So fun to hear about the level design philosophy from classic Tomb Raider

Got my level to run with a controller! Working on some tweaks, some new cameras and all-new musical cues for a little update to “The Idol of Durga”

Amazing to see these details on one of my favorite Tomb Raider levels: floating tablecloths, cargo in disarray.

Lara Croft hears the crunch of foliage in the primeval jungle. Friend or foe? Is she on the verge of a remarkable discovery… or must she prepare to be a one-woman-extinction-event? #laracroft #tombraider

This room is probably the place that’s stood out most in my memory of The Last Revelation, along with the train and Cleopatra’s Palaces

With more #TombRaider remasters coming up, I’m excited to see what beta/cut content makes its way back into the games.

For other #TRLE builders out there, do you have pictures of your own beta / unreleased level content?

Here are scenes from “The Idol of Durga” over time!

Check out the latest updates to my #TRLE level "The Idol of Durga." Based on feedback from players, I've added spinning timers for timed levers, some new backtracking shortcuts, and some additional information in Lara's Journal.

A wonderful level that can be seen as an extension to the 1st 2 levels of Tomb Raider 3. The environment has been crafted very well. You get lots of story behind some of the statues and textures. Recommended.
