Bio:
I've been mapping since the grand old days of Quake, when Hammer was Worldcraft and levels were mainly brown. True to form, my first ever map was an awful single-player experience set in the structurally-impossible confines of a (rather brown) spaceship. Utterly hooked, I continued mapping various peculiarities until Half-Life exploded unto this world, and Worldcraft progressed to the wonderful 1.6.

Armed with a menagerie of (finally!) non-brown textures, I began furiously mapping for Action Half-Life, easily the greatest mod of its time. Having honed my skills, I ventured into the dangerous and complex world of actually-leading-my-own-mod... which became known as "Role Play Half-Life"...

Despite its many incarnations: "RPHL", "Roleplay Annihilation World War Three Unleashed" (What a title!), and finally just "Role Play: Annihilation"... the mods three year development cycle allowed me to further enhance my environmental design skills, culminating around a year ago when my good old mate Dogmeat popped round for a cup o' brew and said "Fancy making another mod?"... and Jailbreak Source was born.
