Quote:Art style?
... *slowly backs away from ABF*
Drawn 2d art, polyagonal art, sprites-in-3d art, etc... that's what I mean there...
Quote:I believe I already did.
Yeah, I see that quote now... and that probably is what DJ meant (everything's stored in a 1d list). And that's correct, but as you say that's just representing a 2d image...
Quote:"2.5D" is a hellovalot more easy to say that "3D game that uses typical 2D platformer gameplay", okay? This is the same situation as RPG, where the name doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Everyone calls 3D games with 2D gameplay 2.5D games, so live with it.
It's just '2d platformer made with polygons', really... if there is no third dimension in gameplay it shouldn't really be getting the label, I think... unless, of course, you're talking about the graphical style the game uses.
