Following the discussion on this
thread, in which a few player were wondering how it could be dealt with the z axis, I wrote that little thing, to see what could a side view bring to a z-axis. (Well, it of course depends on how thay axis is implemented : is it just different levels, connected with stairs only, or more like what I wrote ?)
You can download the thing here. (Be warned, the display is quite crappy. I only made it to test what it could bring)
And now some Pictures :
To the left you've got a large top view.
To the top right there is a side view along the x-axis. (It is drawn as if you were looking to the top of the top view).
To the bottom right, a side view along the y-axis. (It is drawn as if you were looking to the left of the top view).
You see here a bunch of goblins close to the river and a few dwarves getting nervous. A dwarf is waiting in the big hall.
Here, I am watching from higher (you can see at each altitude is the view with the " > < " at the right part of the screen. As we are quite high we can only see there is something outside, but we can't tell what.
If you look at the bottom left of the top view, you can see a path at the top of the cliff.
The side views show the group go goblin (darker means further from the view)
Still on the same "3D Picture", you see here a Kobold cave just located under the dwarfs. You reach their nest by the path we had just spotted above the cliff.
