Hi All, I am a flash developer new to Away3D and 3D game development in general. I am doing market and development research for a game that is similar in graphic layout and camera position (vantage point) as Farmville or say Age of empires. I had a few questions before I really dive in. I was hoping you guys could help.
1. Is Farmville true 3D like Away3D uses? If not what are they doing? Spoofed 3D with 2D mapping? 2. My terrain surface will be hilly with occasional steep mountains. What are some solutions for having a character interact with this type of terrain – say using the SkinExtrude class for the terrain seed? 3. Lastly, I need data to be held by each tile – for example: each tile will hold a value (money). When the character moves over the tile, this value is accessed. I need a way to know when the character has entered the tile then be able to access the tile value. I know this is lot to ask, but it is imperative for me to figure these things out. Thanks, Nathan
