"Perspective" aka "it hurts my brain to even watch the trailer" - a 2d platformer inside a 1st pers

[Funny Hats]

[QUOTE=DoctorSalt;36439352]I was trying to figure how hard it would be to program this, but I don't think it'd be too bad: I think what they did is you allow a 3d perspective to change, then the user 'locks' it into place, it saves the screen into a 2d image then makes a platformer out of that 2d image. The character moves in that 2d space, goes into 3d, rinse repeat.

Ideas?[/QUOTE]

Yeah if I remember right it just uses high a high contrast image to decide or something.

Hence why the surfaces he uses are either a bright blue or orange.

Some Digipen students are also behind a little game series called Portal.

Now it needs to be co-op.

That would be an even bigger hell. One managing the 3d and another managing the 2d?

It could work.

This looks pretty awesome. First thing i noticed, though, was that he jumps like Megaman in the old games.

[Cok Bloker]

the guys jump looks like megaman

[Chris M]

Hey guys it looks like megaman when he jumps.

[t h e]

You know, his jumps resemble those of Megaman! My mind is blown! How come no one mentioned this before?!

[Benata]

Another platformer, oh wait it jumps like megaman.

[droolingPhantasm]

That's fucking sick. I need it.

[comet1337]

hey guys, all he needs is a gun as a hand and he looks just like megaman!

[/we get it, it looks like megaman]

[SkyarFusion]

The jump animations are the same as megaman

[Mysteryspoon]

Those jump animations remind me of kirby 64

[E Quantifier]

Those jump animations remind me of Perspective.

I was playing this shitty game called megadickhead and the animations were totally ripped off from Perspective.

/offtopic

I wonder if there will be enemies in Perspective. Imagine if, while keeping your "megaman" from falling off a platform, you also had to fight enemies in the first-person perspective.

Bump.
