• Mapping/Level Design

  • 2001 - Oct 2021

  Level design and the creation of 2D & 3D spaces has been an enduring passion of mine. First with Duplo & Lego, then paper, then with 3D tools. The challenge of creating spaces within restrictions has always been appealing to me. Maybe you only own # blocks, maybe the player can only jump this high, or perhaps the player can fly & needs to be boxed in. 2002-2021 My focus has been the multiplayer RTS/FPSs Natural Selection 1 & 2. Each unit has its own way of getting everywhere & seeing everything. The challenge is to allow locations to tell stories without distracting the players. Show less
