Tomb Raider ~ Temple of the Lost Baboon

FloTheMachine · 04-10-11, 18:04

500BC.
Deep in the Bolivian Jungle, an ancient tribe worshipped the baboon. They believed that they were a sacred animal, and that it would be punishable by death to harm one. The tribe elder, a shaman, ordered the tribe to build a temple in honour of these sacred animals.
However during one of her meditations, the shaman had a vision, in this vision a baboon cloaked in silver light appeared to her, and spoke words of great wisdom. Once emerging from this dream she immediately wanted a adornment to this baboon made, to take center place in this temple.
However, years later, the tribe still remained, advised by the silver baboon. However, when Europeans came to America to settle, they soon located the small tribe, and sold most into slavery, and began to pillage the temple.
The shaman at the time, a much wiser shaman than the one who had constructed this temple, knew the only way to protect their god was to cast a spell over the temple, which she did. This spell killed the settlers, preserving their temple, but the consequence of the spell was that the caster would die also. Without the shaman to guide them, the rest of the tribe quickly
died off. Myths tell that the angry souls of the tribesmen haunt the hallowed halls of the temple of the Lost Baboon.

The ancient temple has remained untouched for centuries.

Until now.

Beta Testing PBositions (Wont be needed for a while, but still.

The Temple of the Lost Baboon ~ 85%

Some of you may have noticed I have changed the name of my last project, (The Tomb of Ezekiel) to this, which I prefer tbh.
I know I've never released a TRNG level before, so I really want to make this good, which is why I'm taking my sweet time.

I know I'll get the answers to all my questions on here anyways.

Credits and such will be mentioned in the readme once the game is released.

Enjoy. I hope.

)

This is indeed a way better name

Wow, this looks really good.

The texturing is very nicely done, the lighting looks good, and it looks like there's going to be some fun gameplay too - love the fire pillars.

It's looking really nice!

I can tell you are putting A LOT of work into the texturing, which I love!
So far so good!

The screens have great lighting and atmosphere, well done.

I'm loving what I see here. Every screen oozes with atmosphere.

What are that underwater heads about? A sink sucking Lara into their mouths, where some kind of spiky teeth await to chew her?

That would be a rather cool trap!

Looking good Flo!

Good atmosphere and also different kinds of atmosphere (cool looking and hot/warm looking.)
