Wow! I haven't been keeping up with the Amiga scene but this really got my attention. Hard to believe you can play this on an Amiga! Back in the 90s I did a bit of tinkering around with AMOS games and they didn't look like this! Great job!:-)

Thanks!
To be fair, this was not possible (on any platform/machine) in the 90s. Too many pre-rendered sequences that can't fit on a cd-rom (and its reading speed is very-very low) and HDDs have less storage capacity. Not to mention the render time and how huge the entire image-sequence is in raw/uncompressed format.
It is much "simpler" today with a machine that can render all this in real time and process it in an "acceptable" timeframe.
..it is possible that if it had been made at that time, it would probably have been made with a kind of stop-motion technique using real models. All in all, I would have liked to have seen something similar, but unfortunately, nothing like this is being made even these days! That was one of our reasons to try this out. :)
