I'm Back And A Lot Has Changed (How Long Has It Been Again?!)

[DarthDementous]

Hello everyone

Not sure if there's many left who remember me but I was reminded this forum existed from someone reaching out to me about the unfortunately long defunct Hrakert Station map I was working on once upon a blue moon. It made me want to re-engage with the community and see where the state of JK modding is in 2023 because my god it has been a long time. I think the last time I posted here was 2017 according to my activity log

A crazy amount of stuff has happened since then, with the world, with me. In some ways it's oddly poetic to return here because this was where my first foray into game development really started, and never in a million years did I think I'd return here all these years later having made it in the games industry

I'm now a gameplay programmer for Sledgehammer Games which has been amazing and surreal, particularly the times I've worked with some of the folks from current Raven Software. I never expected knowledge of JK's Quake 3 engine to become so useful and I can't say too much except that I'm glad I picked up GTK Radiant all those years back

Maybe I'll just comment on things, maybe I'll get the spark to give modding a go again with my newly developed skills - we'll see what happens. It's good to be back though, love what you've done with the place, that UI is very slick
