Hey! Hope you all are doing well
I have started working on a side project to create from zero a tibia-like game but with new technologies to be able to use high quality sprites for outfits and the map and I would like to get feedback before taking a path.
The big problem of making a new game is the Game Art (I'm a developer so the code part is doable for me). Out there are cheap game asset with high quality with top down / isometric perspective but tibia uses a non common one called "Ortho 45 degree perspective" so the only assets that you could find with that perspective on internet are the Tibia's ones (32 / 64px). So I was wondering if you would play Tibia if the outfit and the map would be top-down like this image with sprites like this ?. You would still have floors but the only one you could see is the one you are on and not the ones above / below you like in tibia.
The perfect solution would be to find an artist that can draw tibia-like (ortho 45 degree perspective) game assets with the quality like the image above. Do you know one ?
I left a video with the testing I have been doing. BTW By doing a game with a different perspective I would lose the effect that you see in the tower in the video.
How important is that effect for you to play tibia ?
