Downward: Lost within a 3D labyrinth.

Cool! I think you're the third or fourth person to create a tech demo like this, but noone has made a game out of it yet.

When you rotate or move but the viewport doesn't change because the geometry's the same its rather disorientating. Obviously. But what if you drew four different versions (perspectives) of the floor and ceiling for the different directions? I don't know whether that's been done in any first person dungeon crawler.

Alternatively, there's the option of using transition views like in Arcana for the SNES. Potentially a lot more work, but it looks really cool.

I'd really like to do movement transitions, but that'll be sooooo much more work (mainly dealing with all the extra graphics), so I'll save that for another time.

Well now, this looks a little bit nicer.

Here's the wall texture:



And here's the floor:



I scaled and skewed these to create perspective, which definitely shows in some places. For now I'll leave it but at some point I'd like to touch it up.

Here's the thing in motion:

I am loving this so far.

You've done a pretty good job creating all those perspective graphics! I don't see anything "showing in some places," with the exception that at the edges it's scaled to more than 100%.

Rather than drawing transition tiles, one option would be to do a slide transition between the two viewports. You'd probably want to put a black border between the two viewports, otherwise corners which aren't there would appear.



Wow, it's Dungeon Cards!

I'm not dead. (Yet.)



This OHF is based on a blend between the fonts of Wizards & Warriors 2 and Castlevania 3, with modifications.

Really fancy. Certainly better than using the default, in my opinion. I especially like the capital H. I don't know why, it just looks nice.

That lowercase Z is giving me some "okay, what letter is that!?" issues at first glance (I can figure out what it is in-context with the rest of the word around it, but if I saw it by itself I don't think I would ever interpret it as a Z), but other than that the font looks pretty nice!

That is a beautiful font. Giving me all the Castlevania III vibes.

I had the same reaction to the z, and some of the other letters like s and j are also somewhat over-fancy, but the thing with fonts is that slight over-fanciness really doesn't matter much because you get used to it within a minute and then shouldn't have any trouble reading it. But maybe the z is a bit much.

Just hug the left wall to get out!
