Question by FTheCloud · Aug 04, 2011 at 09:10 AM · 2dorthographicperspectivestairsflat

Stairs in 2D

How would you make a simple staircase in 2d assuming that your looking down at the game.

Its hard because it just ends up looking like a bunch of rectangles next to eachother.

Just an artistic question not a technical one.

Thanks

Really, any way that makes it look less like a solid rectangle.

  • Add a bit of wear-and-tear to the center of the staircase, make it look like it's been well used. Or a carpet. Anything that adds a strip of detail along the walking axis of the staircase
  • Ensure the lighting is at an angle so that each step casts some shadow onto the one below it
  • Add a bannister
Even this ASCII representation benefits alot from bannisters
