Been playin' since Doom, Quake and all the other FPS's. Got into development with the release of Unreal Tournament (~1999) when I made an unreleased "scanner" model complete with button animations which I imported into the engine. Battlefield 2 hit me really big in around 2007. That led me onto the Battlefieldsingleplayer.com community. Then I discovered GTA and the other sandbox games (more out of interest in the genre than being a huger player of anything other than Battlefield). Then I started going back to my roots. MAME and the classic arcade scene. That's where it originally started for me .. playing with my little brother on arcade games in seaside arcades in the 80's. Still much to learn there in terms of game play - instant fun ! Joystick and two keys to hit very hard. No confusing high concepts, just good 'ol simple fun. There's a lot of development these days that could do with that kind of "just give me the fun" treatment. I also like cheese.

Just a note for the curious. I'm currently working on ...

  • An as yet unannounced UDK project. I'm using the opportunity to do what I've been wanting to achieve for a long time. Learn how to use Blender. This is currently going very well as previous attempts have ended in frustration with the interface. Blender 2.56 series is a much improved experience for the Blender newbie. I come from a 3ds Max background. The last time I modelled was in 1997 to 2002 with a now antiquated version of Max (1.2!). However all the concepts are the same - booleans, UV's and so forth. It is amazing to see what was once a manual process is now automated in Blender - UV Unwrap.
  • An ArmA addon. I plan to customise the command bar. Steep learning curve here but I have the guts of ArmA Combined Operations (ArmA 2 + OA) spread all over my harddrive so it is only a matter of time until things start making sense.
  • Working on the Battlefieldsingleplayer.com website team.
  • For the future. Once I can model again in Blender I would like to make something for Battlefield 2.

That's it. Have fun.
