hi, im here with a weird question but is valid since im about to pay a lot of money to a 3d modelers and animators, im starting a project (an Mmo) and i want to know if this can be made, if the answer is yes i need to reestructure all my concept before continue, well enough introduction, question:
Lets say i have a 3d world, whatever you want a city (like GTA), a field (like Zelda) o a dungeon (like… any game there’s a lot of game with dungeons XD) and if i dont want to use 3d characters, but still my character, run, walk, die, etc etc, can be made using sprites, i mean not sprites like low resolution, im taliking about sprites made from scratch on high resolution, sooo, if is possible to configure, a sprite to be viewed "fom behind) and then, if i need to fight a monster, the moves shows, like if i was using a 3d model… i guess many will say is a waste of money trying to use sprites on that way but is an original idea my team have XD.
wel thank you so much for reading and i hope all developers and gods of programming can answer this.
You’re going to need a fairly experienced programmer first and foremost for an MMO in Unity… It can be done, but it’s definitely not a project to tackle for a beginner or even amateur programmer. If you somehow have the money to pay a good programmer salary to do this, then I guess, yes.
I’m not sure what you mean by “viewed from behind”, it’s a 2D image, but you can view it from any angle you want, just like if you cut a shape out of paper and turned it.
I’m worried for you though, the fact that you said you are going to pay a lot of money to modelers and animators… Your grammar and speech patterns make me think you are a young teenager, where exactly are you going to get thousands of dollars from to fund that? And if you do somehow have the money to do that, I would advise against it. I would suggest to start a small project by yourself or with a friend, so you can grasp game making a bit more, before trying to jump right into a huge project like that.
If you are unexperienced as that I would not suggest making an MMO.
But whatever.
I assume you are asking if it is possible to have different views in a 2D space. Of course it is, and I dont think it is that hard.
But I would suggest just using cel-shading graphics for that use, because between 2D with different views and a good cel-shading … theres not much difference.
