A big part of the challenge of writing this continuation has been trying to anticipate what Core Design were going to do next. Its only after very closely looking at what (little) they said on TR7 (AOD2) that you begin to understand more of what they had planned. Forming a base for our story from the very start were the comments made by a key member of Core Design. In it, he talks about what led up to AOD, what happened in AOD and what may happen after. Of course, its the parts before and after that have required the most amount of research.
For some aspects, not even loads of research and theorising can guarantee we successfully anticipate what Core would have done but since the whole point of this is to continue as it was meant to go on, we’ve tried our best. However, the story will also contain some very challenging ideas, existing characters will be involved in significant plot twists, axed characters will now be included and some new characters of our own all come together in TR:Reborn to create its own unique plot dynamic.
As the project advances, I hope to release some of our own research material (a kind of internet based bibliography if you will!) in order to give you an oppurtunity to learn what we’ve learnt. It really is fascinating stuff to research for answers surrounding the the themes began by AOD.
