Recently people have been asking me what I have been up to so I figured I’d post an update on my blog again.

Team Fortress 2 – Animation

A few months ago I decided I want to make an animation featuring the Team Fortress 2 characters. I told most of you guys about the project but all I’ve shown you is just a few test renders of the facial rig in action and some images. (including the one featured above)

Now I haven’t given up on this project but I have been postponing it for quite some time now. Not because I don’t like to work on the project but because it takes a lot of time and currently I have to prioritize a lot of my projects because I’m very busy getting my school work done as well.

Portal 2 – Custom Map – Biohazard

Not all of you know about this but I have been working on a Portal 2 map as well. It’s sad that I started to work on it back when the Authoring Tools were released and I still haven’t been able to finish it. I completed like 90% of it but I still have to fix some small glitches and add some missing parts.

The Coop Crowd has already played an Alpha version of the map and that has helped me to improve the design of the level as well.

Garry’s Mod – Fretta Gamemode – Top This!

This project is even older. I started working on it just before the release of Portal 2. This project is also almost done.

I will update my blog with more information about the gamemode when it’s completed.

Initially it won’t be available for download but you will be able to play it on the JokerIce Fretta Mini-Games server.

Of course you will need Garry’s Mod to play this gamemode.

So that’s three projects that I have been working on.

I hope to post more about these projects in the near future but as of right now I am focusing on getting all my school-related work out of the way.

Be sure to keep an eye on the blog. Biohazard and Top This! should be done soon.
