It was to be a very platform oriented level where Dan navigates around the outside of a huge steam powered machine avoiding moving pistons, jets of steam, etc. I recall we did a little bit of work blocking it out but ultimately it was still just a rough concept at the time we needed to rationalize our plan for completing the game. It's possible a few ideas made it into The Time Device - in fact that level (including the whole train section) was redesigned to accommodate the loss of The Great Machine.<br><br>Visually you can see some of the ideas that we had in mind for The Great Machine in the FMV sequence that introduces The Time Device (i.e. the pan over Zarok's underground domain).<br><br>Interestingly The Cathedral Spires level that they created at the end of MediEvil 2 had a very similar feel to our concepts for The Great Machine. Not sure whether that was an accident or by design (perhaps even subconsciously on Jason's part)!|author=Chris Sorrell}} | ||
The level appears in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', albeit in a very rough form. There are no enemies to fight or items to collect. | The level appears in the ''[[MediEvil ECTS Pre-Alpha]]'', albeit in a very rough form. There are no enemies to fight or items to collect. | ||
