This case study explores Lakshya Digital’s role in supporting Toys for Bob, a prominent video game developer under Activision, in reimagining the classic PS1 title Spyro the Dragon for a new generation. The project showcased Lakshya’s ability to provide end-to-end content development solutions, working closely with the client to meet tight deadlines and achieve high-quality outcomes.
Transforming classic maps for a modern audience with new levels.
Toys for Bob sought to reimagine their iconic title, Spyro the Dragon, in Unreal Engine, requiring a full-scale update of the original game maps with only limited supporting concepts. The goal was to transform these maps into fully realized, updated levels that could meet the expectations of a modern audience while adhering to production deadlines and quality standards.
As Toys for Bob approached critical milestones for their beta release, they faced significant challenges in meeting their production deadlines. They required a team capable of independently handling the transformation of the original game maps into updated levels in Unreal Engine with minimal oversight to help them meet tight deadlines while maintaining high standards.
Lakshya Digital offered a collaborative, cost-effective solution by assembling a talented team of game industry veterans and skilled artists from both US and India. This team was tasked with creating Unreal Engine levels from the original game maps, using a well-defined production pipeline to streamline the process. The solution included pre-production planning, asset creation, and map building, allowing the Toys for Bob team to focus on higher-level tasks rather than managing intricate details.
Lakshya Digital handled 3D modeling and texturing for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy by creating assets and environments based on the original game maps. The team used 3D by software to develop high-quality models, while leveraging Unreal Engine for level integration. Lakshya's artists focused on building and texturing game assets, ensuring smooth workflow and seamless integration into the final game environment.
Lakshya Digital worked on set dressing in Unreal Engine for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, handling full map development, asset creation, and world-building. The team used pre-production planning and 3D modeling to create and integrate assets, ensuring seamless gameplay. Lakshya’s efforts allowed the client to focus on broader tasks while Lakshya managed the technical and visual aspects of the game environment.
Lakshya Digital developed a comprehensive production pipeline that included pre-production planning, asset listing, proxy modeling, and full map development. This approach enabled the creation of play able characters and environments early in the process, facilitating game play verification and allowing Toys for Bob to review functional maps rather than managing detailed level intricacies
Our process began with establishing a clear production pipeline, including pre-production planning and asset creation. The team developed proxy models and built out the entire map for gameplay verification before full-scale production began. This allowed Toys for Bob to focus on overseeing a complete and functional map, while Lakshya handled the detailed work of 3D asset creation and level management. With over 25 artists working across studios in India and the US, Lakshya effectively managed tight turnaround times and supported the client in meeting their production milestones.
