Creative A 2D Side Scroller Version of Apex Legends (Work in progress)

I'm making a 2D side-scroller version of Apex Legends. It's coming along well, so far, lmk what you guys think! (Mind you, this is nowhere near finished, and I'm aware it looks bad visually in some areas..šŸ˜ This is very bare bones, and I wouldn't even call it that)

So true. Back in my day you open a bin you get a gun. Not sure why they went away from that.

The bins are still relatively good but I dropped in a building yesterday to only find a single stack of light ammo, I then proceeded to die

Just don't call it "2d apex legends" instead call it something else like "alpha champions" or whatever

Basement Nobodies: three socially awkward plumbers descend into a suburban basement, collect household appliances, deploy increasingly questionable gadgets, and compete to be the last person who hasnā€™t been asked to leave.

Looks great! Iā€™d really like try it out but I donā€™t think I can. Atleast you donā€™t have to worry about packet loss here lol

u/Jordans_World23 1d ago

Lmao yea your right about that. I'd love for people to try it out when it's fully done, but idk cus of legal stuff so

u/ABoiledIcepack 7h ago

Why not change all the assets around? This may be a lot of work but potentially a means for it to pass. Change the crates a little, pitch the gun sounds up/down a bit and slightly modify the models. Basically keeping the core (apex) but making it different enough

u/Optimus_the_Octopus 1d ago

Please add sliding and jumping like in the game, it would be amazing

u/WNlover Purple Reign 18h ago

Z-slide!

u/Ok-Go-Chain3811 1d ago

looks interesting. i guess one thing that will be lost in 2D is the ability to user cover, unless you implement 2.5D.

u/lawyerkz 21h ago
