Journal #712

A thing I find realy cool is how lots of the new mods that are in the works right now have realy good mappers, modilers, storylines, custome textures, and websites. The HL engin in its first few years had every pearson under the sun making a mod, site, map, whatever. Now that HL is 5 years old you can see lots of dedicated ppl working with it. You see ppl that have spent years now tenkering with the SDK, tenkering with ways to map, tenkering with textures, and ppl tenkering with models.

Now that I have a few years of mapping and messing with hl/other games, I am finding that I realy wont to use my mapping skils, some ideas of going into the industy and also lots about working on my own mod, and some on getting involved with a mod that has a good story, texture artist, coders, modilers, and other ppl that know what they are doing when it comes to doing these things.

I also find my self wishing that I had HL earlyer, and got into mapping a few years before I had gotten into this stuff. I can see my self working on some of these great mods that have been started / nearing compleating / coming soon.
