Although the information about the project is classified so as not to reveal the story, what we can do is talk a little about the development process.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using TEN Engine<\/a>, a new updated Tomb Raider Level Editor, we are going to develop a second part of Portal Runner<\/a>. With no need of more introduction, here we go with some of the development notes for future reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomb Engine test \/ Showcase:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the presentation of the project idea with our collaborators, we made a demonstration of how it works and how to work in Tomb Engine (TEN)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the graphics we can see the simple geometry of a stage, the texturing and then the lighting. None of this is a final product, just an early test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level Design:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Portal Runner 2 we will visit new scenarios, but also several places and worlds already known, therefore we will imitate the designs of other games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level Textures:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

We are going to extract and use textures from old games, to imitate the look and feel of those games. But there is a problem, at least with the textures of the Playstation 1 games, which are mostly 32px, while the old Tomb Raider ones are 24px (or 48px). Well, they are 8px X 4 = 32 and the TR ones are 8px X 3 = 24. That is, multiples of 4 when in TR they are multiples of 3, therefore they have to be converted to multiples of 4 without changing the appearance, because then when putting them next to other textures the image limits can noticeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the textures will remain as they were originally, but manually enhanced with the “nearest” resampling method. We will only add a few new variants. But as soon as we see that they work well, we may remaster them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
