As Tomb Raider celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, I wanted to share my little contribution to the celebration by sharing a preview of the story I've been working on:

Hi all! Iโm on the train back from Derby now. It was such a magical event, I met incredible people and I met the level designer behind Tomb Raider 3.
I was told a lot about London. Apparently the key on top of the drill in Aldwych wasnโt supposed to be there and was supposed to be in a safety deposit box. Which is why that key is placed so weirdly.
Luds Gate was supposed to be twice as long with the level continuing from the bit at the end with the giant shaft where you jump across to end the level
All Hallows was supposed to start after sliding down the slope near the bell that hit the guy in Thames Wharf.
The person who made Tomb Raider 3 Aldwych said that he accidentally put the wrong colours on the railway tracks which is why the red and the green are mixed up on the track when the train comes.
In Aldwych where you put in the Solomon Keys there was supposed to be a puzzle which is why there are moving plinths above each key. Also the masonic hammer was supposed to be used in the puzzle and not on a random door.
In Aldwych the reason why there is a random pit of water before the masonic section is because they wanted to stop any enemies following you as water kills the enemies.
Really interesting facts there. ๐

You've probably seen it already: here's the full art of the cover album I created for the Tomb Raider 30th Anniversary LO-FI collection! I am still so thrilled I got to work on this exciting project, I can't thank Crystal Dynamics & Flying Wild Hog enough for their trust ๐

2013 reboot was way better. This game have so old schol mechanics that must stay behind. Actobatics, guns. No. Bring 2013 reboot gameplay again. Pass

This is the woman that deserves all the credit and praise Toby Gard recieves. She fleshed out the Classic Lara Croft we know & love today. Crystal Dynamics foolishly made it seem like Rihanna Pratchett was the first female writer in the Tomb Raider series...which is a lie.
As we celebrate 30 years of Tomb Raider, letโs not forget Vicky Arnold, the writer who gave Lara Croft her backstory, personality, and iconic dialogue
A rare photo of the woman who helped bring Lara to life, shared online for the first time from my archive โฅ๏ธ
