The Scarlet Pimpernel is a 3D first-person sneaker based on Baroness Orczy's fictional character Sir Percy Blakeney, an English nobleman who rescues French aristocrats from the guillotine during the French Revolution.
The coding for the game has included writing the entire level compilation toolchain (BSP compiler, portal generator, visibility calculator, lightmap calculator, brush beveller, collision tree compiler and automatic navigation mesh generator).
They seek him here, they seek him there,
Those Frenchies seek him everywhere.
Is he in heaven or is he in hell?
That damned elusive Pimpernel.
The year is 1793. In France, the revolution has reached its zenith. The jails are full, as thousands of "enemies of the revolution" suffer Robespierre's Grande Terreur and the dreaded guillotine. Citizen denounces citizen, and everywhere cries of horror fill the air as more heads roll.
In this time of darkness, one man stands tall against the forces of evil - but no-one knows his name. As mysterious as he is legendary, the Scarlet Pimpernel will risk life and limb time and again to rescue the innocent from the brink of death - unless they catch him...
