Now that Temple Of The Dragon is done and in the final testing stages, I'm working out the next one.


Comments appriciated on this outline - would you want to play it?


Lara is co-opted onto the SETI Task Force to investigate strange tales from the mountains of a South American Country.

Her travels take her to the Valley of something or other where she discovers an alien ship.

ect ect ect.



The idea is to build an entire level in an organic alien ship so few or no metal type features. Imagine, a ship made of living flesh!!!!!


Que spectacular opening shots, colourful lights and strange designs.


I was thinking of using the Demigods as aliens cos they fire lasers and sort of look the part.


Game story - well Lara must rescue a captured earth scientist (Van Croy?) and destroy the ship b4 it takes off. So theres a use for the mine animation and the earthquake.

This will not be a Area 51 clone.

Since posting this thread I've cobblled together some VERY BASIC opening rooms with a bit of the alien ship and Lara in a not very dangerous, but looks good, fix!!!!!!!!

A Saucerful Of Secrets is the name of the second album of Pink Floyd. The title track has many psychodelic moments, purely instrumental, SFX and etc... Good for atmosphere! Donīt know if you can use it in a level due to copyright, though....

Yes indeed - if Lara fails in her quest will she Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun?

Propable not wise to use copyright music but as we don't sell these levels would it be illigal to do so?
