I'm even tempted to make some quick Aeven house models and textures just to see how it would look. =P

Perhaps this will help explain.

Good shiz. I think the OP might just be misunderstanding it because the grass shown looks blocky-ish. But to be fair, if you took something like the trees or the house example above, it would appear to be less blocky. Honestly though, in the case of Sordie's project, I think it would just be easier to have 3-4 different view styles and have a seperate gfx to pull from based on the view angle. At least that way you could make the cliffs have rigid-ish edges and whatnot when you zoom to different angles while still appearing flat regular walls in isometric view. Or you could just do it like Runescape straight up where it looks nearly flat if you aim the camera as high up as it goes.

Anyways, I still would like to see the OP change that image with a "Cartoonish" camera mod. Would just be simpler to build graphics like fiesta/tales of pirates/command and conquer.... theres plenty of different examples I could list, all which do it incredibly well.

I just want to say Ive seen some cool things come out of unity. And i really like the idea of it uaving eo aspects.... but for this to take off I personally feel you will need to step away from eo. Sure get inspired by eo towns anf half to fully non existent lore of eo quests.. but I still think calling it a new endless online is a horrible thing to label your game... and eo should he removed from the name.... Also the website needs a face lift imo.

lewis999, Those pictures actually look like the town houses in Aeven! That'd be really cool to have that style of artwork in the game!!

Thanks, I enjoyed making it. Perhaps some time I'll make more and release them under LGPL. Back on topic:

@OP, Have fun with this project, however far it goes, and remember to program for your own enjoyment. If this goes somewhere, I look forward to seeing it, if not, I hope you learn a lot while trying!

I wish I could access a forum that has a roller-coaster tycoon rendering of an EO I made 8 years ago. Shit was the bomb.

q_q

The picture you showed is how the buildings are going to look like when it is finished. However sorry everyone i kind of got tied up working on a different game called Super Ball World which will be released in the next week or 2. However after i am finished working on Super Ball World i will be getting back to work on Endless Online Reborn.

I really don't understand this whole "let's remake EO" idea anymore.. Majority of people who played EO and who you are attempting to recreate it for have quit EO and will never come back, so what is your target audience? Is it EO players or new players? I mean, you are naming the game "Endless Online Reborn", you seem to be recreating all of the designs of the original game.. I imagine these things will be repulsive for a new player, seeing as you couldn't think of your original ideas and concepts, couldn't think of your own name for the game, couldn't think of your own logo, why would they play a clone instead of the original? What happens when you finish recreating it, will you wait for EO's update to add new content? 

Why not just make your own game instead, build your own community - like EO has. I don't see EO as exact clone of Dark Ages, but I see Dark Ages as inspiration for EO. Why don't you just take inspiration from EO, though at this day and age it's a terrible inspiration, but instead of placing buildings in Aveon the same way they're placed in Aeven, make your own design for a town but keep like.. the theatre house idea from EO (I dunno). 

But hey I could be wrong, seeing as some recent projects that are basically high-res version of some old games, seem to be really successful, maybe this actually is the best idea. I just know even as a ex-EO player, I won't be trying it out. I wish all the best for your project however!

 Didn't you basically remake EO? lmao

"couldn't think of your own name for the game, couldn't think of your own logo, why would they play a clone instead of the original?"

Stava's EO?

I think you're forgetting this isn't a private server, it might look the similar to EO but the 3D will give it a whole new feel.

I'm not sure if you really believe my private server is a remake of EO.. Or you're just joking with me?

I agree with stava. The name isnt unique and the logo should be changed Im however not so critical with my text... lol I do feel if he took eo out of the title and design of the webpage it would be alot better with drawing in new players.

I could always add in oculas rift support. Since there is addons for it in unity. However i am just creating Endless Online Reborn for the fun of it and nothing else. It does not bother me if anybody plays it or not. I am just creating it for fun. If it was not for fun and from a inspiration of a old game that i enjoyed. Than i would name it something else and charge money for people to play it. However i do have other games that are being created and they are not free games.
