Honestly, if mainstream developers had had that attitude we probably
wouldn't have seen some of the classic games we did. If we're ever going to
have a market even close to the mainstream we need to fully explore EVERY!
genre. That includes side scrollers as well as 3-d games.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

There are enough side scrollers here already. If you are so in love with
side scrollers which I fully appreciate, play those games.

Hi quentin.
that is a good point indeed and something I've seen done in other games
too.
Indeed, some side scrollers have a ful object and inventory system like
an rpg, and just use a separate screen to manipulate them.
Beware the grue!

Hello,
Nice discussion between side scroller and 3D.
I always found 3D games much harder and a puzzle in themselves to find
your way. Like dark, when I was younger and partially sighted, I
imagined allmost everything being a side scroller level.
I'm pretty sure you can do a side scroller as difficult as a 3D game.
For exemple, nobody has yet tried to include puzzles that are outside
level area. Imagine the following scenario: your character arrive in
front of a locked door. When trying to open it, you could say that there
are switches on the wall next to the door and open a separate screen to
manipulate them. You can even go further and turn the puzzle into a
mini-game.
