-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.

-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.

-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.

 Also the feeling of making a good mod with other people, and seeing it stranded because all of that particular nonsense.
-Work like [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/quoth.html|Quoth]] I appreciate, but then again... keep Quake as it was, not that quasi super engined Quake2 form. [[http://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/travail.html|Travail]] I know is good, but I still haven't got the time to play it.

-I started mapping with [[http://tread.planetquake.gamespy.com/|Tread]] I had to buy, I had no internet, I was doing it for my own pleasure. Seeing people doing also gives me a thrill. But I won't give certanties others will do so after 10 years.
