Hey there, I'm Cory De La Torre and I'm currently working on my project with GEAR on City 17 (mod).
I've had over 1 year and 6 months under my somewhat tiny belt with Hammer, and a bit of a few other things in the Source engine, but most of my knowledge is really in Hammer.
So far I have been working on other things and still waiting in excitement for Half Life 2 Episode 2. Oh My! Also I tend to find the Xbox 360 really troublesome for a developer hmm... perhaps the lack of architecture?
For right now I am going to use this as a portfolio.
Currently I work for Gear a bit of a small team in the rising I suppose, yet through time it's been getting better, and so far I've been having fun. Currently I'm a Lead as well as a Level Designer there.

Major contributions
And some big time organization to the main Level Design page.
Also, I re-edited Ts2do's last FGD and plan to re-edit some at the EP2 stage. For now, here is the download of it, oh and I asked permission as well to publish it: Geardev base FGD, and: Geardev ep1 FGD. Once you download both of these use them to replace your current FGD's, whether it's the older versions or regular HL2 FGD's.
If you aren't to sure on how to add in the new files, give this a check!

Current projects
Working on City17: Episode 1 at the moment. On top of that I'm going to finish the trilogy with a three part mod game all the way to Half Life 2: Episode 3. Yeah so that means I'm gonna be ultra busy for the next three years perhaps, until then I will be pretty busy. Right now, work is going good and I can't wait to play EP2 and Portal, as well as TF2.
Maps
Here is some of the stuff I made in Teh Hammer:

Steam Community
I recently put up this little Steam community for the company. Here is the link, I believe: Gear. You can use the search feature in Steam to find and join it if you would like. So far, around 57 some members are in it, and I keep it with media updates of everything PC, as well as the mod itself. We also joined up with the Steam Podcast and Civil Protection, along with this little clan called HaVoK for the SourceForts mod.
So GEAR is getting darn huge, a lot more huger than I ever had imagined! So that really makes me happy that a lot of people, along with friends have joined to bring a lot of good news and fun to everyone, so give it a check and have fun. Oh and a little person called Interlopers is on the wagon too!
Current help and whatnots
Yeah, I'm on the VDC everyday, so yeah, I'm here to help and clean up 'till literally someone fits me with a dashing maid outfit, just not the sexual kinds.......... yeah that was a bit odd but I think I made that point very, very solid. Here was one idea that I organized of late: Mrwtoidea.
So far: 1100 edits total to the wiki.
My experiments
Yeah thats right, a little experiment page for me, just for what ever. I have noticed that a very few users tend to have two or three extra pages that they use for information for them, and for others that might be helpful. However for today and probably the next few weeks ahead: MrTwo/TF2 Ideas.
