I have been making maps and releasing them on the internet since December 1998. Prior to the release of Unreal, I experimented with various level editors but UnrealEd provided me with the tools that I needed to get serious about level design. I have experimented with various editors since, including the Sacrifice and Quake 3 editors.

Listed below in chronological order are the maps I have created and released to the community.

I have been making textures based on digitally sourced images from either the Internet or digital camera for some time now. While some textures have simply been resized, resampled and corrected for use in the Unreal engine, others have been either heavily modified and composited from multiple images or created from scratch.

Some texture sets for UT - for example PlutonicUrban - have been released to the community for general use. Others were developed for specific maps.

More recently, I have developed textures for UT2003. CTF-Unearthed and CTF-Hypothermia, both make use of textures that I have customised to suit the specific requirements of the themes for these maps. Currently I am developing a map that uses a completely original texture set based solely on images personally collected with a digital camera.
