| I'm a 54 years old graphic designer from Holland, who, after reveiling its first fear for Quake's roughly nature, started mapping for the lust of playing with environnements and lightshades. When this pleasure slowly encountered the limits of obsession I thought it a good job to bundle these progressions to a map pak that could suggest an AddOn Pak. I'm active in the Q1 community since 2 februari 2003. | <span interview-answer>I'm a 54 years old graphic designer from Holland, who, after reveiling its first fear for Quake's roughly nature, started mapping for the lust of playing with environnements and lightshades.

| I'm still recompiling the Abandon mod to makeit a tight one, more story, better finished maps, etc. Reason why I don't have much time is that I also have a job to conduit. Maps like GruntGrenadin and PhantomPholly had me going on for nine months each, day in day out. I think that's too much asked for such a silly game, but I had only one goal: Making a map that would reach Quake standards for ever. | <span interview-answer>I'm still recompiling the Abandon mod to makeit a tight one, more story, better finished maps, etc. Reason why I don't have much time is that I also have a job to conduit.

| From the beginning I was impressed by the rough methodes people treated eachother. Maybe it's my language, maybe it is just the way a forum works. Soon I learned it wasn't the price of comitment I had to search there, 27 answers on a map for 9 months would only depress me. So I went back to the moment of my contribution: I like it, guess who. | <span interview-answer>From the beginning I was impressed by the rough methodes people treated eachother.
