Released Work
Mods:
Title: Bully: Source
Engine: Source Engine (Orange Box).
Aim: Initially this was a project for the BT Young Scientist Exhibition in Dublin, Ireland. The project theme itself was to create a game that would combat or teach its players (students) what to do in bullying situations. The game won 3rd place in the Intermediate Technology Section of the exhibition.
Total Development time: 3 months.

Maps:
Title: UAC: Reincarnation
Engine: Doom 3 Engine
Aim: To expand my knowledge outside of Hammer and learn other Level Editing Software. Description: Despite the rather over-used name, this was actually one of my first maps I had created during my endeavour into Radiant. When I started this map pack some two years ago, I started the map in the hope of scaring the players for a short time, and as it was Doom 3 I felt this was perfect. The maps themselves are extremely short, and overall I’ve had mixed reactions from it some people saying that it was very enjoyable for a first full map in Doom3EDIT, and others were saying that it was terrible due to the lack of play.
Overall I had learned how Radiant works and how the Doom 3 engine handles it’s maps, I learned how to (with some basic coding) to create the PDA’s used to show the player the storyline. And to modify GUI Screens so they fit the storyline better.

Title: Merrion Lake Warehouse
Development Time: November 2009 - Present
Release date: Feburary 2010.
Aim: Initially this started off as a complex map to see how long it would take me to create a warehouse in Microbrush 2 (See links below) in comparison to Hammer. The map grew over time, and eventually became a sort of, 'mini-mod'. The overall style of the mod is an open map, allowing the player to have full exploration in a 'tomb-raider' like experience.

Maps:
Title: DM-Suburbs
Development Time: two months
Specs: 2v2 Half-Life 2 Deathmatch map
Release date: January 2010.
Aim: I had found after developing Singleplayer levels for so long that I neglected to create any Multiplayer maps. This was a test for me to see if I could create an optimized interesting map for a small 2v2 match.
