This is an awesome idea I’m trying to gather resources so I can make a sci-fi themed game, for after all reality is for people who can’t deal with science fiction.
Oh… And I figured out a way to make flying units in an iso game… You have to put a second “landscape” that is invisible one tile to the north east or north west. Then place a shadow on your first landscape where the unit ‘would be normaly’ and place the unit at the exact same coordenates as the shadow except on the second landscape. All I just have to figure out is how to implement an invisible layer in JS….

Hi,
I like your blog.
I´m curently wondering of developing my own browser game and I want to share some experience.
I really like The West game (http://the-west.net/, originally the-west.cz, because I´m czech – so apologizing for my english). I find The west game really funny in comparation to other browser games, but unfurtunately The west is build to earn money for developers so some game algorhitm are not implemented here, which i would like to put here (such a trading, building your own items, specialized profession).
I´m now trying to implement a world map and I decided to use OpenLayers – openlayers.org – I was really surprised, that I have not yet found a game with this map style (except The west). I think, that for user, it must be the best to use, because he can browse the world like he knows (eg. from googlemaps) and he does not need to do it by clicking on moving to every single next tile of map, if he want to explore or just browse..
What do you think about it? I hope I was a little bit clear..
