Here it is: The definitive documentary regarding the real locations in Cornwall and Devon, UK, used as backdrops for The Lost Crown. You'll get to see comparisons of the in-game scenes to the real places, along with general information and trivia.
The video is pretty long, so it is in five parts. The first part is ready to watch now, and I'll be uploading the others over the next few days. Please take the time to click through advertising, as each click goes a little way towards paying for the cost of producing this documentary!
Cheers!

Amun, thank you so much . This video was facinating and makes me want to go and play the game again. Fantastic documentary. I'm looking forward to the next part.

Amun

Thanks all!

I like the intermixing of video and screenshots from the game, as well as the brief info about the sites. I've heard your footsteps in the sand, AmunPtah, and I've seen your shadow!

I'm struck by how much the real town is grey, white and dark green -- the splashes of color (from a child's shirt or the hull of a boat) stand out just as the splashes of color stand out in the black and white images in the game.

Where is the tea-drinking-man in the pub? I missed him!

Cheers Becky!



Eek! In a few shots (I remember the exterior of Gruel's Antiques being one) you'll get a glimpse of a figure in a white T-shirt - me!



On a wet day, Polperro truly becomes Saxton. Many of the locations set outside Saxton are very green, as you'll see in the other parts of the documentary.

I have learned how to adjust photos to create the same black and white with colour splashes effect as in The Lost Crown. I'll have to post a few pictures...



I don't quite understand. Do you mean Bob serving drinks at the bar? ZeframCochrane over at the AdventureGamers.com forums liked the waitresses!

I actually started looking for you. I thought I saw you on a display case (I think in the museum), but realized it was a puppet or figuring. (I mean figurine.)

The tea-drinking-man refers to a much earlier thread when the game first came out. He responded when I announced that the Saxton Village Council was complaining that hordes of adventurers had descended on their town.

Thanks again Amun, that was great! Looking forward to part 3.

Really, great stuff. I wished the screenshots from the game would be shown for a few more seconds, so it would be easier to look at it and find the final marking points to compare it with the video. But anyway, pretty nice work that you did there.

I enjoyed this tremendously, very nice. Thank you.

Excellent work, Tom--I enjoyed it tremendously!
The locations are even more beautiful then the game if that's possible.

Amun, That was absolutely facinating . Fantastic job! I really enjoyed it!
