- Works for Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment (DICE) as a Environmental Artist. On a yet unannounced game.

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.

Major contributions here:

• Skybox - Advanced and the Swedish translation.

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. http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9850/htire00363gf.th.jpg Untitled, Counter-Strike - Source http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9369/shot02231lu.th.jpg Interstellar Serenity, Quake III
