I thought it be interesting to attempt a 3d style top down perspective diablo II rpg game with expansive rpg elements. I haven’t stress tested the game engine. How many of you think this would be a interesting project. plus, would the game engine be able to handle a expansive game map.

I am considering UPGE because of its integration with blender modeler.

the question is not even whether UPBGE will pull sprite graphics - it will pull it calmly and work, the question is whether you can create isometric graphics and isometric animation tiles for your units - you will have to bake these tiles using an addon or what is even more difficult manually and th…

this project is just an idea, but if i were to do it, I would just use a top down 3d perspective like Diablo III.

it is clear - in principle, I wrote to you what needs to be done for an isometric game and then you decide whether to do it or assemble a team with which it will be easier to do it - good luck :wink:

that sounds too complicated, I am just going to do a 3d perspective. As for assembling a team, I going to have to do most of the project myself if I ever get past the design phase of it.

How do you plan to create sprite animation tiles? will you use the blender addon - or do it all manually? storyboarding even one action into a 1000x1000 pixel tile for animation is a very tedious process, and if you have a lot of such animations, it’s hard work

I think there is some missunderstanding: The idea of doing a D2 like game is not including the 2D view of it. ( ← pun intended) So… no sprites at all… :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

then it will be a Topdown game but without animated sprites? it won’t look very good - it reminded me of how one guy made a copy of the vampire survival game - without animation sprites - they shake a little like in the original and eventually received a lot of criticism - mainly due to the lack of …

You seems to double missunderstand ??? Not painting 2D sprites nor generating 2D sprites with 3D element… directly using a 3D view… the OP explicitely replied: [image] Max_Newberg: I would just use a top down 3d perspective like Diablo III. and: [image] Max_Newberg: I am just going to…
