3D Stealth Game
-
I don't yet know what this is going to be, but it is for sure some kind of 3D game.
Have wanted to make a 3D project for a longer time, but would always shy away from it, because I thought it might be too complicated and all that stuff...
yet once I tried, placing objects in 3D space became much easier than I anticipatedthere's no real concept yet as to gameplay, maybe I'll do some kind of exploration game.
Looking forward to it (though I still need to figure out how to load/unload objects properly, in order to not have some 10000 objects on screen at the same time) -
Woah, this looks good! I hope I can get to this level, barely got a working 3D camera and it's still kinda clunky
-
This looks excellent. I’m quite intrigued by 3D stuff but I worry I’ll “get the flavour” and start sinking thousands of hours into it!

@RodrigoDavy was quite difficult to wrap my head around the camera and character movement, but it works once you figure out the trigonometrics needed
my tip would be to make a rough sketch, outlining what position any angle translates to -
Apart from rotating the camera around the player, I haven’t had to use trigonometry much. Most tutorials on the web have been about vector math, which was new and weird when I first started, but seems to make more sense for a lot of things.
Fuze automatically does ‘frustrum culling’ (not drawing things that the camera’s not pointing towards), which is handy. The fact that the assets are mostly low-polygon models helps with keeping the frame rate up too.

I have a much clearer idea of what this is going to be now (at least hope so); basically a stealth game that takes place in a "canyon", i.e. the area you can see, surrounded by walls.
furthermore, I've introduced a system that splits the map up in various areas, and only a few of them are loaded at a time. Considering the abundance of grass models that will have to be loaded I feel like that was necessary.
Motivation to continue is there! I assume I'm going to start expanding the map now while implementing new gameplay ideas -
Looking really good there :)
