Looking for work: YES
Avaidable for mod work: NO

I started doing creative gaming work when I was 11 on the game Starsiege Tribes. I made a little mod for that game but then got a new PC and started playing Counter-Strike instead. After a little while I said to myself, "I think I can do the same thing that I did with Tribes to this". I started doing some mapping at the start of 2005.

I've studied 1 year of photography, 5 years of media and 4 years of art at my secondary school.

At the moment I have been working on my own SP mod, Ivan's Secrets (www.ivans-secrets.com) for around 1 1/2 years.

I am able to do basic C++ coding, basic modelling + texturing and advanced level design.

It looks great. You have some great talent for your age. I believe I started at the age of 14/15...

I think you just press backspace on the BBcode so the links are together to make them into rows.

Lastly the fog in Ghetto. Is it a smoke entity? Looks expensive.

[JLea]

The fog is a func_smokevolume with a density of 0.2. It doesn't really lag so much though. I also have a env_fogcontrol so that adds more.

I really like your work. It has a high level of detail and the atmosphere is great. The lightning seems to be perfect for this kind of scenery. (freaks me the hell out )

Keep up the good work and throw out some updates from time to time!!

Saludos,

I thought you lost that map:( ummm

[JLea]

Well.. It was just an excuse not to work on it since it was getting really boring. About 1 month later in the newspaper there was a feature on the state of America. That gave me alot of inspiration to work on it though. Hehehe

[vecima]

i have no idea why, but the screens of your map make me think of playing X-Com: ufo defense

[JLea]

Oh you mean this? I totally see the resemblance

[Grudge]

That would be perfect with zombies crawling the streets.

Some of the best atmosphere i've seen in a while, please don't ruin it with zombies. Zombies ruin everything -_-

Are those standard HL2 textures?

[Grudge]

In the thumbnails majority of them there pictures look REAL. Seriously.

Are those standard HL2 textures?

Yes they are! But how do zombies ruin it? I don't mean the shitty lumbering HL2 zombies. Like fast zombies but more human and less headcrabby.

Sorry, i meant HL2 zombies.

Un-HL2 zombies are great
