Grand(er) Gallery leading to the King’s Chamber

By Updates No Comments

To give you a glimpse of the added resolution and detail in Riddle of the Sphinx: The Awakening, here’s a scene from the Grand Gallery in the Great Pyramid. This view is looking down toward the opening of the Ascending Passageway.

The ancient Egyptians build this as a bit of a mousetrap serving many practical and, in their mind, spiritual functions. Turning around, this walk way leads to the King’s Chamber, believed to have housed Khufu’s (Cheop’s) mummified body. The metal braces on the telescoping stone walls now features more accurately the degradation of those edges as it currently exists.

Compare with the legacy screen shot, below…

The conversion process is humming along nicely but requiring a lot of attention to detail. So we are working around the clock to get you The Awakening and think you’ll appreciate the attention to detail and enhanced gameplay!

Furniture Chamber Comparison

By Scene Comparisons No Comments

Check out a comparison of the Furniture Chamber between the legacy and HD rendering. The original employed a procedural fog to simulate dust, however we felt as though that washed out the scene. In Riddle of the Sphinx: The Awakening the dust and other environmental effects are live, and much more subtle. The level of detail, dramatic lighting, and more realistic setting lend to an even more immersive adventure experience.
