trouble in paradise, part 1

I've made a comic to spread some interest in my current project, the villa. It follows the misadventures of two friends as they seek refuge from the combine. Enjoy!

vacation time is over... sort of

Since the completion of the second beta release of my map, I decided that I needed a break. Well, now I need a break from my break, but I want to work on something other than my map until I can get some feedback on it. I don't know what I'm going to work on in the meantime, but whatever it is, I will be posting pictures of it soon. God knows you can never have too many pictures!

i think i might have finished the second beta

I feel like I have spent far too much time working on this second version of the level. The work involved with adding the extra content has been fine, and for the most part it's been fun. I'm talking about the process of wrapping up loose ends that comes after the addition of said content. I must have spent hours just adjusting the lighting to make sure the shadows were cast right, or fixing two hours worth of mistakes with three hours of work... and I am still loving this. That's something else.


Here's the latest batch of updates for your hungry, hungry eyeballs.
