Further to my previous thread detailing my audio interview with Jonathan Boakes and Matt Clark on my podcast The Investigative Author (available on iTunes and at http://www.tomrbaynham.com/), I am pleased to announce that I have uploaded a sizable collection of photographs of the real locations used to create the games The Lost Crown and Barrow Hill. You can find the gallery of pictures by going to http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomrbaynham/ and choosing a set from the right hand side. I have grouped the photographs into as sensible sets as I can think of, with photographs of each location grouped together. There are currently nearly 500 images of the real locations uploaded, and I'm uploading new images constantly. I would welcome your comments on the photographs, and if you use Flickr and want to share the pictures let me know!

The seal only had one eye and would beg for food from the boats as they were unloading. Because he has only one eye he was called Nelson and he was a much loved resident of our little town. Welcome to Cornwall.
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

Lovely pictures that show just what Cornwall has to offer, thank you, I bought Lost Crown as soon as it came out. As soon as I got to "Saxton" I recognised Polperro!!! and Duloe church and the antique shop!! Only after I went on the website did I realise that the tower was the base of our very own Banjo pier. It was built in the shape of a banjo to help stop the river silting up. Looe is a very old town and we have plenty of ghosts.

If only it was easy as that! Jonathan says he tore his hair out removing drainpipes and people. Just as an example, look at the scene at "The Bear" end of the harbour wall, where the setps up to the cottages are and the seagull thats calls out. In real life there are actually rails there (image) but in-game there are not. Jonathan carefully blended them out! Replicated that by a factor of several thousands for railing, drainpipes, even whole buildings...
