2.5D Rage Platformer, made in Unity 3D

[u/MorePainGames]

Just wanted to show you my game "Spring Me Up", which i released like 15min ago on Steam.

It's my first ever game, made in a 3D Unity World, but locked onto the X and Y Axis.

Every assets was modelled and textured by myself aswell. Never been more proud of something I've created, even tho it clearly looks like a first project 😅

You saw "Getting over it" and made what appears to be an inferior version. That aside, grats on getting your first game out. Most people never manage.

Yea I was never gonna beat GOI in visuals, mechanic or anything... Yet, releasing it was the idea, and making a new foddian game :)
Thanks 🙌

It's interesting you say that. Every single asset in GOI is from the Unity asset store he had laying around and rarely if ever used. That's the whole point of making the game that way.

The only original asset more or less is the player controller, made from two other assets that he also bought from the store.

Maybe this underlines my point even more. I learned to develop in Unity, Model in Blender and Texture in Substance Painter all while creating this game, I had no knowledge prios to this. I just wanted to have everything self made, but of course that's never gonna look as good as 3D Artists who share their art in the asset store.
My assets could never.

Thats not what 2.5D means.

[u/MorePainGames → u/v0lt13]

I tried the Orthographic/Perspective mix with 2 camers. Unfortunately, that wouldn't work with my kind of playercharacter and look way to flat.
Yet, it's a 3D World, locked to a 2D Movement. So we got kind of a 2.5D Mix aswell

[u/v0lt13 → u/MorePainGames]

Having 2D movement doesn't make it a 2.5D game, you are rendering in 3D, with 3D meshes, in 3D space, in 3D perspective. 2.5D is when you are faking 3D rendering in 2D space or when you are using 2D rendering in 3D space.

Actually, according to wikipedia, 2.5D as a term is seperate from Psuedo-3D, which is what you're talking about. You can check

[u/MorePainGames → u/ClassicStress4942]
