- Summary:
- My first job making maps was with a company that no longer exists called Sojourn Development. I was the Lead Mapper on a mod for Tribes 2 called Chivalry 2. Chiv 2 garnered enough attention that we were presented with an opportunity to start working on a full-blown retail game that we eventually called Glympse.
I started working with level editors the first time I noticed that the game developers included one with the game. I began by making maps for my friends & I to play on, I think it was Starcraft. The first time I looked up amidst the chaos of one of our early LAN parties and saw my buddies laughing and carrying on while we were playing on a map that I had made, that\\\'s when I decided that this is what I want to do with my life.
I found that I was good at it and I actually enjoyed it!! And then I discovered sites like garagegames and gamasutra, which is a good thing because lately I\\\'ve had a mind for design more than mapping anyway....
