-- MY MOD PROJECTS --
Current Project!!
POSTAL 1 :: GOLDSRC EDITION
My biggest project right now!! I am recreating Postal 1 inside the GoldSrc engine
(the engine that powers Half-Life 1). This means taking the original Postal 1
experience -- the dark isometric world, the gameplay, the atmosphere -- and
rebuilding it as a proper first-person GoldSrc mod.
It is an insane amount of work. I am doing level design, entity scripting, custom models, UI, and more. But it is my passion project and I will finish it!!

Current Mood: hyped!! // Current Music: Half-Life OST - Scared
guys. GUYS. i just finished the first test map for the Postal 1 GoldSrc project
and it actually looks really good?? like i cannot believe how well the GoldSrc
engine handles this kind of environment. the lighting is perfect.
still so much work to do but this proves the concept is solid. i am so excited. gonna keep pushing. update coming soon with screenshots (maybe)!!

Current Mood: creative :) // Current Music: my own guitar lol
had a really good day today. spent the morning sculpting and the afternoon working
on UI mockups for the mod. i love days when i can just do creative stuff all day
with no interruptions.
also worked on a new guitar riff. not sure what it is yet but it sounds cool. maybe i will record it sometime and post it here if i figure out how lol.

Current Mood: proud :D // Current Music: System of a Down - Toxicity
ok so i finally decided on the full scope of the Postal 1 GoldSrc project.
i am going to recreate the first few acts at minimum. it is a crazy goal but
i genuinely believe i can pull it off.

-- HOBBIES AND INTERESTS --
What I Do With My Time!!
HL1 MODDING
GoldSrc is my home engine!! I love everything about it -- Hammer Editor, WAD textures, the whole workflow. Currently deep in the Postal 1 remake.
VISUAL ART
I draw and paint regularly. My style is dark / surreal. A lot of it ends up as inspiration or concept art for my mods.
GUITAR
Electric and acoustic. I taught myself and have been playing for years. Love metal, alt rock, and writing original riffs when the mood hits.
SCULPTURE
Mostly clay and found materials. There is something about making 3D things with your actual hands that feels different from digital modelling. Love it.
UI DESIGN
I design interfaces for mods and sometimes just for fun. Big fan of clean, readable layouts. Yes, I designed this page lol.
GAMING
Half-Life 1 obviously. Also Postal 1, early Valve stuff, and really any game with interesting level design. Love dissecting how games are built.
My Fave Games!!
>> Half-Life 1 | Postal 1 | Counter-Strike 1.6 | Opposing Force | Blue Shift
>> Doom | Quake | Team Fortress Classic | Deathmatch Classic
>> Doom | Quake | Team Fortress Classic | Deathmatch Classic
Random Facts!!
- i can spend 10 hours straight in Hammer Editor and not notice
- i have replayed Half-Life 1 more times than i can count
- my sculptures have scared multiple people. this is a compliment
- i play guitar without looking at my hands anymore which feels like a superpower
- spring in Ukraine is genuinely the most beautiful thing in the world
- i designed my first website at age 12 in Notepad. this is clearly going well
