2D vs 3D

You have made two, 2d games this semester and are now getting a taste of 3d game design by making a maze in the UDK editor. In your opinion, how is the 3d environment better or worse for making an engaging game? The obvious answer is that 3D gives you yet another dimension to explore in games but more is not always better. As you finish creating your maze does the 3D environment spur more original game ideas for you, or would you rather go back to 2D to create your game?

Tyler mansfield story

Windrider

you are hunted down and killed by a pack of giant wolves\n\nbarren dies and joins his ansestors

barren yells his battle cry and charges with his dagger he stabs one but they are wearing armor and are ready for a fight. one of them swings his battle axe at him. barren barly evaded it. but they keep advancing. the axeman strikes again but this time when he dodged the blow the other invader attacks with his sword, its a brutle hit. you are bleeding out and as the two strike again you are sent to meet your ancestors.

A gutteral cry of pain rings throughout the wooden reamains of your ship as you stab the scum that destroyed your pride and joy.\nthe victam's friends appear around the corner and charge barren.\n\n[[do you attack the chargers with the dagger]]\n[[or do you try to excape through the mase of splintered wood]]

Barren hides amoung the splitter wood, not darring to peak over the boards in fear of being seen. not long after you here the farmilar creek of a bout landing on the sand. from your view he can see only the boots of the vikings as they jump over the side of the ship. there are three of them, and one is walking tawards the wreckage where you are hiding. there is now way out of this\n\n[[do you stab the man as he comes around the corner of the wreckage]]\n\n[[using the the rope as a nuse u strangle the man t death]]

you are hunted down and killed by a pack of giant wolves\n\nbarren dies and joins his ansestors

The waylayed viking hobbled over to what was left of the mast of his former ship. saddened he siffed through the remains and finds a dagger and 100 feet of rope. but as u begin to grab these valuble, Barren see off in the foggy morning horiven the hazy out line of a maurder ship sailing across the bay.\n\n[[do you run up the beach to avoiding detechion but leaving the valubles behide]]\n\n[[or do you take the valubles. and hide in the wreckage]]

Barren rushed to make it to the far flung forest at the top of the beach. as he ran he looked back to see the ship sail away into the fog. he reaches the tree line, its dark and dense with under brush. it seems the most logica to either go straight in and see if he is on an island or go parrell of the beach and see how far the forest goes.\n\n[[head straight in]]\n\n[[go south through the forest parrellel to the beach]]

a story of survival,frost and danger

The cold wet sand clung to Baren, he coughed and felt the cold spew of liquid vomit from his mouth. shivering his vision clouded with exhaustion. the sailer slowly dragged him self to his feet. using what strangth he had, Baren survade the wreckage of his prized ship The Sjgord.\n\n[[investigate the remains of the wreck]]\n[[give in to the exhaustion]]

as the rope slips around his neck, barren pulls hard and slowly drains the life from the invader. it was quick and quite perfect for a excape. as he sneak up the beach, yells of alarm from the vikings rised over the roar of the crashing waves. but Barren was long gone into the woods. Barren can either head straight in to the forest or head south parellel to the beach.\n\n\n[[straight in]]\n\n[[south]]

as you get further into the forest the darker it becomes, you here howls in the distance.\n[[keep going]]

you run for as long as your

The ship wrecked viking wakes up to water up to his shoulders, it seems to be high tide. and he is pinned under water difted wreckage. it doesn't take long for the water to rise over his head and drown him in a painful death.

as barren head south he make it to a small fihing town at the end of a peninsila. you are saved.\n\nyou win
