Well, I'm still waiting for that F-Stop game mechanic. Is there any way to get that very first Portal 2-demo? I've been very curious ever since I read that article about it

I had never been good at playing compeditive games.. but I started modding when I was 11.
A very good start could be the gothic series (1+2), I learned a lot back then and the community is still allive. This community tought me simple 3d-moddeling, simple script-writing, storry writing, simple but effective texture-editing and base-mapping skills in a few months.
The hammer-tools seem very complicated when you don't know anything about editors but are also easy to understand if you spend some time watching tutorials. I'd still only recommend them after you started with something easier but that's just my oppinion(:

I've got tons of story-matherial in my head.. but I don't have any idea HOW it should be realized.. Mybe through source 2? I'm a bit annoyed by the shader-bugs but that's the only thing that could possibly be better.
So, if anybody needs help with a storry or simple 3d-models, I'll do my best(:
