Released in 1983, most games released at the time used "sprites", but this would limit game artists to how much detail they could achieve in their games. Dragon's Lair was a laser disc video game comprised of prerecorded animations, this would allow for a much greater design limit, but the downside, it limited the game play drastically.
Dragon's lair played out like a cartoon where the player could select choices based on the narrative's path.
Never the less, the recent Appstore re-release reignited the gaming classic to many people, old and new.
The idea for my game is for it to play out in similar fashion while I will render videos with multiple path options. This game has been very inspiring to my own work and I view it as a keystone in gaming history.
