Paw Print So Kevin, tell us a little something about your self.
I am Hotel Mgr. Interests include Making Descent2 levels (Most of my levels are for single player) Also I like Kali multiplaying (newcomer), and Keyboards(music). Married, two children.

Paw Print What level designed by you, is your favorite?
I have several favorites, They include Hygeia6c, Vesta04, and Mirand31.zip

Paw Print What level designed by someone else, is your favorite?
Anexia1, Aquachsm, PPG HALL, Utraearthshaker, The Eligies, and Gigadth2. For D1 Ilike Chaos Mission 2 , Minerva

Paw Print How did you start playing Descent 1 or 2?
This guy at work brought in the Descent shareware and loaded it on the office computer. I became eventually hooked. I purchased my own copy of registered, then found Devil level editor, and started making my own levels.

Paw Print Why do you continue to play Descent?
Its the best game out there. The upgrades to the game periodically keep my interest fresh. It doesnt seem inclined towards evil.

Paw Print Why do you spend countless hours designing levels?
Level making is an obsession for me. The thrill of creating something that entertain others keeps my attention focussed. I lke the choice to do something artistic.

Paw Print What is your "Design Philosophy"?
I start with the room macros. I make rooms that seem real and have unique architecture.

Paw Print What level Editor do you like and why?
I use Devil21h to make most of the Macros, and to insert items. DMB2 is used to do the textures, and the connecting corridors.also I like the new blinking lights and the robot workshop, and the custom textures possible with DMB2. I use Descent Studio to Make Hog files(multiple levels) Dtx2 and Paint Pro are used to get the custom textures. I use DTX to import custom music files.These editors are used for ease of operation.

Paw Print What do you want to say to the Descenter's that use your Levels?
I really like the feedback.

Paw Print Is there anything you think I should include in this interview section? (So it properly portray's you the person)
You might put in the thanks to People and Companies, I list in the credits located on my text files
