Paw Print What level designed by you, is your favorite?
T  In D1 it is Argon. D2 would be Suicide8.zip

 
Paw Print What level designed by someone else, is your favorite?
T  Minerva in D1 and Speed Racer in D2.

 
Paw Print How did you start playing Descent 1 or 2?
T  DL'd the SW version of Descent

 
Paw Print Why do you continue to play Descent?
T  It is the best game I've ever played and I've played over 3000 of them. There is not one dull moment.....

 
Paw Print Why do you spend countless hours designing levels?
T  Hmmmm, countless hours, well maybe when Devil 0.97 came out it took awhile. I guess it's the satisfaction I get seeing a completed level that I designed being played by many over the net.

 
Paw Print What is your "Design Philosophy"?
T  Well, if it's an Anarchy level, I try to make it as what I call 'Free Flowing' as possible. No hard to maneuver tunnels and at least 2 ways of getting out of each room. If it is for Normal Play (with bots), I try to make the level as tuff as I can without being impossible. Like having the right weapons for the right bots. Also, I enjoy making the player look a bit for the keys. I consider myself a Devious level designer when hiding the keys.

 
Paw Print What level Editor do you like and why?
T  Well, I started off with the very first Devil and still enjoy using Devil 1.2 for D1 and 2.1 for D2. Although the DMB editors look very promising.

 
Paw Print What do you want to say to the Descenter's that use your Levels?
T  I hope you enjoy my levels and if you have any suggestions or comments about any of my levels please feel free to e-mail me. I try to make the levels, Normal or Anarchy so that people will ply them over and over again.
