Tron: Gridlocked (W-I-P project thread)

[Polyfemus]

This project started technically around Fall of last year (2013) but the hours of actual work I've done so far is only about 170 hours of 3d modelling some interior pieces for one stage/level of this mod (mostly because I kept making mistakes with my 3d models it was annoying). Point being that at the time of writing this project is in the very early stages. But I've already done a lot of drafting and conceptual work and if time I'll be doing even more 3d modelling and texturing work.

 

INTRODUCTION:

TRON stands for The Real-Time Operating system Nucleus. It's the digital "world tree" by which the entire digital grid world exists. TRON is the megastructure that houses the Source Code which is essentially the run-time code of everything that exists in the grid. For what reason did the pre-war government create this sophisticated digital environment? Perhaps it was a prototype for war games simulations for military applications. But why are there still people plugged into the grid 200+ years after the bombs?

 

The Courier has been commissioned to uncover the secrets that lay inside this underground facility but has to jack into the grid to unlock the seals. But will they be able to make it out alive or are they gridlocked?

 

Neon Labyrinth tilesets:

These interior tilesets will be used for a "Labyrinth" style maze level. These series of pictures show a small demo that shows some of the models I've made so far. The lighting is definitely a work in progress. I'll be making custom 3d modelled cubic light sources later.

As time allows I'll be working on more variations of the Labyrinth interior pieces.

 

I don't know what else to write. If anyone's got suggestions, questions, comments I'll be happy to read them.
