Its not SH4, its the train from one of the multiplayer levels in UT2K4.ssoass said:I'm not sure about that actually, it doesn't have the same feel/style as Silent Hill 3/4 at all.
The subways in Silent Hill 3/4 are pretty realistic.
This.... isn't, it's stylistically different.
http://forum.gamesradar.com/viewtopic.php?p=3296645&highlight=#3296645Hi all,
I'm Marko Hautamäki and I composed the music for LotL game level backgrounds and most DVD features, and my music also appeared in several trailer videos that can be found in YouTube.
I am preparing a press statement about my involvement in the game development and this is also why I registered to this forum. This is very bad publicity for me as a composer. Thus I'm trying to do everything I can to clear my own name.
There have been speculations that the game contains stolen music. Majestic Studios project leader Steve Bovis assured me this is not the case and I can 100% guarantee the material I was personally involved in. I have the original project files of every music piece I made for the game to prove this.
I will post the press release here as well.
Meanwhile, I will try to check this forum every now and then. If you have any questions I'll try to answer them but please bear in mind that a) I'm bound by NDA, and b) apart from music I have practically no information on the game creation process. I got involved in the project in May 2006 and finished my part in December 2006.
If anyone has actually found stolen music in the game, I would very much like to know about it!
Sincerely,
Marko Hautamäki
I was gone yesterday... busy with stuff.Illuminati said:More screenshots and if you can make a fraps movie please!
My box was crushed in shipment. XDTalamius said:The funniest thing is an unopened copy of the game may be worth something in a few years. :lol

A graphic adventure relies on it's characters, environment and story to form an immersive world.
This game has none of those elements.
Between the three of us we researched, wrote, designed, animated, scripted and developed the whole game from home," Laurence Francis told his local paper, the Kent Messenger, in a recent interview.

Love that part
Wired said:I don't know what you mean, they are obviously very talented seeing as they've managed to duplicate the scenery and graphics of other games and media exactly. I think we can all agree that that takes some real talent.

Hmm... why would he be in South America?Benedict said:It seems that Steve Bovis, is responding on the Gamesradar forum and somewhat threatening the music guy...

Hi Marko. I am posting here to confirm this is not the case and to exclude you from any character assassinations which appear to be happening.
We might of used some freeware sound effects that some gamers will recognise, but Marko did contribute all his own music for this excellant game, which despite a few silly little issues that you all seem to be getting so worked up and excited about - I (and the team) are extremely proud of.

I advise you to keep the NDA in mind at all times Marko. I am currently in South America, but have advised my solicitor (lawyer) to keep watching.

But let us look at it this way.....
You must all know the famous Big Ben clock in London.
How many people have taken photographs of their family members or friends standing in front of Big Ben?
Do they credit Charles Barry, the original designer of the strucutre for their photographs? No, of course they don't!
Now you mightm say a photograph is non-commerical use, but what about ITN news who use the image of Big Ben for their commerical news programming? Again, without credit.
All I was really doing was taking photographs of my journeys through virtual worlds - had I ripped out the textures and re-assembled the 3D models that of course would of been another issue.
I really don't want to say too much as my solicitor has advised me for now to be quiet. However, I know some gamers can get over-excitied about things and I thought it worth stating it for what it really is - no more harmless than a tourist taking photographs.

SteveBovis, if you are who you say you are, please reply to my email and I'll confirm your identity.
SB said:Well we were based in Maidenhead.
Some you keen-eyed readers might of spotted the "were" in that last statement.
That's right, let this forum be the 1st official place where I give you the exclusive news that Majestic Studios is no more.
We are closed. Thanks for that people, thanks to your wild gossip and possible slander ruining my company that was only just starting to make some great waves in the field of professional software development.
The Shadow said:I don't know what to say, Steve, have you made any money out of LotL?
THe money started to come in. Thankfully I had paid for my holiday from the first royalty payments - and if I can find some work here I might actually stay here. I think my coding skills and graphical knowledge could be some use here in South America.
I've no doubt it was your intention, but surely the small scale sales it has achieved haven't turned any profit? How were you planning to get publisher funding for a sequel?
