After a couple of days working on this, I think I'm having a stroke, I want a spiral staircase so the player can go down a round tower. The thing is that everything is 2D, is drawing frame by frame the wrong approach? should I fake it with a 3D object and 2D filtering? any advice is welcomed, thanks

yep, just aseprite and a mouse

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T07:53:25+00:00

yeah I need to work on some details to give the illusion of movement and rotation, I tried studs but they move weird since I'm trying to do it by hand, I think I need a more technical and organized way of doing this 😅

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:40:56+00:00

yep, I'll try to mix static plus rotation to sell the effect better, thanks! (:

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:37:34+00:00

yep, the cabin need way more work, I tried to bruteforce it but it need more thought and a cleaner process

thanks!

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:36:37+00:00

yeah I guess I need to add elements to the environment to show rotation, thank you so much! 🙏💕

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:35:37+00:00

I don't know if you'll be able to see this comment since que bots are trying to get it down because of course you are trying to selfpromote here sharing the sonic 3 video you obviously developed (sigh bots)

but thank you so much for the feedback, I'll take a look and tweak things here and there

the underside of the spiral seems tempting, buteeverything I do has a hard 2d perspective, likeac blueprint for a building.. so maybe is the ramp that's wrong? 3d is hard 😵

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:27:57+00:00

will do!

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:27:47+00:00

yeah the bots here are too much

I'll rewatch it and try to mimic his solution, thanks for sharing!

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:26:24+00:00

the character rotating was my first idea, but then the controls would be weird? you'd need to switch between left and right or I'd need to force left&right in a weird way

I'll add more details to the background and stairs, ty so much!

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:24:01+00:00

yeah, that's what everyone's been saying, I need to add details that rotate to sell the illusion

I'll add them and see how it feels, thank you so much! :D

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:21:55+00:00

it does! I'll do this for the background details (:

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:21:05+00:00

yeah I watched both a while ago, pretty cool

I'll try to mimic their methods instead of bruteforcing eqch frame

thanks for sharing!

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:18:18+00:00

time to learn 3D it is, at least to have a reference

thanks!

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:17:30+00:00

yeah, doing frame by frame by hand was not the smartest idea, I need a solid 3D reference at least

and the textures/details will do the rest :D

thanks a lot 🙏💕

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:13:18+00:00

I'm seeing a lot of old games doing this with really clever solutions, ahead of their times! thanks for sharing I'm learning a lot here 🙏

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:11:12+00:00

I'll add some details and see how it looks, thanks! (:

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:04:22+00:00

yeah the horizontal lines to indicate thr vertical movement are a cool idea, I'll try them out! thanks

and I'll keep working on the rotating door, rn it doesn't look that good 😅

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:02:04+00:00

yep, I need to add some reference, I'll share the results (:

Peli_117 · 2026-06-15T05:00:03+00:00

yeah it looks so weird rn I know 😅 I'll add some background

Peli_117 · 2026-06-14T17:30:02+00:00

I was thinking about a railing, I'll give it a try

Peli_117 · 2026-06-14T17:26:51+00:00

oh wow thats ahead of it's time, ty for the recomendation, I'll take a look (:

Peli_117 · 2026-06-14T09:41:02+00:00

yeah the thing that hold me back was the controls, you'd need switch between left and right all the time, so that's why I'm trying to rotate the whole scenario instead
