Mapping

I've been crafting maps for some time.

Though I'm only just now coming into my first major work:

Presenting mapping hack technology: Maphack

What is it?

A 3D engine that can build maps like nethack or rogue!

Here is an unrelated image from when I had some texturing issue:
(I just think it looks really cool and I may use the effect in the new tech)

One of my mapping challenges is terrain.

Making terrain look good in an oldschool editor like Radiant takes either
a lot of hard work, or a program like a terrain generator.

I have come up with another method:

land forms

When arranged randomly together, these forms make convincing terrain.
You could put them together in an editor with cut and paste work.

I take things a step further - I created a map engine to do all the work.

This will be showcased in two of my main projects: Quake-Hack and Anode X

2 hordlings

From: wiki, reference: Brood V
"densities in some locales reaching 1.5 million per acre, trillions of individuals are expected to emerge"

They did, and how.

From appx may 21st to june 29th the little hordlings filled the trees, skys, fields and woods.

I only saw dead ones on my hike today.
I feel sad.

Porter

Porter is no longer here.
13 years is a long time for a cat to spend with a human.

He started out as an unwanted cat needing a home and
ended up being very special.

I dont think I'll get very many more cats.
It is too painfull when they die.

From lieutenant commander to commodore. Heck of a promotion.

Promoted!

And a great way to avoid redshirt fatality.
