Personal Work

This is a collection of some of my non-commercial work. I started taking my first Level Designer baby steps in early 2000 by designing custom levels for the original Half-Life, and created a wide range of custom maps for mods such as Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Natural Selection and The Specialists between 2000 and 2003. Listed here are some of the last levels I created for Half-Life, along with one I created for Half-Life 2 deathmatch.

It should be noted that I made everything on most of these levels apart from most of the textures (and the props on Arbogast).

Arbogast

A level from 2008 that I created for Half-Life 2 using existing assets from the game. Started as just a curious test of the Source engine and ended up as full fledged deathmatch level. Like my levels in the first Half-Life's era, it's an incredibly open and interconnected level.

Supertimor

One of the levels I created for The Specialists, a mod heavily inspired by action movies and games such as Max Payne. Supertimor was added as an official map in the mod. It takes place in an industrial area, with access to whole buildings and also access between roofs.

Kissmeyer Basic

Another official The Specialists level. This one takes place in an office complex and sports a very wide layout with the center of the map being the two story reception. One of the main design choices was having lots of glass that you could shoot or dive through.

Mazion Space Station

My only map for Natural Selection, a sci-fi themed Half-Life mod. The largest map I'd done at the time and the one that took the longest time to make, around a year. It's also my level from this time that was playtested the most.

Crystal Sunrise

This level was originally released for Counter-Strike, but was later converted for The Specialists with some modifications. Again, this is an incredibly open, interconnected and vertical map.
