Thought I would try something a little more advanced than my last effort ....
This time I took advantage of Depth as well

wow Synchromesh that looks incredible, lets hope we get a LOCK CAMERA added to GG soon then we can make some sidescroller games proper.

Excellent job there.... imagine a sidescroller level behind that one you did and you could teleport to it sort of a fake level jumping in sidescroller land....

I'd suggest using invisible walls rather than the gates. So you can give the player more to see. Love this by the way.

Wow great work, it has a very unique feel. All you need now is destructible walls.

The coffee is lovely dark and deep,and I have code to write before I sleep.

Ye the problem there is clipping ..If the players head and shoulders get obscured it automatically zooms in so it was either fall off the edge ( which I constantly did ) or put a fence up at waist height ... anything else even transparent and it doesnt work.

But clipping on and off would be a good idea and solve the issue for a lot of isometric style games as well

oh i didnt even consider the clipping issues sorry about. I actually like how you had some stuff in the foreground, like those pipes to the right. Added some interesting depth.

What happens if you use an invisible wall the same height as the fence?

Great work synchromesh. I have a question (well, several):
1. I suppose the player controls the dark masked soldier?
2. If yes, what are the controls? E.g. are they the wasd keys? But then how do you stop the camera from moving? Maybe with FreezePlayer()?
3. Also, what are the settings of the masked soldier? I have noticed that when you have physics on the MoveForward(e,v) command is very unpredictable. When you turn physics off then you lose collision.
Whereof one cannot speak thereof one must be silent

Loved this game never did finish it even after spending hours/days/weeks/months playing it. Still have it on Amiga emulator (Amiga Forever). Didn't know there was an up-to-date version. Predecessor "AnotherWorld" was not so good. Downloading demo now.

Hi kehagiat
This is really a proof of concept more than anything actually working at the moment .... To make one 100% we still need a few additions ..

Firstly AI running on other than ground levels
Lock the mouse option
Player Directional fire in third person..
And clipping on and off would be nice but not essential ..

Not a lot to make this type of genre 100% possible and we will probably get it so its just holding in their

Another World, nice animation and some epic parts but too tough for me. Flashback was much better and had a real game attached to the great animation. Fade to Black... Hmm, I thought that was a little bit too much a departure from the 2D games. Not played the new version, but I think you can't quite get the same feel in 3D for the game. It is also a much more shooter heavy game which the original really wasn't overall, making Flashback my favourite.

So did you actually make it with a team or work on certain features ?
