Hello All, I've been spending some time over the last couple of months putting together an isometric game engine which I am hoping to use to make a kind of 'sci fi top down shooter'. It is still very much a work in progress and all the graphics are still placeholders (Psionic's Zombie & Guard models mainly, along with some dodgy looking bullets). If you feel like having a look at it then it can be downloaded from here: Early Isometric Demo 14MB (it is very basic at the moment - you can move a player around which a few other 'guard' models follow, pressing the left mouse button spawns some zombie models around the map): Controls - Joystick / Game pad to move, buttons 1,2 to shoot I should have set the default to be keyboard controls so if you want to change to keyboard controls then you will need to do this: open file "inputmap.txt" remove the ";" from in front of the lines which specify keyboard controls (should be fairly obvious) and put a ";" symbol before the lines which specify joystick controls. (then in the game press z or x to shoot and use the cursor keys (arrow keys) to move around. Known issues: The initial spawn point may require you to move around a little to get past your friendly AI units, collision map not accurate yet - units can walk into walls a little way which can look a bit strange ), AI units can get stuck occasionally. Download (14MB - hopefully that is not too large (sorry to any 56k/dial-up people) at: Early Isometric Demo 14MB Screenshot:
