Now, I'm working on a game where the player is limited on the Z-Axis, yet there are still 3D graphics. In a 2.5D game would you like to see a...

• Knockout tournament!

• RPG

• Adventure game

• Military Sci-Fi Tycoon, not the kind of junk you see on the front page.

• Defence game

• Something else!

The problem with making engines: what do you do with it?

I think it can be half of Z-Axis.

Yes, you're correct, but what type of game on roblox would you like to see in two-dimensional gameplay?

Maybe something like Mario...
I would like to see Mario style games with menus, GUIs, Boss battles, etc.

I'm thinking of a science-fiction tournament based game, where players, well, beat the tar out of each other! =3

YES, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE CONCEPT OF 2.5D SPACE CHICKENS.

Add that to your idea now, because you obviously said space chickens without me putting words into your mouth at all.

If my math is correct, 3 + 2 = 5

D ^ 3 = XYZ

D ^ 2 = XY

D^2.5 = XY.Z

Never heard of 2.5D...

But, I say you go with an RPG.

If it was only Z axis, you could not Jump. Up and down is along the Y axis. So if you only want the player to move 2 directions, and that's it, meaning no stairs, no ladders, nothing to lift the player, then it's Z and Y. And typically, unless it's something like temple run, which is Z and Y, it goes horizontally. Like a scroller game. So it's probably X and Y. Learn your dimensions and I'll be impressed.

Maybe an adaptation of Plazma Burst 2.

I have learned my dimensions!

2D = XY

The reason I called it 2.5D is the fact that it contains 3D graphics, yet 2D gameplay.

And, no, I'm not making a mario game; I'm not that unimaginative!

Okay.. No. You haven't. 2D is not just X and Y. And in your original post you only said 1, Z. You never said anything about Y. Learn your dimensions. And 2+3 = 5...

How about this; 3D scroller. A scrolling game is when it the camera scrolls along a single axis. 3D includes Objects with a design based of of the X, Y, and Z axis. 3D + Scroller = 3D scroller.

He didn't mean 2D + 3D literally. This is not math. This is a play on words.

He also meant a 3D scroller. Players could only move along the horizontal and vertical axis, but not depth. So players can't go farther or closer. The camera also scrolls edge-to-edge.

5D and 4D are not well known currently. There are much speculation within these two dimensions. Without knowing anything, we can't make anything. So know your facts before you start suggesting something surreal.

And there is no 4D, there have been some cheesy games that claim to be 4D.
Some developers think the 4th dimension could be
(Sound, Taste, Etc.)
NO There are only 3 dimensions on this world!
And 2.5D is just a name.
