Fashion Solitaire

Large Animal was next to take a stab at the fashion market with their casual game, based around the concept of solitaire. In addition to the matching clothing to models mechanic, Large Animal took a feature from one of their previous titles as well. Snapshot Adventures was a game they showcased at Demo Night V and featured models that could be modified by the player to create their own unique birds for use in the game. Taking this tech, Large Animal applied it to this game to allow people to create their own fashions to apply on the models in the game.
