Unreal Maps

I did a lot of level design for Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament under the pseudonym 'Squacky'. I even made a bit of money doing it part-time for some small commercial and educational products. I was an assistant lecturer for IDS:4387 Game Engines for the Digital Media department at UCF teaching Unreal Editor.

I also did a bunch of maps for the UnrealForever (U4E) mod. The mod won me a share of the prize money by placing in the Make Something Unreal contest. I made a bit of cash doing levels for an unreleased virtual reality project as well.

Finally, I was in negotiation to do 3rd party levels for two Unreal Engine games, X-Com:Alliance and Nerf Arena Blast, but both fell through unfortunately. X-Com:Alliance, which was an FPS based on the X-Com strategy game was cancelled. Nerf Arena dropped its 3rd party designers for unknown reasons (at least to me).

I have a mapping site on Planet Unreal and the many shareware maps I created for both Unreal 1 and Unreal Tournament which can be found on Fileplanet.
