I have been programing in 2D for a year now and i think i got the hang of it. I made 3 fully functional games (rpg, tower defense and a shooter) and I thought its time to move to 3D.
I was browsing YouTube yesterday looking for game engines and what game programer are up to these days, and i found this video that shows a 2D isometric game engine like Diablo 2. first when i saw it i was blown away, i thought it was just amazing what these guys are doing. and then i thought to my self why not start making something similar. but then when i downloaded the engine i saw a sprite sheet that has only one enemy movement and all of its animation, to my surprise it was 4000X3000 pixels !! they are making 3D models and converting them to 2D sprite sheets to put it in their engine. So i thought why bother with 2D if you can do the same in 3D and maybe easier and faster.
so guys what do you think is it worth it keep working in 2D or switch to 3D? keep in mind i would like to make something similar to Diablo 2 style.
here is the video and their website.
