Hi all Wolfers!

Well the past few months has been busy for everyone in the Wolfing scene it seems and time for working
on Wolf related things is not easy to find. The MMC (Monthly Mapmaking Contest) at the Die Hard Wolfers
forums has slowed down somewhat as a result, with people wishing to work on their own mods or just
have a break altogether. However it's great to be able to work on Wolf at this pace - a map once every month
or even every two months - there's no pressure and it's good to be able to keep involved without having
to labour over an intensive mod. Seeing as I'm working full time these days (at a media company called
"CNBC Africa") time is harder to come by but there's always enough time for a level a month :) Oh and
I do intend to make the odd level for EoD as I did with the Xmas one. I dunno, the MMC has really
got me wanting to do a full map addon for something, but finding the time is the issue. One day for sure
I hope,

One thing the MMC has done is to introduce some high quality maps onto the scene - I guess that
competitive element makes people put a lot of effort into just one level and it shows. I was fortunate
enough to win the first few competitions but haven't won another since then despite my best efforts. The
current map making champion is RonWolf and there are others who have shown too that they are likely
to pinch the "title" in time to come. Can I win it back? Hmmm ... I don't know, but the devil in me is
wanting to play :)


Poet's "Ghosts"

In addition to making maps for the MMC, I've been working on a level for Poet's (Paal Olstaad) upcoming mod "Ghosts". I played his mod "Doll's House" which consists of only one single level, but it packs 5 levels
of gameplay into the one level. It's more of a puzzle solving game that the typical action fare dished out
by most Wolf mods, but I found it to be a refreshing change with some tough challenges along the way.
It required DosBox to play, and although I'm not overly keen on DosBox, once I was into the game I
found it to be well worth the trouble.

I'm about half way through the level I'm making for Poet and I hope it can do justice to the excellent puzzle
element he put into "Doll's House". Time will tell :)


Anyway, that's all for now.

Til next time, happy Wolfing!
AReyeP and MCS
