Welcome to my channel, here you will find gaming videos, tutorials and musical attempts in FL. My niche is Valve Games and I have made maps from HL1 all the way to CS2. It is worth mentioning that since 2013 I have an all-time favorite map on GameBanana (de_mesa) and that I have been featured on the Steam Workshop frontpage in 2020 (de_trim) and MODDB Top 1000 MODS (Half-Life: The Volcano). In addition to this I have made maps for different CS communities, some of which are still played today and one of my maps has a wiki page.
