The first thing we are going to do is give examples of what is considered 'Tru 2D' and what is not.

'TRU 2D' Examples:

'NON-TRU 2D' Examples:

Notice that the 'Non_Tru 2D' examples have the two dimensions height and length, but they also have an attempt to use the third dimension of depth.  One characteristic that many 'Non-Tru 2D' images have is a shadow.  For those using RPG Maker engines, this means that most of the RTP images are not allowed, including animations, characters, enemies, and tilesets.  THEME: Open
