Brief Bio
I met the Half-Life franchise a while ago, and I remember playing through the entirety of it in about a month and enjoying every second of it. After 100% completing each game, I was left wanting more. I knew HL had an active modding community, and I started downloading maps and mods. When playing these I knew I wanted to make them myself. I started learning Hammer and Source level design. I started to work on my first project: Dark Intervention. I met some really nice and helpful people along the way. Strontvlieg in particular has been helping and supporting me a lot, and I thank him a lot for that. Dark Intervention released after more than half a year of work, and it was received pretty well overall. This gave me much motivation to continue mapping. You will now see me in Mab Labs competitions and the occasional standalone projects.
