Long timers and new comers, your Mapcore history

    Just started this year!


    For the past couple of years, I was considering a career in game art for a while. At the time I was a real fanboy for the UWE studio for Natural Selection 2. I loved all the "inside the studio" videos and getting to know the developers. I elected to pursue environment art/level design so I shot up an email to one of the environment artists for the game and asked for advice on how to get to where he was (without attending some school).


    I was already familiar with polycount and mapcore but I was advised to try them out. Fast forward some time, and I finally made an account for the two sites.


    Still such a long way to go though

    Mazy is like the old Grandad of Mapcore now

    He's one of the reasons I know mapcore… I interviewed him and PhilipK, Flayra and other bigs for the HLItalia portal I was editor for at the time. He also made maps for The Specialists, which has been made by a bestie of mine.Guess that stalking 'em, or because of some cross links, found the forum… stalked the community for about 10 years than joined when I decided I wanted to get back into level design and actually try to get into the industry.

    I have no idea how I got on Mapcore. I still see it as a magical awakening.

    9 years, shit


    I am getting old. Its good to know now you can actually professionally make games now though.

    I would have thought that 9 years ago ...


    I do have to say I still feel like the stranger here. Even though I was able to stalk Hp for one time.


    Its a sad story I was never the first Belgian guy here. Thanks Peris! Thanks for ruining my mapcore glory

    i dont remember how or why i found mapcore but it was fun trolling irc and getting banned over and over from ns IRC channel and mapcore IRC channel.


    i remember the rage about my maps and how i decompiled them made the forums just explode


    i have been here since 2003 i think.


    i gave up mapping in 2006 and started making music and now i can atleast make music.
