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

This is a challenge I dreamed up together with the admin team for TEN. Level builders, if you want to try TEN, now’s your chance!

Off to teach today: 1) Talud-tablero architecture at Teotihuacan, 2) diversity is key to the scientific method

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!

Four images in a square of the same scene with slightly different styles: Lara Croft wearing a teal tank top stands in front of a yellow Indian temple with a carving of Shiva below a tall temple dome. Waterfalls cascade from the temple windows and into a river below.

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. Check it out here: trcustoms.org/levels/3732 #TombRaider

#TRLE #15 The Idol of Durga by Cbl 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. #TombRaider
