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.
This was the realized form of shadows to display in my orthographic yet three-dimensional perspective. I had gone through many different options, ranging from everything having rectangle forms for an absence of light, to every object having a dissipating conical form extending out from them. In the end I decided to merely have the representation of the object directly used for the shadow mapping.
