Hi,
I recently started game development with Corona SDK.
Studied and learn few basic and no i have a requirement for 2.5D game.
How can we create game like Age Of Empire or famrville or 2.5D game.
I know corona is great engine for 2D game but not sure for 2.5D games.
I didnt find any helping tutorials or references for 2.5D games.
If some one can help me?
If you look up “Throne Wars”, you will see an Age of Empire type game that was built in Corona. If your art is done like this:
You can simply have diamond shaped bases, alternate each row so they light up, draw from top to bottom and you can do it all in 2D. Corona SDK supports 2.5D transforms on objects, but it may be a bit more work to make it do what you want.
You can also consider using a tile engine like Dusk: https://github.com/GymbylCoding/Dusk-Engine/wiki
It uses Tiled to build maps and integrate them into Corona SDK. Tiled supports orthogonal maps. I don’t know if Dukes does or not.
