This is a somewhat old story. I joined a project in making a 2.5d platformer in Unity. A couple months in, the project manager had decided that this game would have two sequels, an MMORPG, a live-action movie and a web series. He informed the whole team of this decision. One week later, every member of the dev team had left. This scope crept forth from the depths of hell and ruined a simple project. Lesson learned: Keep the scope small and don't bite over more than you can chew.

Edit: I know that you should dream big, but don't make 4 games, a web series and a movie simultaneously.

Just about to get ready to import all of the hair sprites for my game and calculated it to be 1260 sprite strips to import... Fan-Fucking-Tastic!

To anyone out there thinking about making a 2.5D RPG, don't managing sprites is the worst thing known to man -.-

These stupidly named 2.5D hardened glass screen protectors are actually pretty nice.

Question for those who are into mobile game dev: unity is still a shitshow or they just quit the idea of charging for each install ? Trying to choose a game engine and I have no f clue what to choose for a 2.5d platformer
