Why 2D might deserve more attention than it is getting

• 2D Collision Detection: Being forced to use 3D Collision on sprites simply breaks games. Although I can only assume here, I don’t think it would take forever to fix, either.
• 2D Rendering: I am commonly getting rendering artifacts that make the game look blurry or cause flickering. This is not caused by the postprocessing, I tested this with all of that turned off, so unless there’s some arcane wizardry to perform in the settings, this is caused by the engine core and can not easily be fixed by the end-user.
• 2D Volumes: This is pretty self-explanatory. 2D Volumes can be used in a lot of places and using 3D volumes instead is just as bad as having to use 3D colliders.
• Reduced Filesize: Although this is not strictly related to 2D, I would disagree that a game of pacman should be using up 50+ MB of space. Surely there have to be ways to reduce the filesize for games using exclusively 2D.

– 2D Collision Detection: Not sure why you think it that way. Can you give a reasoning? I did not have problems with 3D collision yet and I kinda needed for my 3D maps that I will create.

– 2D Rendering: First of all, if you see your 2D images gettin blurry or jumping from normal to blur, it might be because your textures have “Never Stream” off. Turn that on in the properties and you won’t have that problem.

– 2D Volumes: Again, why? I never had problems with them either.

– Reduced Filesize: Thats something one can optimize it himself aswell.

Just my 2 cents.
