Games
- Containment
- Containment is a single player platform game being developed on the Scirra Construct engine, a DirectX 9.0 engine for Windows. It is about territory control with some kind of tower defense backing it up. There will be four main characters at the player’s disposal, these guys are the main characters of the webcomic Existence Unknown.
- Super Marine Bros
- free and open source
- This is a crossover game between Super Mario Brothers on the NES and Natural Selection being developed on the Scirra Construct engine, a DirectX 9.0 engine for Windows. The Natural Selection marine has to fight his way trough the world of Super Mario Bros
Map Design
- Company of Heroes
- Fortress Groningen, this map is based on a real fortress called Vesting Bourtange in the north of the Netherlands. It isn’t a 100% recreation, mind you. This is due to gameplay limitations. But I did try to make it look like the Fortress. Vesting Bourtange is shaped like a pentagram, which I thought would be pretty interesting to base a Company of Heroes map on.
- Fortress Groningen Ruins, the previous map, on which this one is based, has been demolished at both manpowerpoints. Some buildings inside the town also took damage and are on fire. The main reason for this utter lack of respect for this historical monument was, that I needed two entrances to enter the fortress. So I took down the levees with loads of artillery and airstrikes. This resulted in the levees collapse and left the area under siege as a scarred mess.
- Natural Selection
- co_cerberus, instead of getting a well earned rest after their battle against the Kharaa on Achio, the marines now find themselves fighting for their lives. This ship must be defended if the marines want to get home. This is because Achio has been damaged severely and can not move under its own power. The communications array of Achio also has been damaged making Cerberus their only lifeline with Central Command.
- ns_achio is most likely the biggest map ever created for NS, but due to the engine limitations I had to cancel a few areas. I made it look like there's much more to the ship than is seen by the player with the use of broken inaccessible areas, closed doors and elevations which hint at more areas...
- ns_achio (revised), I started this map to fix many of the things wrong with the original Achio. Things which changed/were fixed compared to the old Achio:
- Lack of cover/large open spaces throughout the map and hallways
- Over-stressing the engine resources used (lag on slower pc's and overall netlag)
- The style and texturing used
- Added more detail throughout the map
The layout is roughly the same, but the size of the map is smaller. Everything has been tweaked to resemble an actual space ship, with levels (or decks). The hallways bend around architecture which would be located on the different levels, but extend into the lower or higher levels.
I gave the lighting a complete revision. With the use of more contrasting and more colorful lights. This was to counter the washed out look the old Achio had.
It also has a few "unique to this map" gameplay additions!
- Hives based bacterium lockdown resnodes
- Weldable resnode
- Alien only trough wall teleporter, similar to the movement chamber
- Two button security door
- Lack of cover/large open spaces throughout the map and hallways
- Natural Selection 2
