ok ok ok , now lets face it .. 2d games are boring , boring , boring and don't mind but they are boring ..
so why clickteam is wasting their precious time in making these 2d games development tools..
now when we think of a clickteam 3d games creator .. the first name which comes in our mind is JAMAGIC!!
.. but again , we have to write codes there .. so why don't clickteam try to make a software like GAMES FACTORY or MULTIMEDIA FUSION e.t.c which can create 3d games!!
..... 3D GAMES FACTORY!!

The last thing I recall, Multimedia Fusion was the latest and greatest game development tool for 2D games, and semi-3D games, from Clickteam. Ever since that program they have been focusing on taking things one step closer. First Jamagic, next with the next level of MMF that will include the ability of making 3D games and other nifty things.

What is your problem? You're saying 2D games are inherently boring and 3D games are inherently fun. Wrong. I bet if you made a 3D game, it would suck. Sorry, face the facts.
I've played tons of good 2D games. I've played tons of horrible 3D games. And what is wrong with Jamagic? Your post shows two things: you have been spoiled on 3D games (which involve not only coding, but texturing, modeling, and 3D engines) and you are also too lazy to pick up code.

Dangerous Dave - possibly the world's first survivial horror? Well, maybe not, but it was great all the same. And who could forget such classics as Commander Keen (as mentioned earlier), Prince of Persia, and the early Mario and Sonic games?
Dismissing the entire 2D genre like that makes you seem more than a little ignorant... does the addition of a third dimension really help all that much? Rollercoaster Tycoon, for instance - isometric and very definitely 2D, but it didn't stop it from becoming one of my favourites.

3D games are becomming boring. I want old school style 2D platform mario style games in new tech, not the new 3D world run around Mario piece of crap games they've released with Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine.
I feel I'm constantly ignoring my new generation game console systems for old game emulation.

Sorry, I have to join in as a 2D defender here... how the HELL can you honestly say 2D games are boring and back it up. Without 2D we'd have no 3D...
You must have had a seriously misplace childhood if you didnt spend hours on your own in a dark room playing mario world, SOM, Zelda, Gaia, Mystic quest etc. and naming the characters after yourself and girls you fancied...
or is it the other way round?

in terms of gameplay 2d and 3d games can be as good as each other
but with graphics, 3d have way more potential and that is why almost all modern games are 3d
if you played a 2d game on your ps2 gc or xbox you would probably feel you have been ripped of paying £40 or however much for that sort of game.
thank goodness for the gameboy advance then.
oh and to answer your question clickteam have made jamagic which is a 3d game maker

Dude, 3D games are only better, because they seem more realistic. Now, if you can't be arsed learning Jammascript, then you won't be making any realistic 3D stuff. It'll probably be a buggy version of the original Wolfenstien. Even that is pretty hopeful. I've seen a lot of games that had potential, but totally sucked, because some idiot decided to make them 3D. The third dimention causes a lot more bugs, and a lot more inconveniences. Surely you guys remember early 3D games don't you?
Copy this to your hard drive. It will be worth alot when I'm famous.

Oh yeah, doom, castle wolfenstien, and then there was those 3D horror games, where you run around in a mansion and scary dudes come out and you use lame weps on them, I forget the names but its just like wolfenstien with no guns. Another type of 2D wich is very awsome is games like Day of the Tentacle, Roger Wilco, Full Throttle, Sam and Max, the 'point and click adventure' type. I like 3D games, but you must apreciate 2D.

Well, they need to make it as realistic as they can make it look, after all! But after Doom they replaced the realistic bobbing up and down with a realistic bobbing left and right of the weapon. What they need to do now with the next generation of first person shooter games is take out all the bobbing up and down and left and rights and put in a bobbing back and forward, in and outting type of thing. That'd make people feel light headed for sure!

Games like Doom are cool, but, I think, they get boring after a while. And I think one of the charms
of old-school games are that they are so unrealistic.
By the way...Did anyone ever play Monster Bash by Apogee? That game was really cool!

Monster Bash ahhh...the memories, Monster Bash, Wolfenstein, Whacky Wheels, Commander keen, Doom e.t.c are some of the greatest PC games.
anyway i think Blitz is alot better then Jamagic, plus who cares if its 2d or 3d.

As far as I'm concerned the best thing about KnP/TgF/MMF is the picture editor. Sure, it's not as good as a proffessional drawing package but it means you don't have to leave the program and make about a million paint files just to make a character, some bad guys, backgrounds... That's my biggest problem with 3D game makers. If they come up with one with an integrated modelling and texture package, I'm sold.

I don't think so, Invader Zim. I thought they had just started. I could be wrong. But anyway, is anyone going to get MMF 2? I just think that soon MMF 2 will be obsulete, and then MMF 3D will become obsultete. Plus, it'll probebly be 200 dollars or more when it comes out!

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. Clickteam pushes their stuff back from their starting due date a lot so they aren't forced to release an incomplete program. This is why they have stressed time and time again that they do not like to give release dates.

2d and 3d have their places in society. 2d can do some things that 3d can do, and vice versa, but other roles they have can never be switched.
Without 3d, for example, we would never have had first person shooters. That means Goldeneye, Halflife, Halo, none of these gems would ever have existed.
However, 3d platform games in the majority simply are not as good as 2d platformers. 2d will always be the best at them because jumping on platforms seems to make so much more sense in 2d than 3d. In 3d, it's more tempting just walk around stuff than try and hop up on it. That's an integral factor that 3d platformers ignore at their peril.
3d technology, however, has the ability to vastly enhance 2d. Because of the 3d 'revolution', graphics cards have had to advance massively, and we tend to forget the impact that can have on the relatively simple world of 2d.
One or two recent 2d games have shown a great comradery between 2d and 3d by using polygons in a 3d world to display 2d sprites. This forces the graphics card to work overtime applying all its fanciest effects on the otherwise *2d* sprites and backgrounds. This makes resizing and rotating sprites a doddle, and allows fast access to different rendering options, bump mapping, texture-based light refraction, multiple material types and light sources, alpha maps, paralax, awesome realtime particle effects, you name it!
Just think of what the superconsoles could do for 2d! A 2d zelda game could have vast worlds stored on the 1.5gb DVDs that the GC supports, it could run the graphics in hires at 640x480 rather than 320x240, and with 24bit true colour. Sprites could be antialiased, and have alpha transparency. Water could ripple and refract as characters move through it, fire would be calculated as realtime particle effects, and the worlds could be populated by thousands of individual NPCs, with millions of upgrades, weapons, potions, items, etc to be found over literally thousands of locations.
It sounds so mouthwatering that it's a testimony to the smallmindedness and stupidity of game developers worldwide that they haven't done it already. Alas, the gaming world is a tempestuous place right now.

I'd hardly call 1.5gb big seeing as the xbox and ps2 have 26gb discs. I think Doom was more advanced than that, but it didn't support floors over floors. Crystal Caves and Secret Agent are 2 kickass games.

PS2 discs are 4.7GB capacity (standard DVD) -- some also come on standard 650-700MB CDs. XBox discs can hold a little under 10GB (don't remember the exact number or technical term, but it has something to do with DVD-9). You're right Louis, that they hold more than a GameCube disc (1.5GB -- you were right on that one), but I don't know where you're getting your 26GB number...
