Space Hulk
summary
A small studio turns the Space Hulk board game into a 3D turn‑based puzzle that keeps the original’s brutal challenge while adding cinematic action shots, a full 3D cramped interior and progression systems. Development uses Unity with a reusable turn‑based framework, LOD work that nets 20–40% FPS gain, a 12‑person team, and a flamer template change that replaces board rules; approvals with Games Workshop and higher‑res art balloon budget but the build runs and demos well.
