I’ve done both, and honestly it depends on your scope and resources. 2D characters are easier to get off the ground, especially if you want to push out a prototype quickly. 3D is more time-intensive, but if you’ve got the right tools and patience, it gives you a lot of flexibility with animation. For indie devs, I’d say go with 2D unless your team already has solid 3D experience, it’ll save you a lot of headaches.
