Today I’m going to introduce you guys to the project that I’ve been working on, as Lead Level Designer for a couple of months now, parallel to my Crysis map, Vulcano.
Lost World Returns, as the name suggests for those who have seen the Jurassic Park movies, is all about dinosaurs. Gamers trough out the world are anxious to play a decent game/mod with dinosaurs on it, a serious game where dinosaurs play roles other than simple shooting practice targets, with a very well thought eco-system, where herbivorous calmly eat on large green hills, while large carnivorous hunt on their territory, and so on and so forth.
LWR will feature environments such as Hills, Beach’s, Dense jungles, Caves, and mountains.
LWR team (Also known as the DIG team) is composed by a group of very talented individuals, among the usual 3D artists, Concept artists, Level Designers, Programmers (…, etc) we also have two paleontologists and advisor’s, music composers, former CryTek employees, and people already working professionally in the Games industry. We are all working as a whole, to deliver gamers a brand new experience, in a universe where Dinosaurs still exist.
As a team, we are obviously still green, but we are getting organized as we give the first steps in the preparation and pre-production.
Using the phenomenal CryEngine2, by CryTek, the possibilities are endless. Even CryTek itself, barely scratched the capabilities and possibilities of this awesome engine, which quality is unparalleled.
Pre-production has already started, plus some content has already been made.
For those wondering about copyright infringements, we already paid a visit to a lawyer and came to the conclusion we had to change some of the stuff, including the storyboard, and move away from the Jurassic Park universe, that way avoid either getting sued or seeing our project shut down by the ones who own JP copyrights.
Next month, we will be featured on PCGamerUK, we gave them some exclusive and exciting new screenshots, so make sure to check the mag out! 
Meanwhile, I’ll leave you here one of those screenshots, of a group of Albertosaurus attacking a group of Brachiosaurus.

Hey guys!
It has been a busy couple of weeks for me!
Finally, after a down-time of almost a month, I have successfully migrated to another Hosting SP, as the other one, was giving me some strange problems, although I have to say a huge thanks to CoreSP, for hosting my webpage this long, for free!
Anyways, I’ve lost more than 2 months of blog posts, and you also might find the pages of the blog a bit outdated, so please bare with me as I’ll try to update all the sections of my blog on the next few days, plus I’ll have to re-upload my online gallery, which should take up to a week.
Meanwhile, I’ve been working on my ICMC Crysis map, I have some nice progresses to show, but right now my main objective is to get this page back on tracks, then I’ll start posting some screenshots of the map.
Thanks, and again I apologize for the down-time period. Stay tunned, and keep checking back.
I’m having some problems with my hosting company.
I lost all my blog posts from the last month, is a very anoying situation and I’m trying to fix it as soon as possible.
I’m sorry for any inconvenience.
