Varian doing a simple dot product calculation to determine a bullet's collision in a 3d game takes about 1 minute to code. Sprite work is more time consuming to determine the different hit boxes. A lot of 3D code is actually very simple mathematically.

That aside, the ease of programming is a non-point. The cost of making a game has skyrocketed astronomically since 3D games came around. Regardless of how simple it is to code a collision, Alien Hominid was still much cheaper than geist. That is undeniable.

You are correct. I was stupidly thinking of collisions between players online.
