    With 20/20 hindsight it was obviously a good idea.

    But at the time of making the decision, it was an unbelievably risky plan and the odds were stacked against it. As a matter of fact, for every successful 2D platformer made with care and love that gets released and becomes successful, there are dozens that fail miserably and that you will never hear of.

    Yes, believing in yourself and taking risks makes success possible, but remember that it does not guarantee it.
