I began my career in game development rather humbly- I became engrossed with the WarCraft 2 Map Editor. When WarCraft 3 released, I quickly jumped into its World Editor, just screwing around mostly. Eventually, I created more serious maps, beginning with WarCraft Maul: Remade. It was a fairly simple endeavor which reconfigured the existing races and added new ones. I followed the first release up with three more, each adding more races and rebalancing existing races. Unfortunately, I did not protect any of these, and thus many new versions popped-up in my name which I did not create (anything above 1.3 is not mine). Nevertheless, I worked-on a Footmen Wars-like map, Balance Wars, and also made WinterMaul: Remade. Balance Wars was the best and most unique, imo. I then moved-on to lead the Great Troll War Mod and the Air Power Mod, which both ultimately faltered, but which have been succeeded by Wartide (formerly the SA Game). It is that project which now has my full attention.
Wow, that's not cool- ModDB seems to be screwing w/image quality ([url=https://media.moddb.com/cache/images/members/1/77/76269/thumb_620x2000/MBT-6_View4.jpg]this is probably the best example[/url]; [url=http://xs121.xs.to/xs121/07484/MBT-6_View4.jpg]here's what that really looks like[/url]).
GTW has, unfortunately, been cast to the wayside- for now. The project proved simply too ambitious for this stage of WarCraft III's life. It was impossible to acquire new members of the skill level we required because they had moved-on to things bigger and newer than WarCraft III. At the same time, we also lacked a team of a necessary size or skill to complete the project, and WarCraft III began to lose its appeal even to those members. I still hold firm to the belief that a great mod can modernize WC3 and leverage its mapping focus, but unfortunately, GTW is not that mod. However, almost a year ago now, I began a full game project, which is having considerably greater success. The project's name is Wartide, and I will soon unveil it to ModDB. This project will fill much of the void left by the collapse of GTW, given its dual focus- first on just delivering a great, innovative RTT/RTS experience, and second on creating a great, universal platform for mapping and modding. I feel that GTW may eventually be resurrected as a mod for Wartide, thus all hope should not be lost.
Don't know if you'll ever get this, but I'd like to help with GTW any way I can. Read my comment on the project page for a link to some of my work.
Great Troll War for the win!
