first version was using a part of this tileset !
(thanks to kenney.nl of course, sorry there are no credits in this alpha version)
but my goal is to use no image for rendering (or just as an option)

z support wll coming soon (after some performance tweaks)

thanks micha and you (and others) for trying this release !

EDIT @ monsieur_h : i don't have any screen recorder nor online video posting account so... i post a screenshot :p

This is relevant to my interest, is asking to much to have you post a video? I'm not always on a computer with löve, and I can't wait to see that !

kinda awesome,
do you plan to let the player move freely ? (without grid restriction)

I will try to implement this possibility near the end of the project, when i will have finished the whole isometric rendering engine because my competences in Lua are far too limited to maintain a non grid-locked world. if someone helps me with collision i will maybe add this free move feature early...

I finally took time to try it. Very impressive, and you're iterating fast. When do you plan to release a "stable" version?

i learn Löve (and Lua) in the exclusive goal of making a non-violent vegan game so i will release every version of my engine in the same time i devellop a story and mechanisms for my own game. i plan to have a playable version in average a month and continue further devellopment trough more months again

If you need any help with collision detection, send me a pm.
