Ok, I’ve had my fun with some blogging, now let’s talk about why I’ve called you all here tonight.
From my previous post, you know that the first major game by Dust Scratch Games will involve 2D hand-drawn characters in 3D space. That’s right: a hand-drawn 3d game. This isn’t necessarily the first time such a game was made: the JRPG “Time and Eternity” for the PS3 is advertised as the first playable anime, for example. But that game had the animated sprites in a fixed position in front of the camera, giving the impression of a crude first-person game with cartoons pasted on the front. This, among other reasons, was cause to generally poor reviews. Other games that tried hand-drawn images in games were either beautiful 2D games, or suffered for similar reasons of limitations in 3D.
