CGI™: The Game

"CGI™: The Game" is a weird, badly made tech demo from a failed studio. Basically they body scanned a few "models", then tried to use the 3D objects to create a minimum viable product "game", but apparently could not work out how to do that properly.

None of that happened here, the scanned objects, which don't even look remotely decent, are jankily animated and the overall "game" that comprises this tech demo is junk. It failed. What do you do in the game? You'll spend more time cringing at how bad the graphics are (the only point of this tech demo) than actually fighting monsters. And there's no real motivation to do that, either. The graphics aren't great, really poor quality assets and bad model scans. That's understandably a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. Gaming is a primarily visual medium, and if developers want to succeed, they must understand that it's not an area for c…
