do you think 2d(sprites)/3d(background)could be done in dark basic?



It looks simple? no character rigging or anything just plain sprites.

not a proposal or anything...I'm just saying it would look fun to play.

finally working on coneptual art skills.

yeah you could do that

EDIT: heh, maybe you'd like more You'd set up the 3d landscape, then place the sprites and scale them to create the illusion of depth.

Tricky, but not impossible.

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.

Why tricky? A sprite is just a textured plane.

The hard part would be finding an artist that can give you that quality of graphics.

There really isn't any point to scale the characters based on distance.

That game has an isometric view.

heh, if you didn't have a isometric view it would because very aparent that your characters have no depth.

Personaly i think the other way around is more practical, painted backdrop and 3D charecters.

If the camera is fixed in isometrix theres little point having the landscape in 3D...just a waste of processing power IMO.

LBA1 (Relentless) is an old game that did this techique well, its also extreamly common on new Gameboy games.

It would probably be easier to do the 3d landscape though.

As far as processing power goes, Most video cards things days are designed to render 3D not 2D.

You might even consider using a 3d landscape, with 3d characters.
Then locking a camera in to a Isometric view.

That saves you from having to make sure all your 2d sprites mesh and look like they are at the right angle compared to your 3d terrain.

I can see using 3D terrain and 3D plains (NOT sprites.) That would allow the characters to walk behind things such as trees and corners. You can't use sprites since they would not play nice with the 3D background.
