Reia Cubed is an active turn-based roleplaying game that I am currently developing for the PC. Originally conceived as a strictly personal, for-fun project, the game has slowly become more to me. At the moment I am currently finishing up my masters degree, and I decided to implement my game into my research.
I come to you all for suggestions/feedback of the game in its current form. I have two version of the game that I am torn between, which is a 3D over-the-shoulder camera or a 2D top-down camera. As part of my research, I developed the two styles to test the impact that form has on the overall experience (there are also two more versions testing the impact of color)... but as the game was intended to be in 3D, I was surprised to find myself torn between the two. I don't know which I like more, and I could really use the help deciding.
If you have time, I would ask that you participate in my research study (trying to investigate that there statistical significance), but if you don't have the time or desire, I will provide alternate links:

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~sgarver/2D_Color.htmlThe game is built at the lowest settings (I've only seen it chug on a six year old low-end laptop), but I don't know the specific specifications (KNOWN ISSUE: It appears that web player renders the text differently from a normal build, which causes the text to wrap wrong on occassion, resize browser if this ever happens).
Let me know what you think below. Thanks so much everyone!

EDIT: Totally forgot to mention the disclaimer (can be read in more detail in the game), that all music is stand-in to convey the style. The build won't be hosted for very long and any copyrighted material won't be in an official release.
