As the screenshot clearly indicates, it is actually a 1D game. No 3D at all. :)
No, seriously, it is 3D, but sprite-based. I've seen it in action (well, what is done so far, which isn't much more than a very basic walk-around demo at this point) and it looks nice and old-school. A bit like Xenogears for the PSX did.
I also squeezed another screenshot out of him, in case anyone thinks I am some guy who just registered to pull a prank or something like that (lurked for a bit, but not much of a talker; I just joined because I thought this would be interesting material to some.)
(edit: linkified, for the sake of 56k modems (if any still exist.))
This is not a gameplay image. My friend, RuneLancer ("my friend" is getting old, seeing as he has a name) was toying around with various map design tools and I thought it would be cool enough to put up here. It's part of "debugland," his test map.
Beats me. When it's done. My buddy has a job and a social life (unbecoming of a programmer, really) so AFAIK he only works on it during weeknights. At least, that's when I know he's at home; wether he's too busy downloading porn to code is certainly not my business lol.
I'll see if I can get him to join and talk about it himself. I'm piggy-backing on his normal address at the moment (long story, lol) so I'm not sure if that's a problem for him.
