There is also 3D graphics on 2D style isometric. Back in the isometric era, consumer PCs weren't as powerful as developer machines, so developers made all graphics in 3D and prerendered them in isometric form.

Fun fact: In Death's Door. The "little crow" is actually a 3 and a half meter giant crow, since everything seems to be scaled up in that game. I think they did that to solve shadow issues when the camera is too far away.

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Wow, that's an interesting one 👍

[@DevNoob]

Great as always, Tamara. Keep it up!

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Thank you, I will!

[@calendulaprox2155]

This is a very nice and informative video Tamara, thank you.

[@jmgames6628]

Great video, Tamara! You certainly seem to be carving out a niche in the isometric games space! I liked the bit at the end at the end by the way, it felt like we were seeing your real personality instead of your professional side with the tutorial, not that there's anything wrong with being professional of course. But personally I think you should show more of your personality like that if you can, it made made you seem more relatable and like someone people will care about and want to see do well. Which can be a good thing for a KZbinr of course! The KZbinrs I watch the most are the ones where I almost feel like they're a friend, or someone I could be friends with at least, even if they don't know that I exist haha. Of course there is a danger that you could end up with a stalker or something that way, so it's up to you. I almost forgot to mention, but great job with the editing as well, how long did it take you, if you don't mind me asking?

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Thank you so much for such detailed comment! It really warms my heart to read this. I like the last bit of the video too! I am thinking of posting more of such content soon. I am super glad and excited that you enjoyed it! Also, I wanted to say that I feel that those people who comment and chat with me on Discord are somewhat close to friends. I like chatting with my subs when I have free time. Depends on what you include in editing. Finding materials like video clips of games is a big part of this. I would say that it takes me two days to edit a video on average. Thanks again for commenting!

@@TamaraMakesGames You're welcome! And it's good to hear you'll be posting more stuff like that! Thanks for the info about editing as well, that's good to know.

Excellent video - currently trying to decide on the style for my next project and came across this video!

Thank you! very inspiring.

I managed to make an isometric in my past jam, thanks to your tutorial!, also Merry Christmas to you.

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Wow, so glad to hear this! This is so inspirational to me! Happy holidays to you too! :-)

Can you make videos for isometric game mode in Unreal Engine 5 if possible? like setting up with camera and player movement and also top-down occlusion system?

[@santozard]

Can you make some tutorial to teach us how to make 3d isometric from scratch? Thanks.

[@StillCisTho42]

One of the things I've always wonder with 3d isometric games is if developers delete all the object's faces not facing the camera? just to decrease a little the geometry count

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Yes, I've seen this done. But those back parts are sometimes necessary if an object or the camera can be rotated

[@SolitudeSA]

Interestingly, Transistor only makes use of 2d sprites and assets. It does make use of 3d lighting however. Love your videos by the way.

Hello, I have made a car wheel in blender and baked normal map highpoly to lowpoly it's looks good in blender but when I import in unity normal map doesn't looks good as looks in blender what could be issue. And what is the better way to make normal map in blender for unity or other game engines

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Hi! Unfortunately, I can't help you with this but you can ask in my Discord server. There are a lot of cool gamedevs there. Here is the link - discord.com/invite/dCJBpe2meg

very thx.

amazing

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Thank you!

Crossy Road is a famous mobile game that uses isometric. A good example of non RPG game

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Right, I've played but I must have forgotten about it when making the video. Thanks for reminding me!

[@darrylwolfe7359]

Isometric game is like my dream game. Ive been looking for a course. Do you have a course on Udemy?

[@TamaraMakesGames]

No, I don't have a course. But you can use my tutorials on isometric games. Also, I have a Discord where a lot of people who like such games are gathered. You can chat with us and make games together! :-)

[@malikarslan_6162]

Hi Tamara can you make some video on ue5

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Hi! Unfortunately, I have no experience with it but maybe some time in the future I will explore it and show it on my channel

[@mikeillaoi9198]

I want to make a game exactly like simpsons tapped out not with the simspons obviously different characters but same mechanics and no one has posted any tutorials or how to start something like that could please post a tutorial about it

[@TamaraMakesGames]

Hi, thank you for your suggestion! Could you please tell me what mechanics you're most interested in? Also, I have a farm game tutorial series, you should check it out. Maybe it has something similar to the game you mentioned

[@mikeillaoi9198]

@@TamaraMakesGames I'm trying to figure out what exactly it is if it's 2d with a 3d like image or if it's a 2.5 or straight 3d, if It uses a grid system or beings it's 3d(I'm sure it is) it doesn't need one and, mainly how to set it up to where it's got a timer that collects after so often like it does it simpsons. I'm still new but I've already created a functional settings menu with a slider(haven't figure out how to get the sound on their yet but it works other than that)

[@no_cap2499]

Do you know how to make the camera follow only the players 'z' position at an offset instead of following the players every move? I would like for my player to move left and right freely without the camera following. I only want the camera to follow my players' forward position, kind of like color bump 3d

[@TamaraMakesGames]

It can be achieved by checking if the player has moved on the z axis. Then, neglect the other axes and move the camera to the new position which you get by adding the delta on the z axis.

[@no_cap2499]

@@TamaraMakesGames Thanks, I used this code and its working. public Transform player; public Vector3 offset; void LateUpdate() { if (player.position.y < transform.position.y) { transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, player.position.z) + offset; } } I set offset.z = -2

what is the name of the game at min 7:36?
