AKA DD4: Canadian Boxing Day

The fourth game in Alan Caudel's Dummy Duck series, and an early experiment with claymation.

Background

Alan Caudel:

The game's alternate title, "DD4: Canadian Boxing Day" was a parody of the movie "ID4: Independence Day" which was popular at the time.

The idea for a claymation game probably came from playing The Neverhood. I built clay models for each of the characters and animated them. Digital cameras really weren't around much back then, so I had to take all the photos for each frame of animation with a regular film camera and wait for the film to be developed. Then I scanned in each photo and imported them into Game-Maker.
