Garriott's Tabula Rasa
Science fiction MMORPG
Instance map: Fluxite Mines
From a window in
the Ore Prep Chamber,
players can see a foreshadowing of a future area in their
travels. The Vapor Chasm was originally intended to be
filled with plumes of fluxite dust charging the air with
electricity. The players were to experience this
natural danger in contrast to the Bane minions in previous
areas. At a late point in development, the particle
effects were cut and instead I utilized the existing lava
assets. The idea of vapor plumes was still executed
with smoke effects though more dark than originally
intended.
