90's mappers who are still active?

[Memfis]

What the topic says. Do you know any? I think it would be very interesting to see how their styles has changed through the years.

At the moment, I can remember only Paul Corfiatis (first release in 1998) and guys from Team TNT (1996).

[Grazza]

There are quite a few, though in some cases it isn't clear if their projects are still active. Off the top of my head:

Christopher Lutz, ReX claussen (Gurkha Boy), Enjay, Matt Tropiano, Afterglow, Mordeth(?), Tolwyn(?)

[The_MártonJános]

Pcorf has definitely improved. Just compare TZ and WOS.

[Lutz]

My back hurts and it's always too drafty, but yes, I'm still here.

[darkreaver]

Not sure if Brad Spencer and Pablo Dictter was mapping in the nineties, but they both had maps in AV, so maybe? I know they are both around here on DW, and at least Dictter just submitted a map to PCCP (map16 I think)

[kristus]

I'm still active. Though no one cared about anything I made before 2000.

Yeah baby! Twelve years and still rollin'! [In a wheelchair, maybe, but still rollin'.]

[EarthQuake]

Going on 14 years here. My works from 1997 to 2000 looked mostly like wads from 1994. My standards for level design didn't increase until about 2003, when I got home access to the internet and started playing some of the better user-made wads. My particular style hasn't changed much though... I've always been about creating maps that satisfy a certain niche of gameplay.

[Phobus]

I've not released anything I made from before around 2002 or so (and that was at the end of 2005), but I've been making maps since the mid-90s, so I'll count myself in on that.

[Use]

I have two maps from 1996-1997 I uploaded a long time ago (Hell Pit and Deep Core). I have a few more gems like those lying around when I continue my megawad.

Do they go incognito?

Also, what about traversd?

[MTrop]

I made a bunch of (crappy) maps that got released on AOL's file servers back in '96 and my first major release was in '98, so I think I count.

My recent contributions are in the upcoming Plutonia Revisited project, maps 6, 16, and 28. I'd like to think I've improved since then. :)

EDIT: Oh, hey - I didn't notice that Grazza already gave me a shout out. Well, there ya go.

I think Vorpal is Spencer. I might be wrong?

He's part of the forum for only 2 years...also,a brief search on /idgames for his name revealed nothing.Can you post a link with his old work?
EDIT:I'm referring to Tvventy

Sorry about that, I didn't know about his alias until late 2010, but I thought it was just my unique lack of knowledge ;)

I'd say some elements of his style have remained

[killer2]

About Caverns of Darkness...do you have any idea how I could run it with ZDoom?

[kristus]

Jan Van Der Veken is still around (back) and I am surprised no one mentioned Nick Baker yet.

Maybe I should make an update of that thing...

There's a patch by Graf Zahl (cod-zd.pk3); I do recommend downloading the whole thing from here (click on cc-cod underlined), you should find everything you need.

[killer2]

Thanks a lot.I have been willing to play that for a long time.

[Fletcher`]

I've been dooming/modding SINCE the early 90s, but I only started releasing stuff by 2001-2 or so.

[The_MártonJános]

So, are all those ol' rockin' chair mappers gathering here? :D

[DeathevokatioN]

Traverse Dunne, and Jan Van der Veken are ones that I know of that I don't think have been mentioned yet. Both great mappers!

[boris]

I made a couple maps in the (very) late 90's. I'm not famous, though.

ditto

[Use]

I guess this is modest mappers of the 90's

[Dutch Doomer]

I made maps in the late 90's, nothing really good though. I was still learning to map. It was an awsome period learning to make doom maps, now I just do it and not really enjoy it as much as I used to.

[Mechadon]

I started mapping in the late 90's but I've lost pretty much all of the stuff I made. Not that it would be worth playing mind you :P

[Dutch Doomer]

I would love to have all my old stuff back :( I want my huge square filled with monsters back dammit :p
