At least a year!
Okay, so I haven't posted a new plan since May of 2003. What all has changed since then? Quite a lot...
For one, I'm currently honing my mapping skills in preperation for Orbz 3. I've done a handful of maps for Orbz 2 including (in order of creation):
Conjoined Reality
Skyheight
Swampside
Waterfall Vale
All of these can be found in the latest official Orbz Map Pack v3.
As for new maps and honing my skills, I decided to take the Hardcore Mapper skill I once used out of the closet, dusted it off and fit it back into place. I'm currently working on what I refer to as a 'Next Generation' Orbz course for Orbz 2 that includes a lot of detail. On the back-burner I have another course that uses a lot more detail including the use of a technique I figured out to make "Fake Shaders" (most modelers can probably figure out what I did already).
Aside from all that, I'm still plowing away at school with a 3.7 or 3.75 GPA (retched thing keeps swaying around...). Lost my day job for T-Mobile, but hey... that just gives me more time to make games and annoy the heck outta Jason Richardson for things to add to his editor.
Oh, and as for Orbz again, I have also been working on a master script file for all my new detail assessts for extremly easy modifcation of them (directory structure, animation calling, etc.)
Then of course there are 2 other projects that I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about, so I'll just say... "I'm also working on 3 other projects. No, I have no life."
3?
And on the other other hand, go see Spider-Man 2. Now. If you're at work, this movie is more important. Come on! Act like a 3D Realms employee and take a break from game making for a day!
(J/K to all your 3D Realms guys! I for one am still looking forward to Duke Nukem Forever, even though I might need to watch my grandchildren play by the time it comes out....)

Turns out it was the address to (someone the third... can't remember currently...). He was surprised someone actually found the address and said I was the first to e-mail him. (He asked me to send him a map I was doing and I showed him, but never heard from him again... I guess it was just that bad, lol! Unfortunetly, I really wish I could have a copy of that map back, because that was long before I made good backups and have long since lost that map, which I spent a whole summer creating and learning how to make through reverse engineering the existing Duke3D levels!)

He left after that to work at Ritual.
I used to play DUKE3D Via the Modem all the time with Randy Pitchford, since he'd pay the bill and call. He used to go by "Mr. Pink" & "DuvalMagic".
A few years later I found out he founded Gearbox software later on. That was a really wierd find.
