So it’s been awhile since I’ve updated my blog. I decided now would be a good quick time to do so. I have been revamping my portfolio site a bit to get things into order. Along with that comes the Mirrors edge map and some other things like chells legend. I have lots of ideas that I just want to get out into the editor but it just takes too much time! Me and my buds PhilE and Sathor will be trying to get the first art pass on the Mirrors edge map here in another week or so. I’ve also been helping darth brush out with his Left 4 Dead campaign “Dead Before Dawn”. I did some scripting in the intro and I’m working on some co-op ideas also. Chells Legend has been kinda on the back burner since its such a huge project and takes a lot of time *sad face*. Sadly I’ve been sucked into playing Street fighter 4 and have started creating match videos of me playing people online! I am so addicted to this game it’s …. it’s just wrong. Expect some more visual updates from me in the future on all of the above.

SO! I picked up a copy of Ed Harrison’s ost music for the hl2 mod NeoTokyo the other day and I have to tell you! I’m really glad I did, it’s a really awesome 2 disk set of Ed’s music ffrom NeoTokyo. I’ve always loved the mods music and it has been great inspiration for me when I’m working. Pick up your copy today at CDBABY.com

Thank you ED!
