Due to an extreme amount of boredom, I thought I might have an interview with the H in Gunter. H in Gunter is an enigmatic character, though G and U consider him to be quite brilliant. This is what he had to say:

R: Hello H
H: Salutations, sex bomb.

R: I hear you're working on a rather big project at the moment, can you tell us anything about that?
H: This is very good maple syrup, perhaps we shall chug some?

R: That's a bottle of bacon grease
H: Very well, if you are not hungry

R: OK... Can you tell me about any future plans you might have?
H: Plans are only as accurate as time, R. And what is time but an excuse to have longer lunch brakes?

R: But my lunch brake is only one hour...
H: Sucks to be you [laughs], care for some bacon grease?

R: That's a bottle of maple syrup...
H: All the same... [drinks the syrup]

R: What's your opinion on the global warming debate?
H: I would blame the cows If I wasn't one.

R: What?
H: Moo.

R: Er... It's been a joy talking to you, H.
H: Gunter is not spelled with an H. [winks out of existence, or just went for some more coffee]

Well, that was quite nice, don't you think? Sorry for any tumors sustained while reading this tripe. If you have any complaints please go shove them where they belong...

...In the complaint box, thank you.

I thought it would be nice to do a short interview with the I in IMUS since this is the first map release in months. I in IMUS is a man of few words, but when he does talk he is blunt, serious, and short.

Mansion 3: Freeman Residence Interview

M in IMUS: So this is your first map release in awhile, tell me about the map?
I in IMUS: Long journey.

M: Did you ever change your plans?
I: Of course.

M: So what was wrong with the original plan?
I: Uninteresting, couldn't do it.

M: What have you done to address past complaints(bland wall, little detail)?
I: No real long hallways, made sure to use standard textures, and add variety to wall detail.

M: How long did you work on this map?
I: On and off, for about two years(large breaks - school, other maps, etc..)

M: Having done quite a few maps what do you think is the best process/way to improve your skills?
I: Not only should you plan out your map, but also like your design/plan.

M: Will at first you liked your plan right?
I: Yes, but new ideas were found and the old ones where found uninteresting in comparison. Some old ones where used else where.

M: Plan on joining a mod team anytime soon?
I: Yes, would join as a mapper and sound/music designer.

M: By the way does Mansion 3 feature any of your custom music?
I: It did, but I take it out.

M: Next up is...?
I: Anything, but Mansion or horror maps. Planning on more casual maps(basic HL2 mechiances)

M: Thanks for the interview

Will some of those question where/are really bad, but overall I got some new in-sight into the making of the map and how a mapper thinks. Fun interview and it's always cool to see how someone is thinking. Sorry for any mispellings.

The Mansion 3: Freeman Residence should be released soon.

The M in IMUS and I in IMUS have started work on a team project where we will basically expand our knowledge of mapping and learn from each other as we also learn to work as a team.

Just finished the Middle Boss Scene for Half-Life Funny Force, its odd that your fighting a helicopter box, but I thought it was awsome as it has differnt breakable parts on it and when its destroyed it has one hell of an explosion. K, here is 4 pics of part of Wood Hazard.

Following in the footsteps of John Lasseter, I've decided to brand all my design and level design work under my own company. Scrub Studios comes from the word scrub, which is a term used when you spool through something frame by frame. For example, when you scrub through a film, you're going through it frame by frame at your own pace.

It's also because I love Scrubs.

Site'll be up again properly sometime soon, with all new content.

Oh, and that logo is my own Illustrator work (my first actually, Illustrator is so cool), not a normal typeface (well, the Studios bit is a normal typeface).

Bloody feckin' homosexual day. Nearly broke my left hand at work today. Luckily, it ended up being a heavy joint bruise. That means no proper typing, which means no proper coding for a week or so..
Hopefully, it'll heal soon and I'll be getting back to all the projects I'm in. :)

EDIT: Ffs, it took me 5 mins to type this.. :roll:

I thought I would break with tradition and say:

Wow, I have logged in 99 times! Not as many as others who log in 10 times a day!!! :aghast:

Now Im sort of attached to the fourms, never was origanly, but anyways, onto the news.
FF was put on a hold because I was away for 6 days, back now and came up with 2 things.

1.After FF or between its creation, im going to make a puzzle hazard course since I love puzzle maps.

2.I came up with a level name for the chapter Oddesy, the level is going to be called Wood Hazard, dont know how im going to make a shit load of breakable wood but still keep the player laughing, but ill find a way.

Started working on Wood Hazard, so far its just empty rooms, they look better then my map I had called 20, even though this map got 1 hour and that got 20 minutes, its still looking really good, hopefully I keep makeing It look good. For some reason I feel like mapping for my mod Half-Life Independent Force, I think its cause of how good Wood Hazard is looking.
