Re: Should I Attempt A 3D Game?
The artistic skill necessary to do a good 3D game should be weighted heavily. In my experience, 2D games written in highschool can be pretty fun and interesting from a programming aspect as well. The one person I know who has attempted something along the lines of what you are suggesting had a very difficult time getting the models to work out well.

I would suggest just doing an epic 2D game. In my experience, comp sci teachers don't care about the visuals as much as how and why you coded different functions of the program. Remember, if you aren't going to be done on time, it is hard to get a good mark.
