Your Isometric World Needs YOU!

Ok, my isometric world is coming on great. Here’s a quick screenshot so I can explain what’s going on:

So I added a few new things, and there’s actually some (very shallow) gameplay aspects now. As seen above, there is a new type of building that is red and looks very evil. That’s the AI building. Basically the idea is that you race against the AI to take over as much land as you can with your buildings, while making the buildings bigger and generating more income in order to make new buildings. See that space rocket? The end goal is to stop that from setting off as those people are on an evil mission to space.

I added some detail at the bottom where there’s that sand colour. That’s probably going to be a beach for decoration. The shading from grass to dirt to sand makes the mainland pop up slightly, giving a nice 3D effect.

That yellow area is the player’s ‘cursor’. Pressing space will build a building in that area, pressing space on an area with an existing building will increase its height.

More to come, good luck everybody!
