An Introduction
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 2:15 pm
Hey there Custom Map Makers community. I'd like to introduce myself to you all, although im not quite sure how to go about that haha. As for my name, you can all refer to me as Lunaxe (as is evident by username 
), and i happen to be a highschool senior who has had a great interest in the quake engines and modding since my freshman year. I've worked with Quake 1 mods extensively ranging from Nazi Zombies: Portable, various Halo mods (only a bit there), and Left 4 Quake. All of these are still active and can be found on ModDB if you care to check them out!
Only recently have i decided i need to take a step up, learn some new things, and begin mapping for a whole new community. My skills range from mapping to texturing, with that being about it haha. However, after some discussion and research ive found that modeling is going to play a key role in my construction, and since many of my concepts are dark and often obscure, it leaves many key models to be made custom, and as the old saying goes- "If you want something done right, do it yourself." So this is really a new step in my life, as far as modding goes!
As for a game of choice to work with, ive chosen urban terror, mostly because it has a great fan base, great online multiplayer, and offers gameplay that is like nothing ive ever played- which makes my motivation to map that much greater.
Im sorry that i posted a request firstly, before doing any introduction (definitely a jerk move), so here it is! Sometimes when im pressed for time (doubling up with local college programs and high school + soccer) i just go right ahead looking for what i want, and for that i apologize. Ive seen many members of this community's work, and am looking forward to gathering advice and opinions on whatever topics may come up from them.
Lastly, thanks for accepting my registration John... whoever you are haha
