Iterative desgin methods are used to test objectives when it's applied in a game by creating a rapid prototype, performing playtest, and revised. This activity repeatedly until the game is considered decent to be implemented. Implementation of 3D characters needed to create assets of characters that involved in the battle story scenario.
