it being 3D doesn't even provide much benefits, it's essentially still 2D gameplay, you can't even traverse the 3rd axis
want to enter the bathroom stall? it's a separate map instance so being 3D didn't change anything
what we're getting is 3D art not 3D gameplay... which is trivial imo, hear me out... we know JaShinn is already good at 2D stuff, the current WIP posts do look promising but refining and polishing would be way harder now that he's in a new territory, and all that just for 3D models and animations without the extra dimension in gameplay. It begs the question: even if he manages to deliver, was it really worth it? did it being 3D over 2D change anything aside from just making life harder for him
I'm all for 2.5D games, but those games give you a dynamic camera that capitalizes on the extra axis whereas this one is still your standard sidescroller camera, actually some 2.5D games use sidescroller camera and still look good because of visual depth so there is still hope if he can make some good looking environments
who knows, can't judge too early, last thing you know he does some voodoo shit and blows everyone away revolutionizing ero games
