Got all my storyboard thrown together into an animatic. Weโ€™ll see how this animation goes, itโ€™s pretty packed this time so the run time might end up even longer than I planned!

This is great:
Andy Sandham, responsible for a bunch of levels in TR3, TR4, and TR5, has published a video about how he made them.

So - a restored Kurtis Trent in the AOD remastered release, coming soon!! WHA!!????!!!! 

Gosh Iโ€™m having quite a complex response to this very welcome news. Getting to see a playable Kurtis with his original abilities is going to be astonishing for me personally - as I know it will be for many fans out there. 

Iโ€™ve longed for something like this for over twenty years as Kurtis was such a satisfying character to create and he never got a fair crack of the whip. When we were recording in London I was hoping for a voice performer who could give me a cool, tough homre, in the mould of Clint Eastwood, Michael Biehn (in Terminator) and Hugh Jackman. Well, I struck dead lucky with Eric Loren who caught him to perfection. Eric was the epitome of the Lone Disc Slinger Dude I wanted to see come to life.

Kurtis was created as an original to hold his own alongside Lara in AOD, of course, but he also carried the potential for his own spin off games and as such he could do so much more than was available to him in AOD when released. The inโ€“game FMVs gave some idea of what we all wanted to see and never did.

Ha ha, this is all sooooo exciting even though it also seems a lifetime ago now.

In the interim years of waiting Iโ€™ve been supported in maintaining my optimistic expectations by a very close circle of friends and colleagues when the likelihood seemed thin at best โ€“ so, a huge THANKS to you all guys! 

And now โ€“ GAME ON!

I spoke to Murti Schofield, writer of #TombRaider Angel of Darkness about the news of Kurtis Trent finally regaining his powers. Hereโ€™s what he had to say:

The image shows Lara Croft lying unconscious beneath rubble from the Great Pyramid. She is dressed in her iconic teal top and shorts, with her signature braid visible. The environment is dimly lit with an orange glow, suggesting the aftermath of destruction, possibly fire or molten lava nearby. Dust particles and falling debris add to the chaotic and intense atmosphere. The composition conveys a moment of vulnerability for the adventurer, emphasizing the peril of the scene.
