3D city in progress

[lo.th]

hi for this month i'm developp 3d city
is a full 3d city builder game.
i need some feedback about speed, bug, design...
 

Game code run, now i have many work on modelisation/optimization

 

LAUNCH DEMO

 

code and info here : far from finish, final version may run on android.

[GameFilled]

Really nice work. Works smooth on my laptop (which is really crappy). I have problems with running on Android (chrome, 4.0.4, galaxy note). Game stops on "Generating world..."

[lo.th]

thank's i make my test on nexus 7 , world generation is long 
i look that (maybe low size of map for mobile)

 

i find is my transMessage( ab, [ab] ); test

starting modelisation near 50 buildings to do

[Kilombo]

Hey mate. It looks great. And I'm sure it will be a success.

Sugestions:

1- Make sure only the left button draws the roads and buildings. You can use if(event.which==1) {do something. Associated to your event listener.

2- The middle mouse button could rotate the camera when pressed.

 

It looks promising, I'm following this topic. Keep posting news

[lo.th]

thank's for advice i have some work with interface.
i'm in final 3d modelisation, i think finish in 2 day and add all model to game.

[lo.th]

modelisation complete, now i add detail like windows door ...
and is ok for game

[BigRob154]

I really love the minimalistic but artistic style. Keep us updated please.

[lo.th]

Thank's

3d building added to game 

after textures, complete interface and maybe add height terrain  

[boostk]

Absolutely amazing work here.  Very impressive!  Although, I do think you should make it a little easier so that my city doesn't "go broke" quite as fast.  Good luck with finishing up the project, it's coming out excellently.  Keep me in the loop!

[lo.th]

thank's i add height map but it complicates the gameplay.
yes is in very hard mode   i think finish interface tomorrow with level select and many other cool options

[lo.th]

updated add houses and all buildings

[Son of Bryce]

This looks pretty sweet. I couldn't figure out how to pan the camera though. I expected to be able to hold space and click to drag the camera.

[lo.th]

is ok for mouse  left: construct only if tool select,  middle: drag,  right: rotate view.

i add button DRAG MOVE for android or mac

test destroy and burn

[Team_Q]

Neat effect!
Are you just scaling along the Vertial axis as throwing down some sweet particles?

Destroy might look better if your mote style particles explode outward and your smoke style particles are darker. But it's cool!

[lo.th]

no is not scaling is random vertices move.
yes good idea i have to test more possibility of SPE
 

[lo.th]

updated interface with level.

 

final building may look like this
i search idea for commercial logo 

 

[lo.th]

near final version 

[lo.th]

next step : remove bug, particules, day/night, disaster.

100000 peoples  full speed.

Man   that's a very professional looking game. The artwork is so detailed, it looks great

It's pretty cool for a technical demo, but when you destroy a building in the game you could do just the dust clouds and simply let a building sink through the floor. I mean for the sake of performance, because you can't really see the "desintegration" effect very good, especially when it's in the game viewing from far away.

The screenshots look nice but the demo almost crashed my laptop, had to close the tab. Most people I know usually have low fps on three apps, while I usually run at 60 fps, so I think you gotta optimize your code to avoid locking out too many people.

[lo.th]

thank's BdR , yep i wan't add some smoke to factory and implement next destruction only smoke maybe.

 

yes SebastianNette
i have some work on optimize but game work on my android nexus 7.( i remove tree on mobile).
main optimisation is low size of map /2, maybe low to 30fps and low resolution/2; 
what laptop,browser you have ?

you can try this version

http://lo-th.github.io/3d.city/index_low.html

[Sebi]

The low version does load for me, the regular version only if that is the only tab that I have open in chrome.

I guess my 4 GB memory are not enough to run your game and have other tabs open.

While observing the memory, I saw that your game instantly jumps from 30mb to 300 mb memory, then jumps up to 500-650 mb if I generate a heightmap. My laptop won't handle that and I believe that 4 gb memory is quite common for the average user.
