It is day 14 of #AmigApril
Some days ago I discovered OpenLara, an opensource-implementation of the first Tomb Raider engine and its port to AmigaOS.
It is just a demo with only two levels and (at least in my case) no sound. But it is fully playable at stable 30 fps. I never thought this (unfairly tuned) Amiga is able to push so many polygons

I found a pretty funny bug in Tomb Raider 3 Remastered. Lara drowns at the top of the waterfall, and then her corpse screams as she goes over the falls.
1996 noch unvorstellbar gewesen, 2025 Realität geworden - Lara Croft in Tomb Raider als Techdemo für den Commodore Amiga erschienen.
Having fun with game design today. I'm still watching the videos of the Tomb Raider level designer. "all this is gonna do is it's going to be confusing for the player, now look I'm the player and I've gone up here and it lead to confusion and I made that level." Love it.
Also, flicking through my screenshots of Mirror's Edge, I love how you can very clearly see how they use colors. The red, white and yellow is iconic but they also do a lot with blue shades.

Fine prematura per #TombRaider sul piccolo schermo? Rumors indicano la serie Amazon come "morta".

Interesting find: Andy Sandham, who was a level designer in the original Tomb Raider series, plays his own levels. He is not happy. :D This is a great follow-up to a video I watched somewhen where bad level design was explained with Tomb Raider as an example. Andy's video titles sound a bit clickbaity but it's actually him playing his levels, dry self-ironic commentary and some game design explanations. Apparently there's 3 videos so far. https://www.youtube.com/@theunrealtakeaway7219/videos

We're back with Tomb Raider Tuesdays. Time for more Tomb Raider 4, and our gross incompetence that passes for gameplay.
New article!
See how games deal with language deciphering through the lens of #archaeolinguistics — from Indy to Lara Croft to Nathan Drake.

Giving AOD another chance. If anything it gives me an excuse for some virtual photography. The Photo Mode is pretty basic, but we have programs like Krita that can fix that.
So it seems like the #TombRaider TV series has been canceled? The latest #LaraCroft effort might be just dead in the water:

Its only been reported to Daily Mail so far, but its sad news regardless:

A former Core Design developer is taking a nostalgic deep dive into his work on Tomb Raider Chronicles. Andy Sandham, who worked as a level designer on the Black Isle levels, is revisiting the levels he created almost three decades ago.
Spending the day playing through TR4. I’m almost at the end but my lord, the ending levels are a bit dire after the Alexandria levels! #TombRaider #Gaming
Did a bit of Peertube load testing yesterday by importing my Tomb Raider I Remastered series! It held up pretty well.
