Project Dane is a role-playing game with a heavy focus on action oriented gameplay. The setting is a fantasy world resembling the period of the Dark Ages. Societies are warring over ill-conceived differences, and you the player have to live in this state of decay. The gameplay being built is a focus on taking traditional role-play questing, but putting you in the shoes of an individual who will be doing more than just promoting their stats and abilities; they will also be developing their society's stance in the global conflict. So hack and slash away, fetch and scatter around an open-world setting in an attempt to normalize the balance of power in favor of your society.
Developing the overall vibe of a flat world took a little while. Originally the game's prototype was only designed with a location oriented lighting model. That is, every object would receive shading highlights based on a global position. However, showcasing variations in material types was much easier once lighting accounted for material based normal vectors as well as vertex based ones.
