Whee! X3.

Glee. n.n

What sorta game?

old school single-player computer role-playing game. Like Fallout, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate and so forth. ^_^

My favorite Kind!

yep, and i'm really looking forward to this one ^^

rembers me of Fallout games...

That's the idea! Minus the apocalypse. ^^

Pretty impressive!

my boyfriend is going to school for this sort of thing. where can we get that program you're using? or is it like.. really expensive?

Torque Game Builder? it's $100. http://www.garagegames.com/developer/torque/t2d/

Note that my art for the game isn't created with Torque Game Builder, it's created with Photoshop.

I take it you're using the Indie Pro licence version? Not sure how one'd go about the sorting issue of an isometric engine with script-only. :)

We do have the Pro license, but the Y-axis iso-style sorting code is already in there, you cam access it through the level builder. :) We also have the Torque Adventure kit which is helping us out a lot.

Did they add it recently? I mean, when I was reading forums a couple of months back it was all "how do I do ISO?" "You can't yet, not without pro."

I should reinstall it now that my new system is up. Hey, who knows, maybe they actually went and fixed the tutorials so you aren't reading documentation mixed through 5 different versions without any notice of which code is which... c.c
I'm not grumpy. Nope, not me. But damnit, those Platformer tutorials are such pants once you get to the more complex parts.

It's fairly recent, with 1.4. I'm a bit unclear as to whether it requires the Torque Adventure Kit, I don't think it does. At any rate, it's depth sorting in the level builder, so it's easy as pie. The tutorials are by no means perfect, there's still a lot of broken code, stuff that's out of date, but they're getting better. It's sorta the indie code, you just keep banging away until stuff starts working. I've been playing with T2D only for a few weeks, so I haven't had to deal with the old beta releases. I've learned more by experimenting and poking at code than by following the tutorials proper.

I'm semi working on a platformer hybrid [or was, until I started working on my exams again so I can graduate and get it over with] and was going through the tutorials for them; I figured, why reinvent hot water and maybe do it wrong when I can learn from the expererience of those that know the ins and outs alredy.
Ahwell. Hopefully someone'll've ironed them out a bit by the time I get back into it. It's a great piece of kit otherwise. :)
