Hello,
Well, along time no post....
I try to making a game for a DS. And think the best view for my idea is make the view in planometric.
But i not have much references only boktai from gba. I view this game in "sprite challengue" in this forum.
For the moment the game is beetwen isometric/planometric. I think the best option is planometric, but think i will make in isometric that i have more practice etc.. but need more references that how make iluminations, or pixel-arts in this view, or a city make in planometic for view how be the game better and for get a decision of perspective.
And if exist any tutorial of houses or character in planometric, etc...
In google not find good results putting "planometric" :( "gba planometric" "planometric characters", "Games Planometric" etc...
Any have idea of games in planometric, pixel-arts, etc... ¿?
Thanks in advance.

The city level of Earthbound for SNES was planometric. Then there's boktai. There's a small tutorial on SpriteArt.com about planometric too.

planometric is not a real word, so yeah, it will be hard to find results for it. Technically, planometric is just isometric where the angle shared by x and z is 45 degrees to y instead of 30.. I dont know of many games which use this, and honestly cannot find any off the top of my head
I highly recomend this book for anyone planning to work with projections:
http://www.amazon.com/Basic-Technical-Drawing-Student-Workbook/dp/0078457491/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/002-8259644-9564069?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1175981948&sr=8-2
if you really like your compy, you might get bored with all of the information on tools, but there is a lot of important stuff in there that is just as useable in pixel-art as it is anywhere else

Thanks for the reply.
About Earthbound not is this case, have 1 diagonal the plaometric have 2 diagonals... i dont know how explain...
And yes i view the tutorial in the sprite-art.
And thanks fot the link Adarias.
I think i need to practice more, and hope put anything in this forum soon.

No, you misunderstood me. There is one level in Earthbound, the city level, which is planometric, not the whole game...
The city is called fourside :)
Here is the full map:

Ah Sorry Gil!!
Thanks for the map, yes this is planometric :)
-
Glad to be of help. Notice that it looks better in-game, it wasn't meant to be looked at in total...

Hello again...
And any tutorial or form to work in planometric view, or how to make in psp or anything a "circle in 45º" ?
Thanks ins advance.
-
I do believe that "circle in 45" are the same as circles in a non-skewed projection. Do a bit of Googleing for axonometric or planometric and circles and you'll find they seem to claim it's just a regular circle.
-
I look for good examples in "planometric or axonometric" in google and not ahve good results, and minus with circles.
And find things, but only rectangular houses or forms :( .
-
its just a perfect circle. in 1:1 ratio, planometric as you call it, distances are the same vertically as they are horizontally. another thing to keep in mind is that a sphere is a perfect circle from every angle.
so if that's what you need, look no further than the shift key :P
