F.E.A.R Extraction Point (2006)

   

The first professional project I built levels for, F.E.A.R Extraction Point was released in October 2006. The thing that I'm most proud of about this project is knowing that I was part of a small team of Level Designers who helped the developer (Timegate Studios) gain credibility as an FPS developer, having previously never developed an FPS title. The game won PC Gamer's "Expansion Pack of the Year" for 2006
