I am currently a student at Wolverhampton University in the UK studying Computer Games Design. I have just completed my first year of study after having done 2 years of Environmental Science at Birmingham University. I am an active modder with experience in public relations, level design, team management, recruitment and team organisation. I am currently a lead developer on the Mare Nostrum mod for Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45. I hope to gain enough experience through modding and Univeristy to work in the Games Industry after I graduate.

Well I had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year and now its back down to work for me. I had an extended break from Mare Nostrum and as I have to do a lot of day to day work on it I needed a break.

Well I have committed myself to at least one more patch and so now we are working towards 1.4. I have brought a few new people from the custom MN map scene on board in order to polish their maps and colaborate with the dev team. Hopefully we can get a fair few new or improved map for this release. Our new official maps should include;

  • Gazala
  • Sidi Rezegh
  • Marika Village
  • Crete
  • Road To Tunis

I myself am working towards my next map based on the Axis landings on the island of Crete. Specifically the area surrounding Maleme airfield. The EA team have been working hard to provide me some great static meshes, including;

  • Chapel
  • German Gliders
  • Drop Canisters
  • Bofors AA Gun
  • Olive Trees

I added some screenshots to my gallery, still pretty early on in development but they show the Olive trees in a nice tranquil setting. This might be the most beautiful map in MN when finished if I can do it right.
