Atari Game Tools: Atari STE game engine - Isometric World
Fifth demo/example using AGT on Atari STE, this time to show that game genres other than shooters can be prototyped with this engine.
While less developed than some of the demos, it does have some unique features. It also uses the colour boosting trick more carefully than the others.
Lots of sprites moving in isometric space, projected onto 2D. Scrolling in isometric space. Map is entirely 2D though. The demo maintains a solid 50hz framerate.
The colour-boosting interlace effect doesn't translate well to YT encoding - bit jerky and flickery. Looks better on hardware.
