Most of my work on The Legend of Danny Crask focused purely on 3D modeling. Geometry and materials were very basic as everything would go through a complex post-process to make the models look like 2D sprites. 3D Sprites, as tech became know as, was developed in-house and allowed the game to look 2D while retaining all the benefits of being a fully 3D game.
The game received significant attention from a number of publishers, and was in very late stage talks with a large US publisher. However due to the publishers parent company suddenly shutting the publisher down over-night, we decided to cancel the project.
