In Adventure Creator, 2.5D refers to the use of 3D character on top of 2D backgrounds - the same technique used by games like Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey.
It's a complex - and visual - topic, so is best covered through video. This bumper guide will take you through all the steps needed to make such a game.
Note: The New Game Wizard has been updated since this video was recorded - a tutorial on its usage can be found here.
