Experiment: 3D in Ren'Py?!

Aebard here. We've got this past week's development update on it's way, but to hold you over, here's a little experiment I got sidetracked on... ^^;

While working on Episode 2, I had a stray through about whether or not having actual, real-time 3D background would be possible, and that thought ate away at me until I couldn't help myself.

So I did a bit if projection mapping and 3d modeling of one of our Episode 2 backgrounds.

And then after a lot of trial and error...

...I managed to pull it off!

Now, will this be used in future episodes of the game? Who knows! Maybe.

For those who want a more in-depth look as to how this is pulled off in Ren'Py, here's a little write up I did.

So what do you all think? Worth investigating further for future episodes / games?
