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?

Hey, @operagx has joined GameJolt a week ago? And there's a quest, too?

What a day.

Finally got it. The ROG Raikiri II Xbox controller. Now it matches with my Z13.

I discovered this from an unboxing YouTube video.

I really love the lights and the many options I have configure this with Armoury Crate. It feels super nice, too.

There may be finally some hope for Windows as the backlash from users and even enterprise businesses were strong enough.

I also heard they are probably redirecting their engineers to actually fixing real issues.

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.

Every day, it seems like the tech world is deteriorating by just a few people.

There is a big BIG problem here, and I don't believe it's going get better anytime soon.

I also don't believe getting angry is even worth your time anymore, either.

A little cool surprise on the final boss where phase 3 will warp the entire stage back to a specific style.

Finally, I got this free background for completing a quest.

Thanks, GameJolt.

Testing out a new move! This move is for all characters

I guess a W for Microsoft keeping the lifespan of the current Xbox consoles really long if this is true.
