I need to know this, because I am planning on making a game with a top-down view. The game will have a retro kind of style, inspired by Enter the Gungeon (check it out for reference). Of course, I won’t actually attempt to make this without more experience, but that isn’t the point. Can somebody answer this for me?
Top-down view game’s DO NOT have to be 2D, they can be 2.5D which means having 2D elements/3D elements in the game.
In Enter the Gungeon, that is a 3D game, but for game play it’s mainly 2D.
In short, it can be a mix of both
every game you make on unity is 3D technically because unity is a 3d engine
It is also a 2D engine as well, when you create a project doesn’t it give you an option, 2d, or 3d?
Thank you all very much for the advice. I’ll keep this in mind!
In Unity, there’s really no such thing as a “true” 2D project.
The only real difference between a 2D and 3D project is the camera perspective, the use of sprites or models, and the use of the PhysX or Box2D physics engine.
All of these can be mix & matched in the same scene.
For instance, you can make a 2D platformer game with a 3D model as the player object.
Or you could have sprites move on the z-axis to create depth.
yeah, sorry I didn’t write the post correctly.
But yeah, I did explain that earlier! Thanks for correcting me anyways
