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:



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

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.

Not mine.

Yep, feeling a bit of the Orange about it too.

The one and only. My favorite.

More GL goodness to follow.

From lieutenant commander to commodore. Heck of a promotion.



And a great way to avoid redshirt fatality.

Some new recruits for the old school rpg.
These are peridot gamescience precision and they are hard to find now.
I seem to be missing a d6.

No idea who made this - credit to anonymous then.
