Detention was created for the competitions here at the Snarkpit a while ago, but since these results still aren't releases I decided to show the map of here. It's 50% inside and 50% outside a jail.

Check out my Portfolio for some screenshots of this map.

2003 map compeition entry

This is perhaps my best map to date. Its based on a Halo map I liked, its pretty great for 4+ people, and I think it looks pretty decent. I know the skybox is a little jenky, but I lost the original file so its too late to fix it. Enjoy!

When I first released dm_waterwerx, I was in a hurry to get a map out for HL2. As I released it (and due to some valid comments) I knew I could do better. This is an attempt to re-visit waterwerx and see if it can be salvaged.
In this new build, I downsized the map alot, maximized performance in all areas, added a series of teleporters to increase connectivity and playability, re-lit all major areas, downsized scale to fit more realistic appearance, and just basically gave it a face lift all around. This is more like what I had in mind.

... My 2nd release, at the time i was making this map i was deeply enthralled with the map "Rigor Mortis".. This is but a poor attempt at the same theme, failed miserably at it, but as ugly as it is, it saw more online fragging time than most all my maps combined.. Its fast and furious in its play.

... My 3rd release.
I noticed early on that the most played maps were the default valve releases, problem was, each map had only portions i felt were good, so in my arrogance, I chose portions of some and adding my own works created a rather well laid out map.
My ego swelled because i received dozens of emails chastising me for decompiling the originals and using them in my own map.. All along these people never realized the compliment they were bestowing upon me. The maps are 100% my own creation, all made from memory.

... My 9th and final release for Half-Life 1
This map was created for the snarkpit mapping competition, or at least one of them
The concept of the mapping tournament was "Opposing themes". This map combines rather well the ideas of space age with medieval.

... My 4th release.
Even though i was proud as hell with my first release, I was also not satisfied with it as far as its tribute to what i felt was one of the best levels in Doom II.. Now that my skills seemed up to the task, i decided to again to recreate the doom II entryway.. The differences between my 1st and 4th release are unmistakable.. The map now though, is only loosely based upon the Doom map, but one can still readily identify its likeness..

... My 1st release, basically modeled after Doom II's entryway. The map was made only 3 weeks after my discovery of worldcraft 2.1
Upon its release I submitted it to the old Radium review site, where it scored a whopping 29/100.
Although it is clear full of mapping mistakes, I still look on it fondly.

... My 7th release.
Released in partnership with [DRS]Doomdog.

...My 6th release.
This map was edited slightly for the PHL mapping tournament.. All the glitches noted by critics were readdressed before this release.. the changes were few, but enough.

... My 5th release..
Jeff Meyer was my mentor when I was starting out, he made quite a few excellent releases.. This particular map was one he was working on when he was forced, due to a new job, to discontinue map making.. He had sent it to me roughly a year i guess before i got up the courage to request finishing it for him. With his consent I endeavored to do so.. Personally I think its one of his very best releases, the critics disagree, prolly due to my contributions more so than his
In any case, I think its better released than consigned to the hard drive ether..
