I see what you are saying. I started with the 3D array concept but didn't want to get things too complex. =) The gist would be to use a Tile to have a ground layer(grass, road, caves, etc) then have a layer for objects(treasure chests, etc) I would have say an overworld "level" that would ...

I'm building a tile Engine for a game I'm working on and had a question. I'm looking at having a Tile class and a map class. The map class would be a 2D array of Tiles and the tile class would have information about a "Tile" including an array that would hold the information for each layer...

What does everyone use/recommend to do screen captures for making youtube videos?

I'll probably go with XNA for now as I'd like to play around with some stuff for the XBOX. Unity looks really nice so, I'll probably try it out some more as well. Right now, I'd like to abstract much of the lower level stuff as possible till I get into the swing of things. I'm sure you can do much o...

That's what I was thinking. Unity just seemed to have that "game creator" feel about it all be it much more powerful. So, with Unity I'd basically be adding scripting for my game and my game assets?

Not to hijack the topic but, some "super secret" documents detailing the hardware were mentioned previously. I don't necessarily think they are illegal to have, but you are probably better off being cautious. I say this because I recently did research into homebrew for the NES and found a ...

How complex of a game can you build with Unity? I'm trying to decide which one to start with.

I am getting back into game dev having now successfull fixed my ailing pc. I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on Unity3D. I'm considering either using that or XNA to ease back into deving.

First, let me say I'm not looking for specifics of Falco's engine or anyone else's unless they really want to share, nor am I requesting source code. I would like to work on building a game engine geared toward 2D games and was going to start compiling a list of things that I should probably impleme...
