Hi all, Well here's a bit about myself. My real name is Andy Wills & I live Kent in the U.K. I’m a retired health care worker & funnily enough I was retired at a very young age due to suffering from i’ll health myself. However, this does leave me with a lot of free time on my hands to pursue the hobbie that I love which is modding. I’ve been modding for about 20 years now, & I stated way back when computer games were Black & White with block graphics. I’ve made mods/add-Ons for a number of titles including Some of the Tomb Raider series, Microsoft Train Simulator, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon & The Sims 1 & 2. The current project that i'm working on is for the MAX PAYNE 1 engine ( MaxED ), & is a mod based on the 1978 version of the movie classic movie DAWN OF THE DEAD.

I've had a lot of gamers that have been following my work on my present mod, ask me what mod I have in mind to work on after I have finished my current project.
I find this a strange question seeing that I'm still quite some way off of finishing my present mod, & that modding is such a long & arduous process, especially if your a lone moder like myself.
However I must confess that the thought hadn't entirely evaded my mind as I have pondered on a few future projects in the past year or so since working on my current project, & here's my shortlist ( in no particular order ), so perhaps you can give me your suggestions on which mod I should do next.
(1).DAWN OF THE DEAD Part 2 - ( No Not - DAY OF THE DEAD ), this would be a completely new story that shows what happened to the 2 remaining characters that escaped from the mall at the end of the original movie & my current mod. I think that this would make a pretty interesting story, & it will also be a completely new story & not just one that's been copied from a movie as my present project is. However, this is the project that I've probably got the least interest in doing at the moment as I feel that I would like to take a rest from zombie mods after my current project & try something new. But this is definitely one idea that I'd like to return to in the future.
(2).DAY OF THE FIRE PEOPLE - A completely new idea for a SI-FI mod by myself about an invasion by aliens that can take on human form & when they attack they bust into flames & their skins take on the form of molten lava & they throw fire balls at you in an attempt to try & burn you & your surrounding up.
(3).MAX PAYNE 3- An unofficial Max Payne 3 game ( although I'm not quite sure I'll be able to call it that due to copyright laws ), but a 3rd Max Payne game doesn't seem to be on the horizon by the games owners, much to the disgust of fans, so I have had thoughts of trying my hand at it myself.
(4). DECKARD - BLADE RUNNER II - An idea I had for a continuation of the Blade Runner story that finds our hero alone once again after loosing the love of his life ( Rachael the replicant from the movie ), after her life clock has run out. Here we find Deckard a broken man who now doesn't mind going back to his old job as a rouge replicant eliminator when his bosses put out a recall to him once again when a new batch of replicants go on a killing rampage throughout the city. However unbeknown to Deckard, Rachael was actually one of a pair of identical replicants that were made & it is in fact her double that is the leader of the rouge gang of replicants. So will Deckard be able to retire the new Rachael when he comes face to face with her or will his feelings for the original Rachael be too strong ?
I'd also plan to answer the question that's been on many a Blade Runner fans lips over the years with this mod, i.e, is Decard a replicant himself, or just a human.
I think this would be a great idea for a mod as the movie has great atmosphere which is generated by the strong settings & wonderfull music by Vangelis. An atmosphere that I hope could be captured in a mod. I'm also a great fan of the Blade Runner movie as I am the Dawn Of The Dead movie so I feel I can do it justice.
There was in fact a Max Payne 1 Blade Runner mod that was being worked upon a few years ago, that was base on the original movie but there was only 2 levels ever made & it was never finished, but it did look promising. I myself however would be using the more advanced Max Payne 2 engine ( MaxEd 2 ), to make this mod if chosen.
There was also an official Blade Runner game release some years ago that was base around the movie, but it was dire. Although it was in fact one of the first ( if not the first ), P.C games to be made in 3D.
Also:
This Blade Runner mod idea is also the only mod that I've practically toyed with up to now as in a moment of modding boredom I produced this artwork teaser.

Hi, all
Over in my downloads section you can find some musical tracks that I've created for you to download & listen to at your lesure.
Although i'm best known on the ModDB site for my Max Payne mod DAWN OF THE DEAD , it's however little know to the modding community that another one of my other great passions is making my own music.
I'm currently working on my own album called Marmalade Skies ( album cover shown above ),
& i've chosen to upload 3 of the tracks from this album here so that modding crews can get some idea of the quality of music that i'm able to achieve, for their futre refferance, so that they can keep me in mind if they are looking for potenial musical soundtrack artists for their forthcoming mods ( free of charge of course ).
The first 2 tracks that I've uploaded here are very beaty/cluby type tracks, whilist the 3rd is more soft techno, but I must stress that I am capable of or creating all types of music from Pop & Electronic to Cassical.
