Multiple isometric "levels"
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2013 7:13 am
Hi folks,
I've been looking into the Isogenic Engine, but haven't found whether or not it is possible* (well, I mean anything is possible, but whether the avenue has already been explored and determined feasible) to have multiple 'levels'.
To give a better idea of what I'm talking about, take a look at 'Gnomoria' (http://store.steampowered.com/app/224500/) - specifically how they have essentially an isometric game that is split up into many (well over 100 I think) levels. So, if you had a pyramid that was 15 levels high, the top would be one tile, then the next level down would be 9 tiles, etc. Looking at level 15 though also shows all of the other levels, down to level 0. A simpler (and older) example would be X-COM (http://lparchive.org/X-COM-UFO-Defense/ ... om331a.gif) where there are multiple levels and you can see/shoot from one to the other.
Sheesh, I feel like I'm confusing myself but am having a terrible time trying to explain this. Anyway, I've been poking at the documentation a bit, but haven't really figured out whether or not it's "possible" to have a few levels going at once. Is there this ability already?
Thanks
