  • Patent number: 11423605
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present specification provide systems and methods to provide a 3D experience in a 2D game, while using the same underlying gaming engine. A 2D game space representing an axonometric projection is overlaid with 3D visuals, in a way that the original 2D simulation can still be used to run the game. In embodiments, a set of custom tools are used to map the 2D ground plane to a 3D ground plane. The 2D objects are then mapped into 3D objects. The 3D game environment corresponding to the original 2D game layout is created at backend by one or more individuals, using custom graphic tools. Dynamic player remap in 3D is generated in real time while the player engages with the 2D game. Therefore, while a player is playing the 2D game, a dynamic equivalent of the game in 3D is rendered.
