I take this time now to right down my thoughts, i started a mod as soon as i started mapping (REALY BAD IDEA) The mod became know as Alyx's Story which is dead... Why? You ask... I had no inspiration to guild me through the mapping... Now after a year of building up skill (with lots of procrastination bolted on i have got 600 hours combined in Source SDK and Portal 2 Authorising tools... DOESn't sound like much...
But i've gained the ability to imagine like i have never done before...
Why am I writing this...
Because I can...
I have chosen to join a modding group who are currently working on Aperture : Beginings The leader (is clearly like me when i started mapping) created the mod... It's gone really slow... So now I've joined but I know he's new to mapping... why when i Join and submitted my mapping proof. He asked me to start work on the first chapter (this is ok as the did one but now don't like it) from that he tells me nothing about the story so now i'm forced to imaging it, Hopefully I can save this mod (The leader has really good people helping him such as Crazyb2000 who is a great mapper - modeller - voice actor) but is only using him for voice acting which is still ok). IN nearly 8 months the team has not ever had a blood meeting.
Hopefully can help lead his team...
I'll find out i we Succeed.

Yes i know this is not the worlds greatest blog about a mapper but i had to start somewhere...
Edit: this mod started in 2010 this was before portal 2 was released (so he has had time to learn how to map)
