Just want to say why I got into the Game development business:
I got into this business because I was inspired by Epic Games, I have played all of the Unreal Tournament since the first game came out, then when I got Unreal Tournament III, I decided to start building maps because I had great ideas back in the day, but because I had a very bad computer, I could not get the looks I wanted :(, so I decided to start with Unreal Tournament 1999, working with a community called Saracen Games but in 2008/2009 (Now they are called Flying Wing Studios, because of their Jericho Project that never came to Unreal Tournament 2004, now they are no longer active) I worked on map packs known as the Saracen Games Map Pack, which are still available for download on Gamefront.
In 2010, I got a position at a UT fanatic community called Overkill Games UK (Famous for the Bushido Map Packs) who are also decommissioned due to bad criticism from people, they were working a singleplayer for Unreal Tournament 1999 called Alpha and Omega 2011 but it never came, a game called Cold Dawn was to be made as well but was cancelled, After all of these false talks from the bosses saying they are going to make it big, they failed.
In March 2011, me and a mate were starting a little community called L-mod Unlimited (The old name) just for fun, we were to make maps for UT2004 which we did, but we never got chance to release them, as time went on, more of our friends wanted to be part of our team which we allowed, in May, I said how about we start a actual business and thus L-mod Unlimited was changed to L-mod United Kingdom on May 16, 2011 and officially being a fully grown company, you all know whet we have been up to for months now and unlike the last teams I was with (Flying Wing and Overkill) we are still here, we have a game engine being built, images shown to prove it, which is something Flying Wing and Overkill never did, a video as well, one video game (Unreal Tournament: 1st Generation) made and released and a map pack coming to Unreal Tournament III soon.
I am extremely proud to be the head of my company, and we are close to our 1 year anniversary of being officially founded, May 16 is approaching and we want to add something special onto our company page, a video perhaps or a download.
I would also like to thank those who has shown interests in my profile, my company page, my engine page and downloading, reading and watching our content, we would like to give you guys and gals something in return.

I have a question. What is the difference between your company and the ones u used to work at that died?
How is it u actually released something?
Fair question my friend, we are more, how would you say... active and we actually have posted images, we have a company page that the others did not have, Unreal Tournament: 1st Generation is a video game/mod that we published on ModDB, it is hard to know if it is a game or a mod for theses reasons:
.You don't need either Unreal or Unreal Tournament to run
.No installation required
.Same maps from Unreal, Weapons from UT plus RTNP weapons as well
Another thing that makes us different to the communities that I worked with, they died out and mine is still here, active, and giving out information about our plans and content being made by us and released for download.
Yes but WHYYYYY???
:P
I have gave the information right here buddy, there is nothing more to tell you.
