For example, in Toy Story, you see turned into giant palu and bores. Another example is at the beginning of the trailer you can see Sora shoot arrows and then keyblade turned into bazooka, so there are 2 extant. There are also some layer to the question changed: you start on the first phase of the changes, and if successfully perform combo, then the next change will happen."

"There Is the decision to move to the external engine ... Unreal Engine 4. So we move to the engine. Unfortunately just a little time used to re-create from the beginning, so time slightly backwards, but this is the decision of the company, so can not be avoided."
"We are the plan of the period that we need to make its content at the beginning of the project and enough details. After that, we also will require additional manpower and the petition had been submitted to the central office and approved, but internal employees are limited and there are many different projects in our company, so unfortunately the plan time finishing failed. So we must compromise with the appropriate time with the company ... the company that took the decision, so unfortunately sometimes outside my control."
