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?

This is just embarrassing. Only 2 or maybe 3 brand new IPs by the 9th generation and then this.

Good thing I got my PS5 Pro over a year ago, and considering how careful I am with my devices, it can last years or even decades.

Opening Microsoft Word now has this new...banner...

Really shows how they love AI this much; they still believe it's a "foundational" technology and it positively impacts the world.

I need @Danyo_ to send an assassin to teach them a lesson or something.

I was looking for good video editors other than Clipchamp as a Windows alternative to VN for my iOS devices and my Mac, and I came across this.

I was initially interested, until I realized really basic features, even 60 FPS, were locked behind a paywall.

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.

Pretty strange that some portions of the game have no voice acting to some extent.

I'm 90% sure other people skip a lot of dialogues because of how unfathomably HUGE this game is.

ok i FINALLY finished dropsane teto

i think i still got it

This is a positive change to our society. Real human-made works should present as it always was.

That's cute, but do you feel the need to go out of your way to commit this much towards AI?

Another issue is that Copilot 365 hallucinates more than the main Copilot, so it's not that reliable.

I'm still patiently waiting this obsession to stop.

Really glad changes like this are rolling out.
