I thought I’d like to make a Road Rash clone, cause that game was awesome. I was going to style it like road rash 3 and do everything fake 3d style. I wasn’t sure how to do the road in fake 3d though.
\n Then I remembered Away3D, a 3D engine for Flash I was looking at before and decided to give it a try. It’s a pretty complete engine, but Flash performance is still not the greatest so I can’t use all the pretty things like ‘shaders’ or ‘correct z-order rendering’ or really most anything that makes doing a 3d game worthwhile.<\/p>\n

I did get a kind of demo for how it might go though at
\n http:\/\/thegup.com\/samples\/flashy\/lolbike.html<\/a>
\n I also had to learn 3d modeling so my bike is kinda.. jaggy. And the textures didn’t load propery in MilkShape.
\n \"early<\/p>\n

which leads me to maybe making a tron clone .. simple if any textures..<\/p>\n

If I can get billboards working and scaling right then I might actually be able to make a game <\/p>","time":"January 23rd, 2010 10:53 pm","title":"Road Tron Rash \u2013 MiniLD"}
