Have you heard about Isometric Games? and Chrono Trigger?

Hellow again guys.

Before I start post something about Sprites, I will need post about Game View Cameras ‘s Concepts of Parallel Projections. If you are following this blog from the beginning, you must know that I’m developing a game, and this blog is about Electronic Games (Development or not) and about the game that I’m working on. So let’s back to the main subject of this post. Do you know what is an Isometric Game?

In video games, “isometric” refers to some form of parallel projection (commonly, the form of dimetric projection mistakenly referred to as “isometric”) where the viewpoint is rotated slightly to reveal other facets of the game environment than are visible from a top-down perspective or side view, thereby producing a three-dimensional effect. The terms “3/4 perspective”, “2.5D” and “pseudo-3D” are also commonly used.

With the advent of more powerful graphics systems, “isometric” projection is becoming less common, instead being replaced by perspective projection.

Did you understand? No? Maybe? Sure! Dur!?

Well, do you know a game very popular with the name of “Chrono Trigger”?

Is really very common the most of the people thinks Continue reading “Have you heard about Isometric Games? and Chrono Trigger?”

Drawing Mountains

Hellow, yesterday and today I was hand-drawing a “background” for the game. I had a “World”, a story and I was looking for a background image, now I have one, but it’s need a lot of  computer work yet with the painting part, but is ok, I will do it later, you can see the image bellow. 🙂

How I did it? It is not hard at all, but requires a lot of patience, different pencils and a nice blender. 😉

And of course I’m not a pro in hand drawing, so I got a great help from a channel from the youtube that I’m following for a little long time, the TylersArtShack Channel. Well I had the “towers”, a “town” in my mind, but I needed ideas for mountains, cliff and forest. And the tutorial “How to Draw the Mountains in  a Myst” comes in handy and helped me a lot. Thx for “Fireproof Babies” the artist from this tutorial. TylersArtShack Channel have a lot of nice drawing tutorials and of course I recommend it if u wanna start drawin. 🙂

Now my next steps shall be Drawing more characters for the game and tomorrow probabily start with the Sprites Part. 🙂
