You can create a full 3D game but there will be limitations:
- You can build a 3D level/world from 3D models components in the editor but the tooling could be improved
- The built in engine camera is a bit limited. Use RenderCam from the Asset Portal!
- There are some limitations in how you structure your Collada model. Read more here: Importing models
3D can be used in its current state though. Some examples:
- Blastlands used a mix of 2D and 3D (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYzIQZagbZA)
- @sergey.lerg posted a 3D project here: TankVsMeteors - a sample 3D game
- @d954mas: Noname 2.5 Shooter (Open source)
I’ve been playing around with a 3D racing game, but haven’t had time lately. I hope to share the project when it is a bit further along.
There is not really a Defold 1, 2 or 3. When we launched the new editor it was a huge change since it was a rewrite of the editor so we called it Editor 2. But in general we make incremental improvements all the time. And we have some plans to free up resources to make a big push on 3D this year.
