Hey ppl I am still mapping for Q2 and while it is slow, that's only because I can't think of a cool story! Anyway I made a wallpaper the other night, nothing special, but I wanted to show you all. www.freewebs.com/tmg32/wallpaper1.jpgit's 1600x1200 so if any of ya run that res on ya desktop then you're welcome to use it as a wallpaper.

Thanx dood! I did the wallpaper in photoshop - a few effects like smudge and text glow which makes it neat but has a bit of impact. I hope I release something too man! I just need to come up with a good story. I guess I could use the long story I am writing based on an invasion in between the "Reactor" and "Big gun", where a new facility has been built by the strogg - they always seem to come up with new things to build dont they? wierd... I really just want to get these maps out there and for you guys and gals to play em and tell me what you think about them. 7 years and not a map released! talk about over-fussy! I just need to work on the story and also actually build maps using my sketches and the prefabs I have which were also from concept sketches, then I should have something good.

Honestly TMG...I think you have some of the best maps I've ever seen in pics, it would be great for Q2 if you could get some out there for people to play on.

I don't think this has anything to do with this, but my tooth hurts!
PS: nice wallpaper and nice pics on you're website, I really wanna see this! PPS: why do you need a storyline? most of the best games have been destroyed by storyline, because sometimes the story stops envolving around the map but the map starts envolving around the story and that can get kinda lame!

A story may be a bit much for now. Maybe I should just have a goal, and the story is just used to describe the environment the player fins himself in instead of a foundation for the unit to try and build from... Then just have the maps with monsters in em and all you do is frag frag! frag!!
