A pleasure to be here.


(Bastion_) #1

Greetings!
My name is Kieran, although typically I prefer to use Bastion, has a better ring to it for me.

I spend the vast majority of my time making levels for games, nothing professional (sadly), but instead as a hobbyist and occasional freelancer.
Multiplayer levels are what I started working with and still work on (games like Counter-strike and Teamfortress) although it is a challenge when you need to setup a group of people to help test it since I don’t have access to a group of people willing to help. So every so often I switch over to singleplayer (games such as Skyrim and Half-Life)

Here are a couple shots of some of my work if you’re interested:




I have a couple projects in the work currently, Still going through layout ideas, cutting out things that don’t work and looking to see what can be improved. I keep the wall that’s against my desk plastered with drawn layouts to take ideas from.

Currently my regularly played games are, in no particular order:

[ul]
[li]Dirty Bomb
[/li][li]Payday 2
[/li][li]Metro (2033 and last light)
[/li][li]Skyrim
[/li][/ul]

I can be found on Twitter here if that takes your fancy: https://twitter.com/KhBastion

Great first post, welcome.

You may or may not be aware, but there are some really talented map and asset creators around these parts for a little game called Enemy Territory that always seem keen to see new faces.

You might enjoy having a read of this thread: It’s time

Welcome to the forums.
I agree with Mustang, great first post. I especially like the atmosphere of the second sample shot you provided. Dirty Bomb is a fantastic choice for a Multiplayer game. Maybe we’ll see each other there for the occasional match. :wink:
Since Mustang already brought it up, I would like to also welcome you to the Enemy Territory section of this forum. Talents for map creation are always welcome.

Cheers

Thanks for the welcome, I’ll make sure to check out the Enemy territory sub-forum soon and see if it gives me any ideas to work with.
