Garriott's Tabula Rasa
Science fiction MMORPG
Instance map: Fault Lever
"Once I
established the windowed control rooms and separate regions,
I worked towards creating a believable layout for how the
hammers were powered and how their energy was generated. The
Power Transmitter tunnels and Main Generator room sprang
from this idea. Situating them in relative position to the
external hammers was an important detail that while not
critical for gameplay or a fun layout, nevertheless I felt
was needed to make the environment feel real. Some players
may not notice the relationship at first but I believe these
details add up to a more complete experience."

of the Power Transmission tunnels firing an energy bolt to
the exterior hammer.
