This site is about filmation. The isometric technique employed in knight lore, alien8 and pentagram.

It is not concerned about the history of the game and does not provide tips on completing the games, it is about documenting the isometric engine. It includes the following:

• A Windows filmation viewer. This application allows you to view in detail each game, including an interactive map, room analysis, room object characteristics, special objects
• Editor built into the viewer to allow the modification of Knight Lore and Alien 8 rooms and the creation of new snapshot files
• Details on the file structure used in the games
• Maps
• Export files. These are generated from the Windows viewer and describe the games and the map/rooms/objects in various file formats: raw output, debugged output, XML, IsoCis. XML is useful as a means for transforming to other formats, e.g. HTML rendering, your own file format for creating your own game. IsoCis is a isometric 3D engine created by me and is a c++ based engine containing most things required for generating an isometric game, such as object management, timers, display, room/map layout
• IsoCis tutorial covering the creation of Knight lore
