Alright, I've had this idea for a shooter level for quite a while. Originally I was thinking a simple sackbot with a paintinator type level, but I recently had the idea to make it top-down. Now I'm no good at decisions, but I have compiled pros about both ways to go, so I thought I'd ask the community. Paintinator Shooter: Better Combat Much Better Detail More Cinematic Platforming Elements Top-Down Shooter: More Open World Cover System Better AI More Strategy So LBPC, could you lend a hand

Top down of course

I made a top-down shooter which IMO uses allot of elements that would be very difficult to put into a paintinator / normal view shooter. Try it out and see if there's anything that might convince you one way or the other. Whichever ideas you take, I don't really mind. Also, as for the paintinator having better combat, I disagree. Top-down opens up many new possibilities for a shooter.

Like you said paintanator more cinematics and platforming elemnets, where as topdown more ai strategies, i'd personally go for paintanator, think it may be a bigger hit. depends what sort of level, is it story (Go for paintanator for cinematics) or an open world type (Go for topdown). Also if you want any promotion for your level I am making a tv sorta level, which I and some other players will be making. Before or after or most likely inbetween shows, you can create a commercial for your level showing a few sneak peeks, this will give your level a big bang, as you can say "as seen on LittleBigToons" here is the link if you are interested:https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=61277-LittleBigToons-(Help-Wanted)) READ COMMERCIAL SECTION REPLY ON THE TOPIC Also if you or you know someone who will be interested in creating a show for the series, refer them to the link

Top Down. It is way cooler (IMO). Then again I'm addicted to top down levels (look at my user title). In top down levels you can put stuff like exploding barrels, cool HUD's, mines/grenades/C4 And the weapons are way more detailed.

i say top down because you can have a lot more room and much better combat with stuff like land mines and different types of guns. or you could use the new first person camera tech, that would make it popular, very popular. i could help
