The Long Way Home. Is made up of many islands in the middle of a lagoon linked together via a large network of boats and bridges. The city layout has hardly changed in the last 500 years and is a maze of narrow winding streets, crisscrossed by busy water ways linking all areas of the city. The lack of pollution, noise and possible accidents from cars is an awesome experience which certainly makes the city a magical place to visit and enjoy. The crowning glory of Florence is the Basilica. Cathedral Square...

A year of doing my own projects and travelling to different parts of Europe. Map on the Edge of Forever. Began life as an experiment into the possibilities of scripting using physical triggers setup like an old mechanical machine. The early gameplay prototypes were designed in small box maps and consisted of a series of puzzle ideas to see what was possible with an modified Q3 engine. Started out life as an experiment to see if was possible to link together a portal sky and the ground space of a level.

Top of the World. The perfect place for Level Designers to go shopping! A store which sells the essentials that so often litter all computer game levels, crates and barrels! The bane of computer game levels is the blob of cover to hide behind while waiting for the sad red screen splat to disappear and the predictable regeneration health bar mechanic to kick in. luckily for designers everywhere, crates and barrels can suit any environment and they never look out of place! Overlooking the city of Victoria ...

Once upon another time there was a post on the Off Topic forums that initiated a cooperative multiplayer (deathmatch) Half-Life mapping project. But instead of evolving into a playable, released map, Frankenstein 4. Died a quiet death resulting from engine limitations and apathy. For my part, I ended up with a homeless small chunk of map in the Black Mesa style. It would have been terrible for deathmatch anyway. Cut to 10 years (! Pictures open in a new window. Thanks to the Half-Life: Nightwatch. Guys f...

Art of Josh Powers. Friday, July 25, 2008. Environment Artist with id software! It's been a while, so I thought this would be a good excuse to post.

You are probably thinking, what the hell is that wacky picture doing on this site! Well you know how it is when you are sitting in a meeting and you are overcome with boredom. I am sure most people only take notepads into meetings for doodle reasons, well someone did that of me. Every time I see that picture it makes smile and to be honest that it is all that matters. The flying bikes thing is me trying to get fit, too much sitting down and not enough fresh air! Oh sure, computers did exist, but nothing ...

For many years the trail through the Grendal Gorge was a dangerous place, the path was plagued by thieves trying to help travellers part with their gold. At the request of the Merchants Guild the King built several small keeps along the trail and one of them was called Zendar. The map started out with such grand plans! Deep within the Grendal Gorge is a small monastery and chapel built by the Silver Knights of Tresden. The central tower of the chapel was constructed from the legendary white rocks of ...
