May 2023 Website Updates

Hello all! Hope you are all well. We're going to hop back in with a round-up of changes on the VL website within the month of May.

New Pages:

• Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business, Tomb Raider 2: Golden Mask, Tomb Raider 3: The Lost Artefact and The Times Exclusive Level received a new page each, 'Fan Corner', to feature box art recreations by Stjb17.
  
• Tomb Raider 1 Model Artwork - used to feature imagery of the in-game character and enemy models.
  
• The official live models now have their own individual pages under their respective games' section. Although we liked having one page dedicated to the official models, we felt that it would be better to have a page for each one that didn't take you away from the games' section. This also cut down on how much would need to be loaded on one page.
  
• Tomb Raider: Legend Development Shots - This page features storyboards for the game's story. If any more behind-the-scenes imagery appear, we may have to create individual pages for them (unlike the previous Dev Shot pages we've made) as there are a lot of storyboards on the page and it will just become too long with too much to load.
  
• With the release of the tabletop RPG 'Lara Croft's Tomb Raiders', we were now able to add more to the game's section. A Credits page was added.

Updates:

• Tomb Raider 1 Renders - 4 additional renders were added, including alternative background colours to the same poses.
  
• Tomb Raider 2 Renders - 24 renders were added, including the same pose but on different background colours.
  
• Tomb Raider 3 Characters and Traps - this page became 'TR3 Model Artwork', and some model imagery that we had on the page 'TR3 Wardrobe' was moved to the newly named page. We didn't really know where to put these pictures and we didn't really like them on the wardrobe page, so when we created a page for model artwork for TR1, we knew that this was what we could do for TR3 too.
  
• Tomb Raider 3 Live Model - this new page had additional pictures of Nell McAndrew added to it, featuring poses that we hadn't seen before. These pictures came from Archive.org.
  
• Tomb Raider Anniversary Wallpapers - 17 new official wallpapers were added, in various sizes.
  
• Various Tomb Raider: Reloaded pages were updated, with information about the event, the new event weapon and outfit, and 2 new renders.
  
• Lara Croft's Tomb Raiders Artwork - New imagery was added.
  
• The 'Lara Croft' section of the website received a small refresh, with new logos for the banner and sidebar. We had previously used a logo from the Lara Croft series of games that we had modified, but we rather preferred the idea of using Lara's official signature.
  
• Live Models page - we reduced it down, taking out the galleries and leaving only a short bio and one promo shot of each. This should help the page load quicker too.

That's all for this update. Have a great weekend!
