Comment on Isogenic HTML 5 Game Engine Released

Comments

This was very interesting to me, since I'm looking for an isometric game engine for a project I'll be starting in a few months.

Thoughts- The counter read 218FPS, but it FELT slow. Any action (bring down the drop down menu) took FOREVER.

I signed in with FB, but would not have if I was a consumer. I immediately revoked access, before closing the app. God, this is a bold ("dumb?") move on the engine developer's part. There's no way I'd even consider the engine if this is a real requirement.

Is there no way to zoom in? This seems to be one of the big advantages to this type of game engine, versus a straight-on 2d engine, like Monkey Island.. I should be able to zoom these..

This seems very dedicated to a SimCity type game. What about Diablo, or Fallout style games?

When I had a man standing on a plot by himself, not moving, it still seems to set the rectangle to be dirty. Why? Because he "Could" move? That seems unnecessary.

The CPU on this seems higher than it ought to be on modern HW.

Overall, interesting project, I'll be watching this.
