I’m new to unity and game development in general. I was wondering if it is easy to make a 2D RPG game with Unity but with a first-person 3D camera. Like Daggerfall or Doom. I’m looking for a free game engine with a SDK that can make it easy for me to make sprites and sprite animations as well as 3D camera movement. So that means 4-directional 2D objects, and 2D characters with sprite animations. I would also prefer cross-platforming to iOS and Android and possible networking in the future. Can Unity do all these things for free? If not, does anyone know of a free SDK that can? I have no money so I’m just looking to make a game as a hobby.
Well, yes it is as easy as you make it.
As to multi platform I believe this is a technical yes but Apple and Google don’t play nice IIRC, and if Apple found out about it playing with android they would take it down…
So if you could go under the radar then you can make it work but you will probably get caught, you may be able to have IOS-Mac, Mac-Android, Android-PC, PC-Mac but not IOS-Android or IOS-PC.
I don’t know about IOS-Android, but I know you would probably be able to do IOS-PC without too many complications unless there’s complicated work switching from IOS to PC. Angry Birds is IOS, but it’s also on PC (in Google Chrome’s app store among other places)
Just deploying to multiple platforms is rather easy, realy its just how you do some stuff and the input that changes… I thought that he was referring to multi platform multiplayer through this quote:
Thank you 
That’s good to know. Can any of you point me in the direction of how to do 2D sprites and Sprite animations from images. And how to make parts of the image transparent. Any help would be appreciated.
