Hi Thomas,
I added a simulated third dimension to the Sarah game which happens when she
is flying on her broom.
I imagine she is about 10 feet in the air so the Caretaker, Goblin or Trolls
can't reach her, but the flying Peeves and ghosts can/
Plus there are a few items she can't get to unless on the broom like trap
doors in the ceiling.
The only thing I restrict her from picking up while on the broom are the
coins left on the floor.
All this is done with a few variables rather than creating a third
dimension.
Phil

Hi Damien,
That's another thing people make a mistake about. Shades of doom is
actually a 2d fps not 3d fps because there is no up/down movement in
the game. There is only north, south, east, and west directions, an
x/y axis, which restricts it to a 2d plain. My new fps version of
MOTA will have a true 3d environment with an x, y, and z axis of
movement.
Anyway, like I said I've decided to simplefy the levels somewhat since
I know a lot of people complained about the way Shades of Dooms levels
are laid out. It will be hard enough for some gamers to get use to a
full 3d environment without turning it into a complicated maze as
well.
Smile.

Hi Thomas,
Good approach. I can say from experience that Shades of Doom most
certainly
put me off 3d based games. Technoshock, Shades of Doom, Tank Commander
etc
were all an absolute nightmare for me, especially if you have the
capabilities of turning around, since you need so much precision to get
to
where you need to go that it just is mostly too complicated. But of
course,
I will give the 3d version of your game a go and see if that likes me
enough
to let me get buy. Smile.
Regards,
Damien.
