      Here is a nice simple 3rd person camera for 3d stuff. Again, it’s not Fuze specific, but it’s easy enough to use. I just basically copypasted (with very slight changes) the ’move character relative to camera position’ bit for my project, and it worked!

        Here’s a fun one if anyone wants to give it a try - how to make shadows and line-of-sight in 2D :)

          That’s a great article! I was actually toying with doing something similar for the game jam, but I wasn’t sure I could finish it in time.

          I will definitely try this out in a future game!

            Love that effect but I scrolled down to the first maths bit and nope.. I'll pass!
            hopefully some people will make some fuze games using it.

              Ever wanted to make an old-school racer like Hang-On or Outrun? Well, you’ll get a good start here: http://www.extentofthejam.com/pseudo/

              EDIT: here it is explained more fully and with more diagrams. If you were put off by the maths in the first one, have a look at this: https://codeincomplete.com/articles/javascript-racer-v1-straight/

                  Another great find, @toxibunny ! After reading the articles, I feel the urge to make an Outrun game!

                  Maybe one day...

                      @waldron very inspiring - like it
                      21:33 "dream no small dreams" "go big or go home" -> additional interpretation: its ok to start many WIPs just because it could be cool ;-)
                      29:02 "a game has a finite amount of resources" -> oh yeah, free-time, length of the night, he suggest to watch the scope and use "modular" principle: re-use wherever possible

                        That sounds like an invitation for me to start yet another WIP. I haven't even posted here about my BurgerFuzion WIP :)

                                      An article about different approaches to AI for your baddies and npcs. Gives a quick overview from the very simplest to stuff I had to skip past to avoid a headache. Good to get you thinking though :)

                                            @Doriphor I tried watching that video, it's 47mins long and by the time it got to 1 min and 9 seconds it was over my head and I had no idea what he was on about. lol
