Intermediate mapper when it comes to Half-Life² I/O, less talented in regards of building good-looking maps. Haven't mapped in years so I'm a little rusty. Made a few attempts at amateur voice acting. Chronically ill and disabled, accordingly fewer spoons.

I have no idea why I picked that username anymore to be honest; I think it was between my "post-soviet post-atomic horror is cool" phase and my "I should learn Dutch" phase? Past me, what were you doing.

After deciding that all my passion projects are more ambitious than I can curren... CPripyatUit Level Boundaries CPripyatUit • 5 months ago2024-05-23 19:41:57 UTC That's another thing that's hard: limiting the space the player can move in. It's easy if the level is indoors, all corridors, like Nova Prospekt or the likes: just lock the doors. Nature's limit on l... CPripyatUit Objective design CPripyatUit • 7 months ago2024-03-24 01:13:10 UTC Every map has to be about something.
