Guest Saulius Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Are the c++ is enough to write a game with Leadwerks Engine? I wrote a similar question already, but I find going on BlitzMax language (I do not know what BlitzMax), and still need to write a script in a language other than just c++ to run the game?

gamecreator Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 You can write games with only C++. You don't need BlitzMax or scripting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saulius Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Is it possible to make 2D Indie games with Leadwerks Engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yeah, like Little Big Planet would be perfect with LE2, since it uses AAA quality rendering. But flatout 2D games make no sense with LE2, and nobody wants to play them anyway.

One more question: But Leadwerks Engine can make it (2D, like a retro games)? Sorry for my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canardia Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Not really, it will be internally all 3D anyway. But like I said 2.5D is perfectly possible. You just need to get over the past and understand that everything today is 3D, recently even 3.5D like with Samsung 3D TVs.

gamecreator Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Yes but with caveats. Last I asked about this (last year) it was possible one of two ways: 1. You control your character, positioning it yourself and doing physics yourself. 2. You use Leadwerk's physics but put an invisible wall behind and in front of the character so it doesn't go toward or away from the screen (so it's locked into 2D). This is because last I checked, the physics engine Leadwerks uses doesn't allow you to lock physics to 2D. This all assumes that you want to use 3D characters/models in your 2D game, like Trine. If you want to use 2D animated graphics/sprites, I'm not sure how good Leadwerks is for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Saulius Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 2.5D graphics like "Little Big Planet" and "Trine" ok for me. sorry two topics in the same place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cassius Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 You can do 2d games with blitzmax and also use it with le for 3d games.

Canardia Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Then just go for Little Big Planet style AAA quality 2.5D games, it's awesome. I admire the realism of those sharp textures. Leadwerks is your best choice for productivity for that.

Josh Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Leadwerks Engine 3 would be perfectly suitable for 2D games, since it includes an OpenGL 1 renderer with very low hardware requirements.

Canardia Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 2D doesn't mean necessarily capability, but also gameplay. You can very well have a AAA 2D game.
