The isometric looks good for the zoomed out maps overland, but the perspective looks much better when closer up, plus it makes the rotation look more natural. I’d say go with perspective.
Hehe… okay, that works =)
You have made an old pedant very happy.
Regarding the perspective vs iso look , I prefer the perspective. Regarding that footage on youtube: fading the light level changes would make that look a bit smoother as you walk.

Particles! The particle origin in this video doesn’t follow the unit precisely as it snaps to the grid. That’s been fixed, however, and the particle origin now smoothly follows the models position. I didn’t feel like making another video just for that though.

@kaffiene Yeah, the lighting is choppy as it’s based on a grid… I’ve been trying to think of ways to improve that.
Screen-shots vids and even story (that I normally don’t care much for) is very impressive. I hope you have the energy to take it from a good idea to a great game. It has the potential. It will be interesting to see how the turn based battles will play out.
I would love to see a better lighting system, since the outside light seems awkward to me, very dark (to plain black) and suddenly a clear bright light? Is that at night? What about a less plain dark view and less bright lit areas? What about make those lit areas a bit light blue to give the feeling of being at night? 
I don’t know if I made my point clear

Hi ! The kickstarter was unsuccessful but you by ANY means should NOT be upset, you MUST keep it up, we NEED YOU. Please keep working on this, start a new kickstarter, release a short demo with a 100x100 field to just WALK around and get to see how it looks and feels.
Good lick, I hope to hear soon from you
