Yep, Bastion was my first map for any game. I followed it up a few months later with The Marcher Fortress. I have since become a professional mapper, although I have been tinkering away on a Doom3 map in my spare time for a few months now.

I must have missed it, when did this happen? Where are you working at? 

I think marius is being shy. He's posted a review of Adamantine Cruelty. 

Thanks for the dates. 

Mail sent. 

my pleasure. 

Kinn, again I am in awe of your mapping skills. This level is a masterpiece...and your first?
Phenominal architecture and ferocious gameplay. Please if you find yourself with time on your hands (he he) give us more. I've still yet to beat your level but continue on...alas I'm a pretty lame Q1sp player. 

If you liked Bastion, I am sure you'll like Kinn's 2nd project, Marcher Fortress: http://www.planetquake.com/underworld/quakerev050114d.html 

Appreciate the link, but I actually discovered Marcher first, which totally blew me away...best Q1 level ever imho. This one is not too far behind.
