its propably done using either papervision or sandy3d,- and booth require AS3 if you want some serios boost. from the page it says also: There is also from booth an older AS2 version available but even those wont work on the PSP as the PSP has a flash player 6 kit (Sony never licensed a newer version so far).

Main characters usually take months to finish because the concept of the character often changes many times throughout the course of a game's development. Alice:Madness Returns is a great example of this, it is a sequel to a 10 year old game. What would the new, modern looking character look like? It was a difficult task…

Customer: I'll take a copy of XYZ game there (points that the new game behind the counter) Clerk: Oh hey it says here we have a used copy for $5 less do yo want that…
