Lost World Returns is first person action and adventure modification bringing to you something unique and refreshing to the crysis community.
Disclaimer
To clarify their position, they do not represent a Jurassic park modification nor do they have any affiliation with the franchise. They are however set in the same universe for story telling purposes and are using non copyrighted events/names to base our story.
They wanted to keep some relevance so people can relate to the whole aspect they all know and love, but at the same time wanted to break free and develop something new and refreshing. They are using the final end events that happened on the first Jurassic park film to base and branch off with our very own and unique story.
All development activities that share familiarities with the Jurassic park franchise are of non profit and are purely implemented for the story setting.
Story overview
The incident at 'Site A' three years ago was a disaster for Mr. Hammond and his genetics company. They were all but bankrupt as the company’s European, American and Far Eastern investors one by one accepted their losses and withdrew. The Costa Rican government alleged the animals had been destroyed and as bankruptcy proceedings and litigation dragged out to months then years, the company's facilities and equipment on the island had been stricken from the ledger, believed lost.
The remoteness of the location prevented casual visitors, and gradually the incident and the existence of Site A faded from the public spotlight. However, local accounts proved contrary to the picture painted by the mainland authority.
Only a wealthy Japanese conglomerate, one of the principal early investors in Hammond's ventures, still supports him and his new company, Genetic Research and Experimental Technologies, Inc. Despite Site A being left to rot, both companies are still very eager to protect their investment and to find the truth.
GRET now have a plan to clandestinely visit Site A in an effort to discover what really happened. As a paleontological behavioral theorist, you have been invited to join the first expedition to return to the island with a small team of researchers and a protective mercenary unit. Since the episode three years ago, the company's facilities were abandoned and the island has been left to nature’s devices.
No one knows what you may find there.
they are working on a tech demo, and they hope to aim to have it delivered during the end of the year.
They are having a few difficulties with the animation department and are figuring out the best methods to turn their dinosaurs into AI characters using the advanced and somewhat demanding animation system crysis uses.
They are always looking for any new talented individuals novice or professional. If you would like to work with this global team, they are looking for coders and flow graph users as well as animators (all skill levels).
If interested, go on their forum and send them a PM, your actions may help speed up the development process.
