THE SPHERE, 01 - VALLEY OF THE SPHERE
**************************************************************************************


=== STORY ===

One day, Lara heard something about a strange artifact located in Peru, a sphere that
was the most valued treasure of a hidden city of the Inca empire. The same source told
Lara that a guy named Johnny Dampier and his criminal group were behind the sphere
since the early 80s because they thought that this must have a kind of magic power.
And now, some years later, they found the entrance.

Lara, ignoring the warning, asked for the location of that city. This person gave her
a map and told that the only thing still remaining is a temple in a valley.

Note: there are 3 secrets in the level.

=== WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR ===

One of the main goals of this project is to offer a serie of levels that make you feel
like if you were playing Tomb Raider 1, but with Tomb Raider 3 engine (my favourite).

How many levels? I'm not sure yet, but I feel like more!

I spended weeks trying to get original sfx, organizing the main.sfx, converting into
the right format and trying to find a way for correcting the pitch and volume range of
the sfx in the base level, because most of the sounds in TR3 are pitched down (I guess
in order to save memory).

In the other hand, I had to put all objects and TRiggers with Win_TRscp, an old
software made by Turbo Pascal that contains a kind of programming language for putting
objects, effects, lights, TRiggers, etc...

But, in fact, it was funny. Very funny. And I hope that you really enjoy this level!

Thanks to everyone (I hope I do not forget anyone!) who made this level possible:
* Core Design
* Paolone
* Turbo Pascal
* E. Popov
* Darío Romero
* MontyTRC
* Raider Croft
* IceBerg
* Bart Ramekers

And, off course, thanks to you for playing this level!
