Hi Philipp!
Yes, it is possible to create an open world like that, but as you correctly said we do not have an example or demo for this at the moment.
To get started, you can have a look at other game demos like like:
- Durdles – uses different maps with a top-down view where the player can move around. If you switch to another map at the borders, you would get a form of open world as you described.
- If you are going for a tile-based approach for your maps you can have a look at our Platformer with Level Editor demo. It uses the Level Editor combined with tiles to create side-scrolling 2D levels. You could also do something similar for a top-down view game and world.
- Another hint to create a simple grid of “tiles” is the Juicy Squash demo (it also has a written tutorial). The grid of fruits is created randomly, but the main idea underneath could also work for your game: You can use a simple array to describe your map tiles and display the map accordingly in the game scene.
Hope this helps!
As for german: We use english as the common forum language if possible, as then also other devs from around the world can use the answer or comment. If writing english is a problem, you can also use german or write to our mail support, where the language is not that important.
Best,
Günther
