OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	8th May, 2009 at 00:47:27 - But it would be so much better if you made the character 3D-ish rather than the walls 2D.
0ko Registered 11/01/2009 Points 318	8th May, 2009 at 01:15:11 - not sure that would work out with 360 aiming,plus i dont like drawing characters 4 (or more) times! n/a
UrbanMonk BRING BACK MITCH Registered 07/07/2008 Points 49667	8th May, 2009 at 01:38:42 - It would work with 360 degree aiming, but like you said a lot to draw. n/a

Not necessarily. Oko, take a peek at this article, it may inspire you: http://www.create-games.com/article.asp?id=1933 I agree with Clayton that a 3d-esque figure with those walls would be more attractive than flattening the lot. Edited by Rob Rule It'll all blow over.

OMC What a goofball Registered 21/05/2007 Points 3516	9th May, 2009 at 14:10:22 - No... not unless it were true isometric, which it obviously isn't.
