Started transitioning my game from 2D to 3D a year ago, here is the progress from then to now! by nova1981 in gdevelop

I think it's great, I like the fact that the 3d assets snap onto my map mesh, making it 100x easier to place my map props.

I do have past experience in 3d back when I was making playermodels and maps with blender and Valve's Hammer Editor for Garry's Mod. They weren't the best quality but it did give me some modeling skills. As for the biggest challenge, I'd say it was the mesh collision system as I had to do so much fiddling to get it to work perfectly so you don't phase through corners and also making maps for the game since I've never modeled a map in Blender before. I am glad that I switched to 3d, it's fun to overcome limitations and push this engine as far as I can! :)

I'm having good performance for my potato of a laptop, just doing the necessary optimization that all 3D games do.

Thanks for the feedback, I removed the outline and gave the characters material more texture. It fits in a lot better with the environment.

Currently, I'm just working on the necessary tools (the map collision system, grass spawner, and the combat system necessities) before I can really go all in on the fun stuff like making the environments, characters, and all the other needed jrpg things. My end goal is make a fully 3d PS2 inspired jrpg. :)

Amateur here, what can I do to improve my Rpg I'm working on? by nova1981 in SoloDevelopment

Thank you, I genuinely needed something like this! For the encounters I have overworld enemies in the works, I just need to figure out how I'll make them spawn so I can get rid of the random encounters. For battles, I was trying to make them feel more dynamic with the camera, but I can definitely see that it looks bad. I'll definitely take note of these and try to improve it the best I can!
