Love the movement.

For a more old-school look, why not just render the 3d maze in lower resolution and colour? I did a mock-up and it looked okay.

Thanks, Pishtaco!

Yeah I was thinking about rendering it at x2 pixels. Not sure how the lower color thing would work... like posterizing?

I dunno, I just did it in a paint program. I suppose you could use a pixel shader.

[Ivan]

yeah, I can easily reduce the colors with a pixel shader, but im afraid it might just look like there's something wrong with your video card I'll play around with it tho.

Very attractive! The animation is very nicely done - really "bendy" unllike similar stuff I've tried.

Regarding bit-depth/lighting etc, could you artifically put some colour banding on the lighting without being as harsh on the rest of the colours? Pishtaco's mockup looks good though - real (S?)VGA vibe

[s0]

The animations are absolutely priceless! 
Please do finish this!

[increpare]

I think the walking judder might be a little extreme?

What if you were to apply one or two interesting effects on top of the colour-reduction algorithm?

[FawfulBeans]

That's brilliant!

And that walk is a mighty lovely thing. 

[György Straub]

It does look more auldeschool. And the video is ace. Don't change the walk animation!=D

[Oddball]

The walking animation is brilliant. Please don't change it or tone it down. How are you planning on solving the lack of attack animations? More procedural trickery?

[Ivan]

Yeah I got a few procedural animation ideas I want to try when I get home from work. If they don't work out, I might just have to butcher your sprites a little bit

[Martin 2BAM]

Oh lord, awesomenewss  ! I had a similar Idea but it's really spectacular that someone who's familiar with 3D is giving it a shot!

Please tell me you're also going to use the enviroment tile assets for the floor and walls.

[lowpoly]

the movement animation is hilarious! If you're going for a more comical style, def keep that in there. It would be cool to see that kind of squash and stretch added to attack anims as well.

[Türbo Bröther]

I feel sorry for anyone else using Oryx's sprites because you've just topped any implementation of them with that walking animation without even trying.

[J. R. Hill]

HIPPITY HOP IN MY ROGUELIKES??

I guess he could face left when moving left but that's all the advice I've got.

[zpxlng]

Daaaaamn, this looks so cool.

[Ivan]

Haven't had alot of time to work on this, but here's playing around with some jumping and attacking ideas while I work out proper level generation and baddie AI out on paper.





The attacking animation needs some work but i'm pretty happy with the jumping. You cant really tell from the video, but in 90 frames per second the squash and stretch on it works pretty well.

[Martin 2BAM]

so....awesome...

[s0]

I want to play this
NOW!

[Oddball]

  I really like the way you've done the character movement for this, and that attack animation is looking good too. Can't wait to get my hands on this bad boy.

[Rynen10K]

Haha, so rad!

You'd think the squash-and-stretch would clash with the ultra-lo-res sprites, but it works so damn well! :D
