Oppinion on view of a game?

[ActionSick]

Hey NG, i'm making a game and i need an opinion on the view of it

Its going to be an instant action game, where you control 1 guy in a limited area and kill enemies.

Here's the possible views i was thinking:

Top view
- Makes the art look a little weird tho, like a bunch of blobs

Isometric View
- Will make me have to draw like a million animations lol

Side View (Dad n Me style)
- Meh i duno, i like the idea but theres a problem about it that i cant think of lol

Platformer View
- Limited space to run, you could only go on one level, then the enemies would stack and stuff

Well give me your opinions on what you think would be best,
thanks

The platformer one would be easiest to make. Also, it's fun to kill a load of enemies in one hit because they're all stacked close to each other.

Side view and Isometric are the best, and probably (along w/ platformer) the most challenging, I personally like the isometric view.

[ActionSick]

yea isometric would pwn all of these for the idea of the game im making, its just i am coding and drawing, so it will take a long ass time lol. Plus im mainly an ASer

I think im going with the dad n me style

[Ansel]

personally, i have always liked sidescroller games the best. They're easier to program and animate, simple to play, easy to understand.

[ActionSick]

yea but the problem is, there will be enemies coming from both sides, in a regular platformer style, this limits the enemies from coming left and right only

if i do dad n me style, they can come around me in all 360 degrees, opening up movement and everything

I reccomend the platformer or dad n me style. They would be thhe best. As for the one you said they would be like blobs, that's boring.

[ActionSick]

well i have already starting drawing from the side view, so thanks everyone, im going with dad n me style!

if anyone cares, ill post some pics here

[Ani-Money]

Please do.

[ghost741]

Yeah. Please Do.

excuse the quality, its a first sketch also, but heres the first stage of a melee character

since you guys are somewhat interested ill explain the game little, its called hostile evolution

you pick either a ranged, melee, or mind class, then fight endless enemies and evolve into higher ages of life (stone age, iron age, dark ages etc)

good idea man! ur smart

[ActionSick]

yay!

[antonyscorner]

as long as you make better animation, as well as make literally ENDLESS amounts of enemies, as well as several backround picturees, you've got a hit. Private message me when ur submission is on the portal! ill give it a 5!

[ActionSick]

yea i will, thats a sketch, and i think itll turn out great! and my idea for backgrounds, when you age up, the ground you are on slowly evolves with more trees n such, then as it gets closer to the space age, it gets more advanced looking with civilization, etc

[ActionSick]

should have some updates soon!

[ActionSick]

lol..

[ShwiggtyShwo]

isometric would be best... but as you said, it would me time consuming

[Blakant]

TOP VIEWs, wif that..
U can make more enemies & it'll look cooler... But dont spoil it by NOT doing the running movieclips :)
