Hello there, long time no see, hope you're well =)
Regarding the changed forum look: Yeah, didn't like that at all initially either, maybe i'll get more used to it with time =)
Regarding 2D/ 3D stuff: Yeah, i worked on a bunch of 3D stuff for a while, now again in between on some 2D stuff, i just like to try different things, technologies etc so always exploring =)
I like all sorts of art styles, hand drawn, pixel art, vector etc in 2D and various things in 3D, but each has different advantages and disadvantages. I like doing prerendered and realtime 3D stuff, too but it can be more time and money intensive to do something on high end level like big budget console/pc games going for 3D, whereas when in comparison going for let's say a pixel art 2D look a single very skilled artist like motto, daydream or luxregina for example can create excellent art which carries a whole game all alone.
I also like different things in 2D more than in 3D, like for example i love the cartoon pixel art characters in eternal bubbles with their expressive cute face expressions and animations.
In short: 2D and 3D have quite different pros and cons, i like lots of 2D and 3D things a lot and choose per project what makes more sense =)
Funnily i'm just working on a "2.5 D" game right now =)
