If you’re creating a platformer, or something similar, would you rather create a 2D or a 2.5D viewing angle?


For me, I personally think 2.5D is a better perspective view for me as I have believed that I have grew out of the 2D viewing angle. I mean, I find it a little generic, but it wholly depends on what kind of games it is.

You remember this? My old game from 2021? It was at a 2D view angle. And as I have improved over the years, and as soon as I played Contra and other similar games, I have been mind blown of this level design detail, but I only discovered this about a year ago or 2.

So, when I was creating Tech-Magical Attraction, I put in the 2.5D angle view, and tbh, it feels a lot less generic than I thought it going to be.

This may require more work to do than plain 2D but it gives the visual design more detail. However, not all games benefit from this. If it doesn’t fit well, then might as well just go back to plain 2D.

What do you think? What are your opinions? Which view perspective one is your favorite?

Nobody is gonna be prepared for this. ⏰

I need this controller…

Surfing around the Microsoft Store to check on updates and just found this random Scratch app that came out half a year ago.

Not only do they included AI, but they also just casually included a subscription service just for you to use the core functions.

The Scratch Team has just recently updated their Terms of Service yesterday, letting you know they now have full permission to use your content to train AI models.

Yesterday marks my 5th year of being on GameJolt.

It’s been half a decade, and I still love this platform because it’s lightweight and excellent for content surrounding gaming.

I also made this art for my 5th #spawnday. Spent a few hours using ProCreate.

Got direct inspiration from Akaza, too, for this specific pose.

Spread the word.

This just strengthens my point that Roblox is never safe to play on.

Not a problem, @SkiiRyu !

I barely follow creators at all here and your works by far are remotely excellent visually and you deserved those stickers. Also, I was also doing a quest in getting free background that I wanted to get.

Anyways, you’re welcome.
