Journal #5914

I wrote this a few hours ago but the oldies came home and asked me to do house work so Axel's driving test doesn't apply anymore cause he failed but here it is:

It's been a while since I updated the "Journal".

Just thought I'd wish Livewire good luck with his driving test today. You'd think I'd be driving since I'm older but I never really had a desire to learn and I stopped after my 13th lesson.

Livey told me he is more determined because he wants to get away from his hometown. You should see the pictures of his old school

In other news, I've been enjoying my summer off so far and have been learning the tricks and trades of 3D modelling. Some of you may know that I modelled some props for Hunter's Glasgow map which by the way looks really good and needs to be released soon.

I've also been helping Livewire with his COD4 Wetworks recreation for L4D by coverting some brushwork rails into models so he can flip the boat. It's looking great from all the webcam feeds I saw despite the gay glare.

At the moment I've gone back to my horror map for EP2 because my third year university project requires me to write a dissertation and I chose to analyse how sound effects affect the players actions and psychological aspects in the horror genre so I'm using my old map as a base. I managed to find my gut wrenching sound effects which I got off freesounds.

Lastly I "was" going to attempt a TF2 map involving water elements where the players would have to make the water rise and change direction in order to get to the next capture point. Think Water Temple from Zelda: TP with the water slides. I managed to get water to scroll and faked it by flipping a water brush upside down. It worked pretty well but I lack the skills to create a TF2 map so meh. I owe Kasperg for the texture anyway since I ripped it from his BSP and made my own with his VMT. Mwuaha.
