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?

Ufotable is making a Genshin Impact anime production, the same studio from Demon Slayer.

Holy shoot.

Thanks for the 600 followers, guys.

It took me more than 2 years to gain 100 new followers. That's way too long, lol.

Xbox CEO is being replaced by this woman.

Buuuuuttt, I do have some skepticism because she was previously a president of CoreAI of Microsoft with absolutely no gaming background.

And yet, in her note, she said she has no tolerance to AI slop.

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.

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.

There is a special song I want to put in for phase 4 of the final boss, but it's 5 freaking MB.

Holy shoot, K&F VG 3 will probably over 100 MB total.

Be sure to clear out your RAM first before playing this game once the final release comes out.

I would love to see how the legal battle goes...

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

So, apparently, TM-Attraction: TGF is broken on Microsoft Edge. I haven't changed anything in the game, either.

Though, it still works on Opera GX, so just letting people know. Use different browsers if you're playing this.
