Experienced mapper, that worked most with Quake III Arena. First relased map was a map called '''''Prayers Nest''''', which featured a goth-alike scene upon a mountain, later that map was remade into '''''Prayers Nest II - Pray Again''''' with a heavy face lift and better gameplay. Also made a pretty well-known ''(in the Q3 mapping community at least)'' map called '''''The Velvet Yard''''', which sports some fine realistic details and one insane detail level made within the Quake III Engine. That map looked so good for beeing in the Quake III Engine, and probably was pretty unique also, so it was featured in an article about game architecture in the Architecture Magazine of New York late last year (2004) together with some other fine maps.
Experienced level designer who worked most with the Quake III Engine and Quake III Arena. Really likes good looking levels and when I map, I tend to go more that way then against good game play.
Before this, I made some Half-Life, the Specialist and CS16 creations, where only one map was released to the public. Started mapping for the Source Engine this spring, and released a Counter-Strike - Source map called '''''Velvet East XII''''' which got pretty good reviews from the community.

Major contributions here:



Current projects.
  • Right now, I have two public maps in development, my probably last Quake III Arena map, and also a new Counter-Strike - Source map. The Q3 map is themed around space and will go in mostly green and white, with some subtle orange. The CSS map is a industrial (as always ;)) map based on a layout from a map never completed by a friend, the development for that map is slow/on hold since I want to complete the Q3 map first so I can put that aside.
