Level Design

Although the joke among the level designers that I work with is that we're the people who love video games but lack the talent to be artists and the intelligence to be programmers, the truth is I can't imagine why everyone doesn't want to be a level designer. The ability to create the world and environment that surrounds the player, whether it's a ruined city in the middle of a mist-covered jungle or a dark, industrial colony at the bottom of an ocean-covered planet? It's so much power that it's kind of heady.

Technomancy: The Shadow War

MAP: ONS - PARIS ENGINE: Unreal Inspired by the winding streets and central river divide of Paris, I wanted to convey the flavor of a real European city by creating a twisting labyrinth of streets that appear to have been constructed haphazardly over hundreds of year.

Red Wake

MAP: Cannibal Island ENGINE: FAKK2 (Radiant) "Cannibal Island" is a single-player map that I worked on for Red Wake, a pirate-themed total-conversion of Heavy Metal: FAKK 2, designed, planned, and developed in six months by a team of thirteen Guildhall students. Get more info and view screenshots...
