sentences:  As the industry is dominated by 3D graphics, Kamitani saw that 2D art was "stagnating", and he wanted Vanillaware to be at the cutting edge of 2D art in gaming.The company uses proprietary programming toolsets inspired by Adobe Flash, as well as a graphic development process known as "tebineri" or "hand-shaping", which allows the artists to create characters and environments that look 3D but are rendered entirely from two-dimensional pixels.The entirely digital tools the team was using by 2008 took a while for Kamitani to get used to.
