Game Development: Salem & Haven

[Procne]

Just because there are cliffs it doesn't mean there will be a z-axis, the world could be logically flat with the cliffs simply being ground that's displayed a bit differently and needing special skills to cross.

/me points at the old-school shooters, Doom, Quake, etc.

/me points at almost every game using height maps, including WoW, black and white, Wurm, Morrowind, Oblivion, almost all RTS games and hundreds more

Doom might have used height maps or something similar, but I'm pretty sure quake was real 3d

Anyway, there are many ways around those limitations.

Salem will obviously use height map as well

Salem is 3D. Doom was not really 3D but 2,5D.

I was making an example of the (many of them early) 3D games that were functionally 2D in map design and what one could expect to see. The details, of course, will be much better than anything that was displayed in Doom or even Quake.

So I read on FB that Salem has horses now. Are they transportation only, or is there mounted combat already?

You DO understand what "free to play" means, right? Besides, it's an expression. Nobody really gives their right arm for things, either, but people say it all the time.

Heh, I have even seen WoW commercials saying "play for free" meaning "take 7 days free trial with 20 level limit".
But hey, you CAN play for free, right?
