Title: Got a mind twisting idea
Post by: Kingknight on June 25, 2008, 04:34:22 pm: ok i woke up one morning and thought we should make a topdown 2D zelda game where u can change the camera angle to look behind objects

example: ur in a dungeon and u cant find the exit so u have to press a key to look around a wall

edit: couple second paint mockup idea - (http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2119/qmockcags1.png)

Not if you made this with 3D objects and just changed the camera angle.
Use 2.5D and move the camera.

and at the time i just woke up so i wasnt thinking much but i was thinking that it would be a little more challenging (another example: u have to change the camera angle to see a door behind a wall)
plus d and a just adds some 3d concept into it

Word of advice: Never ever ask this question. Or at least, don't get your hopes up. 9 out of 10 times, no one will help you. If someone does get interested, they might just say so and then forget all about it. (Something I'm actually guilty of D:)
