Message: [QUOTE="Deleted member 660650, post: 303472, member: 660650"] If you have to learn something from scratch then naturally it won't be "easier" for have to learn and build skills for the new thing gets harder and harder. That's why I stick to what I know: 2D and 3D game engines I wrote a long time ago with minimal updates, I still use Photoshop for 2D visuals and Blender for 3D visuals and stuff, Reason for music and Audacity for sound editing. However just because it's easier for me I stick to Game Maker because I mastered it. Unity would be easier especially for real-time physics but I already have it at home on Game Maker. Unreal would be easier for simple 3D but I already have it at home on Game Maker. The logic is whatever you mastered is what will always be easiest for me. I have decades of experience with these aforementioned programs that sometimes even I surprise myself for what I can do with them. Only recently I started to use Pixelorama for pixel art that my Photoshop experience makes it easier for me but if it was based on learning from scratch I know I would have a hard time learning something new. Naturally learning and building skills takes too much time but when you can develop the game with what you know it's already okay and easy for you. I would say 3D assets and animations easier to do than 2D but if you know how. Animations would be the most bothersome aspect of it and then optimization of 3D model. You can't just make a model willy-nilly and expect it to work okay, gotta delete whatever is unnecessary about it. And then lastly textures of 3D model's hardship is because of technical aspects to make them work okay in the game than actually creating the visuals. So despite it's easy to develop 3D game these days I would still stick to non-pixel art 2D games for most of development time wasted on visual assets. If I take like 20 days for finishing visual assets it's takes like 2 days to produce all the musics and SFX and then 1 day to actually build the game and programming the base of the game and few days of adjusting the game for a proper state.
