No, we had never heard about Cryaotic before. Yea, it's pretty simple. We really wanted to do some 3D modelling, the game was almost an afterthought. Maybe we'll work on it more some day!
Yea we knew going in that we were biting more than we could chew but it had been a long time we hadn't modelled and felt like doing a bit of 3D, even if it meant we'd almost certainly run out of time. We'll scope better next time!
