The Lost Keys [PC] ––– Cancelled Beta

The Lost Keys was an action-adventure game in development by 2Digital Productions in Dubai, and scheduled for release in 2003 for PC. The game took heavy influence from old-school platformers, including Crash Bandicoot. Unfortunately, the project was never released for unknown reasons. From one of the developer’s archived blogs, we can learn more about what the game was going to be about:

Sarman Khalid (Software Engineer): The Lost Keys is a commercial 3D third-person action game for kids of ages 10-16. The game has 10 different levels with 3 playability styles. It was built with Tyfirty along with its level editing tool. The game was released in Dubai in June 2003. The game can be played with the joypad or the keyboard and it also enables the player to save and load his game. The level editor of this game was also built in-house by me.

Technical Features:

• Geo mip mapping.
• Particle systems.
• OBB collision detection.
• Scene partitioning for optimization.
• Optimization by grouping duplicated objects.
• Game saving and loading.
