Sorry, I meant if you had to make a new game in one of the genre's that you've already made games in.

I think you're right about any game needing lots of Physics being naturally difficult, like if you had to make a version of Kerbal Space Program or something.

Having played around with both, I'd have to say that turn-based games are "easier" simply because the game "pauses" at regular intervals, making it much easier to evaluate different things. In a real-time game, I frequently have to press the Pause button to evaluate the coordinates of sprites or see if damage is being calculated correctly (or at all).

I have another suspicion that 2D games are easier to make than 3D games . . . but I can't say for sure because I haven't made anything in 3D yet.

Ah, if I had to make a game on a genre I’ve made before, I’m not sure if I would rank difficulty on it at all. The only difficult part would be to implement something new that I’m unfamiliar with.

For example if I was working on a new platformer, I’d most likely add a new feature, to make it more interesting for me to make.

I prefer 3D games myself, as I think once one gets the basics done, it’s way easier to make a game, than with 2D.

That's encouraging to hear about 3D games. One of these days I hope to progress to that level.
