Surya Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hello there, I'm new to this forum I'm a professional developer (with a bit of experience with Web technologies) who wants to enjoy a(n other) side project and I'm looking for global informations to start with the good tools. I'm looking to create a webgame with the same visualization than Game Corp DX (again not the concept, but the view) The idea is to have a 2D map, some pathfinding (got some experience with that) and a visualization that allows tall objects in the foreground to hide a character behind. I could recreate this from scratch but if something robust exists, I'm not willing to spend time on this. I've some basic experience with 2d canvas creation with CreateJS (Easeljs/TweenJS) Questions: 1. How is the Game Corp DX view called? I think it's isometric but I want to make sure (Is 3d orthographic the same?) 2. Is there any particular engine which could allow me to do this easily (with a lot of people using it if possible) ? I've googled it a bit, found a lot of pure 2d stuff, or total 3d. Found some (like http://craftyjs.com/) but haven't dig into them yet. 3. I tried to develop a project using CreateJS with a friend designer. I had a hard time allowing him to be really efficient (like creating a room with different objects in it) I've seen the Flash professional toolkit for CreateJS but didn't really find a way to use it properly (it was generating quite long js code and I couldn't integrate it as I wanted) Anyone has experience with designers and good organization so you can let them modify directly the UI of the project (and not just exporting png from Photoshop) I would be super interested in advice/experiences there so I can improve the productivity. Thank you very much! Ps: This forum seems awesome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WombatTurkey Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 1) Looks to me like just a orthographic camera with depth illusion sprites? 2) Could do a game like that easily with Phaser 3) Got no experience on this, sorry . A lot of other people on the forum can help with this question though Edit: Welcome to the forums! Surya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milton Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 3/4 perspective. Unity is good for designers, but you get insane html... But maybe you could use it to prototype, and then port to Phaser. Surya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surya Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thank you for those answers! I'll have a closer look at this Phaser this forum seems all about (I found this: http://rotates.org/phaser/iso/ which could help me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
