VANGUARD (beta) ========================================================================================================= Date : 30th September 2003 Title : Vanguard (beta) Filename : vanguard_beta.bsp Author : ReNo [Duncan Blair] Email Address : reno@elva-mod.co.uk , reno@deadpan-studios.co.uk ICQ# : 28651662 MSN : renobutsomebassnickedmynick@hotmail.com Home Page : http://evolution.hlgaming.com http://www.elva-mod.co.uk Installation Info : Unzip the contents of this zip to your half-life folder and all the files will go to their correct location. Map Description : This map was created for the snarkpit mapping contest. The aim of the contest was to create a level based on a piece of concept art. I chose to base a level on an environment created by Sparth - the piece of art is included in the zip file. I went through many different maps in the life of this contest, before finally coming to work on this one. Due to time constraints, I have unfortunately not been able to complete the level, and so this beta version is my entry. Hopefully I will be able to work on this project further, and so turn it into a proper deathmatch map. Please note that due to the deadline I was unable to run VIS fully. This is despite leaving it to run on netvis with 4 powerful computers for 20 hours...its not my fault, blame the rockwork! Other Works by Author : [1] Obsolete... HLDM [2] Elixir...

I am a 19 year old currently studying BSc Computer Games Technology at the University of Abertay in Dundee, Scotland. Fingers crossed after getting this degree I will become a fully fledged Level Designer working in the industry :) Outside of level design I am a skateboarder, rollerblader, ice skater and snowboarder. I listen to ska/punk/emo music and play a helluva lot of computer games! I am also a member of a small student games development team based in Dundee. ====================================================================================================== == Play Information == Single Player : No [1 start] Cooperative : No Deathmatch : Not yet!
