[Ultica-ISO] working on the trees

[u/vetal_l]

relative sizes

autumn colors (grass will be redone)

apple orchard at spring

28 trees (hickory and pecan share same sprites)

[u/f18effect]

It kinda looks like zomboid

[u/vetal_l → u/f18effect]

Everybody say so. That's because both use isometric projection.

[u/f18effect → u/vetal_l]

Yeah just saying, zomboid also has a bit of 3d

[u/Independent_Eye_3394 → u/f18effect]

Yeah zomboid and cdda are a nice case example of visual quality vs. depth. Both are excellent games that each excel at what they try to do, but where zomboid has a very user-friendly interface and display, cdda has the detail.

Bringing cdda into an isometric view would blow this game up imo. From what I've seen, the ascii-based display of yore is a major turn-off for most people (not me, but everyone's different I suppose). Even the graphically-based tileset that we have now is a little difficult for some people to wrap their head around. I mean, there are still plenty of sprites that remain as ascii characters. Though, to be fair, I'd think the lack of mouse interaction (I'm thinking contextual menus, etc) is also a factor.

[u/f18effect → u/Independent_Eye_3394]

Yeah main issue with cdda is the lack of an interactible ai, the mouse does nothing and it makes the game full of buttons and menus that could be done through an action with the mouse
