-g1zm0 interview-

With the next release of Rocket Arena III just around the corner (this coming Sunday), we here at Kablooie! thought it would be fun to interview one of the best mappers in the community, g1zm0. With classics like Gizbang for ra2, Japanese Castles for q3, and more, many people have been looking forward to his ra3 multi-arena. Rest assured, you will not be disappointed! Without further delay, here's our interview with g1zm0 and some screenshots from his new multi-arena...

K!: What first inspired you to start mapping?

g1zm0: We used to play multiplayer doom2 between 2 computers at my house back when I didn't have internet access. A friend turned me on to a doom2 editor, and I made a few maps for us all to play in. Of course, I had to make the the area I lived in =) (no I never released them, dunno if they still exist)

K!: Many creative people draw inspiration from things completely unrelated to the medium they work in (books, movies, music, etc.). Where do you draw inspiration from?

g1zm0: Anywhere and everywhere, I get a lot from books, and online. If I'm going to make a map, especially a map with a theme I will research that theme as much as I can from online, magazines, books, wherever I can find something on it.

K!: Coke, Pepsi, or Canfields Chocolate Soda?

g1zm0: Usually Pepsi, but an occasional Coke, chocolate soda ? yuk
