Journal #4374

I was asked by our medical group to share my hobbies with everyone. Little do they expect to have a hardcore gamer among them.

I am planning to talk about my level design experience and demonstrate my various mapping projects. I'll illustrate the process of mapping.

Here is a brief outline:
