Do you have tools to recommend regarding the design of animated characters/sprites and export them efficiently (without exporting frame by frame or part by part) for using in Construct?

My question concerns both 3D characters and 2D characters.

Ouais

Thanks for your reply.

I'm French, but I stayed/worked in Wroclaw several times and really loved it

Good job with the 3D models. Impressive.

What tool did you use?

I'm using sketchup but I can only do simple models. And it takes me like forever :/

Recently, I made a simple game for my kid and I have used 3D models from the sketchup warehouse and exported 8 frames of each model and used them in Construct (I don't bother with the smoothness for such a simple game. For a prototype I did few years ago in Flash, I used the same technique and exported something like 32 frames and it was acceptable. Of course, more frames the better ), but it took me sooo much time.

I also agree with you regarding the car behaviour and iso 3D. But someone on the forum suggested to use transparent sprites to use with a physics behavior on a virtual 2D map and draw the iso 3D sprites.

I think it might work. I'll make a prototype.

Building the car or physics behavior would be more a pain than a real problem (those behaviors exist, it's just a pity and a waste of time not to be able to use them ).

I have in mind a racing game that I'd like to make.

2D top down would make it so easier, but iso 3D gives a better feeling.

Ouais

Czesc,

Very nice.

I really like it.

How do you handle the iso 3D, especially the collisions?

Transparent sprites on 2D map with physics behavior?

Did you export 16 or 32 views of the gokarts and rotate them depending on the angle?

At last, did you do the artwork yourself?

Graphics are nice.

Ah, and the quadcopter putting back the tires is a great idea

Ouais

Yep, so in your example, the seller doesn't believe that he/she will earn 300$/month for 1 more year?

Otherwise, why would they sell it if it has so much potential.

I had a quick look at the most active apps and they are "full of potential" but the sellers "don't have time to take care of them", "have to focus on different businesses", "working on new projects", etc.

Ouais

Up.

I see only 1 possibility: you see a good game with crappy polishing or missing features and you purchase it just to make it better and sell it with a profit.

But after seeing flippa listings, I'm still wondering...

For sure, the best marketing guys in the world are there

Ouais

Yes lol.

But, thanks for the tip. It's the best way to have the best ROI on an indep game
