Tomb Raider: Labyrinth

------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Story-

Legend has it, that somewhere on the island of crete was built a great labyrinth, by order of King Minos. This fearful construction was said to be huge, and dangerous. It was said to play host to a great beast, with the body of a man and the head of a bull, the minotaur. The story of theseus and the minotaur is well known, and it is said theseus slayed the minotaur and escaped the labyrinth.

Lara is not so sure. Under the ussumption that all Myths begin with fact, Lara has set out to discover the Labyrinth of Minos, and find out the real reason for its construction. Is there really a bull-headed man-beast lurking on the island of crete? Or will the truth be sinister yet? Only lara can tell us...

---------------------------------------------------------
-The Idea-
Okay, well I hope you found that interesting

I have finally decided to announce my current project, cos i just couldn't keep it in anymore. I have been working on this for some time now and thought i should tell everyone!

Now my track record for releasing levels is, frankly, appaulling. So i am making no promises. I do not promise that this level will ever be realeased. I am also not setting a date, if it gets finished, it will be when i finish it. Despite that i am confident that this level will have more success than my other levels, because i've learnt from my mistakes, and have decided to keep this one nicely within my bounds.

This level will be exactly that: 1 level. I made this decision to make sure i didn't get into anything i couldn't finish, as i normally do. It may not be long, but i am pouring everything i have learnt in nearly 5 years on and off of using the editor, and hopefully this time i will have something to put my name to.

I have been creating a lot of objects recently for this level, and have finished plannin out the entire thing, and began making the rooms. Due to the nature of this level, a plan was extremely nessacary. All the objects i am creating are being released as i go, and should the level not get finished, i will release everything i can, just incase anyone wanted to see it.

So yeah thats the general Idea... Now for the bit you really want...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-Screenshots- (click 'em to make them bigger)

Now again due to the nature of this level screenshots are difficult to take.. But i do have a few, and also i have some of the title flyby...

Title Flyby

Objects-

Well thats all for now. Sorry the pictures are a bit crap, my computer is having a spasm, and everything is coming out reallly dark :/....

Oh my...

It sounds very promising, and I love the concept art!! It's very atmospheric!

Amazing! I don't think that other level with the same name is a problem, especially considering that other level was horrible and no one really knows it.

*PH* · 28-11-09, 21:53

good luck with the project- the screens look great

Well, we can considered that "The labyrinths" is different from "Labyrinth" as graphically at the atmosphere of game.

It sounds really good

.
I love the trap too...

Your project sounds very good

even if history is classic I like this

.
I wanted to make a level with a labyrinth for my first project but finally I scraped.
I am impatient to see more screenshots

Thanks Guys

I'll post more screenshots when i get them, but my computer is being a real nightmare, i can't get any good looking screens. Plus there is very little to take screens of, not many open spaces in a laybrinth... lol.

Thanks for the interest, I'll be sure to keep you posted!
