Jungle Ruins NG has been released

Story

Lara is exploring the jungle in search of temple ruins where she believes an old sun worship artefact may be found. When she finds the temple and the artefact she realises that there is far more going on than meets the eye. Instead of just keeping it and returning home, she decides to investigate further and heads off deeper into the jungle in search of a lost lake.

Jungle Ruins NG

It’s taken a year but it’s finally ready. A year to work on a finished game? Yes, I’ve learned a lot since Raider X and I released the original Jungle Ruins in August 2004. Geez has it been that long?

All being well it should be released by next weekend. Here are a few screenshots followed by a video of the opening flyby.

My Gold Collection

This makes it all worthwhile. There is about an ounce here. Not much in terms of hard cash for 18 months work, but it’s not about making money, it’s about collecting gold from different rivers, enjoying the countryside and staying in reasonable shape.

Kildonan Gold – Spring meet 26 Feb to 2 March

Brilliant weekend! Had a laugh, learned lots and I even found a crack with a gram in it! Everyone found gold and we panned around 7 gms between 4 of us.
