Started mapping while at University as a diversion from my studies, and managed to complete a number of rubbish maps...i've only released Heartspark as many of the others were shockingly bad!

After completing my course, I managed to bag myself a job at Bits Studios working on a game called 'Thieves World' - which is now known as 'Rogue Ops'. The job unfortunately didn't last very long - but I did get some of my work in the game. The majority of the first level is my architecture and design, and the first two rooms of level 5 are all mine (the big gallery bit inparticular). The game turned out to be quite average but i'm still pleased with certain elements of it :)

Haven't had much luck getting back into the games industry and have all but given up now after a few false starts. I'm currently holed up at Siemens Industrial Turbines earning my keep - but haven't closed the door to my true passion, should the right opportunity come along :)

Spare time is spent mostly listening to music, ironing shirts (which I hate!), watching the TV/DVDs, playing games and the occasional spot of level building. Typical nerd fodder if you will ;)

Set in the ruined grounds of a castle (yeah..okay so I like castles!), and has taken me far too long to build due to all the vertex manipulation! As FLF seems to have slowed to a crawl in development, i've released this map independently.

The next (and possibly final) in my series of 'fun' Pacman maps. I should really concentrate more on my proper maps :)

This map started off as a second map for the recent Snarkpit mapping contest, to give me a little break from my main entry...but this one ended up being my main entry as the other wasn't ready in time. It has a cartooney castle kinda theme, with subtle lighting and colours to add to the fairytale theme. It started off as a simple small arena but grew into the monster that it is now - with 4 storeys, as I was a little worried it was too small...but it's probably a tad too big now! Weapon placement was graciously and expertly done by ReNo to great effect :)
