Unnamed Project: Top-Down 2D Game

[CytraL]

Currently the game are under development, uses Box2D for physics and 'TMX Parser Lib' for read 'tmx' maps (yep.. I use tiled map editor).

The map can be virtually 'infinite' (clipping and using quadtree), in this video I only spawn 7 A.I Players.. can see that the 'clipping' method doesn't looks bad...
For 'cars' A.I Players.. i'm currently using an a bad "A+ Pathfinding" implementation :S (need be reworked)... with Manhattan heuristic.
The lighting system it's very simple but works pretty good only use a sprite for create the spot light and a 'RenderTexture' for generate the lightmap.
For tile map rendering i'm using textures with size power of two and vertex array.
The Particle system is the same that i made for 'FingerShip' game... but with possibility for define light particles.




Cheers!

GTA 2 !!! 

Looks good so far 

[Ironbell]

Looking good! I like your AI algos and the lighting  . What is the goal of the game? Is it going to be like GTA?

[CytraL]

Yepaa thx!
Yes, i'm trying do something like GTA (without 3D)... but the "history" isn't about mafia... I hope find other textures and not use the GTA stuff  xD

That looks pretty neat!

Maybe you should try searthing on opengameart.org, there's a lot of free cool stuff there.

@Elias Daler: Thx! your project looks really good! and no textures found for "top-down" games...

New video, here the dummy peatons... and start with the sad part of implement "gore". I said that i don't like use GTA textures and now i use the character sprite too :\ ...

[bitano]

I really like how this game is progressing. It already looks quite playable
Keep up the good work!

[AFS]

Yay, GTA 2

Looks impressive as hell, you can even drive cars. Good job, man.

What are you planning to do with it? You said that the story isn't about mafia. Do you have something else in mind?

Also, I noticed that the menus are in spanish. Where are you from?

[CytraL]

@bitano:
Thx!


@AFS:
I'm from Spain (Galician), the history is about "Nintendo-PlayStation-Xbox-PC Master Race" war... you are an linux hero that can stop all these situation... etc.. etc.. this try to be an humoristic history :\
But i don't have any "strong" history defined...

Cheers!

[CytraL]

[CytraL]

Cheers!

[eXpl0it3r]

Looking good!

[CytraL]

eXpl0it3r thx.. XD

I'm back with this project... added a simple weather system...



Used Perlin noise for water puddles/snowdrifts ...

[Elias Daler]

I'm very impressed by your project! Great job!
Can you give us a bit more info about the engine structure? Do you use ECS? Do you use scripting? It will be interesting to read how such complex stuff holds together.
