A few years ago we decided to make a 3D game with 2D sprites of characters and hand-drawn textures. Such complications allowed us to make a variety of gameplay in one unique style. Thanks to the unity of the visual style, the transition from third-person view to first-person view feels like an interesting effect, rather than a switch between two different games. The game's brilliant final visuals are the result of shaders, particles, and the work of tech art team.
