Looks awesome, I'd hit it.

Um... that's 2.5D....

And plus, 3D is just a 2D game with stretched graphics. You should say "2D is better than 2D with better visuals."

Hm Interesting game.

first off. thats not 2.5D,

the definition of 2.5D, is a 2D game that emulates 3D. that games does have some parralax scrollers that give the illusion of depth. but many 2D games have that.
personally i hate the term 2.5D there is no such thing as half a dimension.

secondly. "And plus, 3D is just a 2D game with stretched graphics." are you kidding me? the distinct difference with 2d and 3d is the addition of a complete new dimension. you can stretch 2d as much as you want to(in the given plane). it will never be 3D.

Do you even know how to make a 3D game? Yeah, there's a z dimension, but a 3D game is just a 2D game with an illusion behind it.

I see where ur going with that pickzel, 3D is all the way 3D until it reaches the monitor, the "image" is processed in 3D in the video card(math,math and more math). then it creates your FOV, and sends it to the monitor as a 2D image of the 3D scene stored in the Video Card.

[avansc]

no its not. in a 2d game you can describe any position in the game world with 2 coordinates. unlike in a 3d game where you need 3.
if you knew anything about mathematics you would know there are fundamental differences. not just "illusions" as you put it.

edit: this was in reply to pixelwhatever.

[Netwatcher]

My point is that Pickzel was wrong...
What i meant was that a 3D game in the computer is truly 3D, there's no "illusion",on the monitor you just get to see a part of the scene, which is truly 3D for all practical matters.

Awesome!

You really don't like 3d do you?

[avansc]

Awesome!

You really don't like 3d do you?

not that i dont like it. its just that 2D seems to tickle my nutsack more.

and pickzell, i understand now why you say what you do after learning you are a proponent of GML. silly child.

A series of shorts from the artist this game is based upon

Pretty awesome looking. Art reminds me of World of Goo.

Not sure where some of you are seeing any 3D. Looks entirely made of vector graphics.

[dandymcgee]

That was awesome. I can see how some would easily mistake it for 3D, especially some of the particles and animations. Beautiful artwork.

[Pickzell]

I just figured out Dimmu Borgir (Dark Cities in English) is doing the soundtrack for this game. That can't be good.
If you wanna know why.

its just that 2D seems to tickle my nutsack more.
