Natural Selection

Natural Selection was my first real mod contribution and remains my most successful work to date.

In late 2001, I started fiddling around with the NS Tech Release on what I called ns_veil. Around April 2002, I realized I hated it and started fresh with a new level called ns_eclipse. Eclipse took off, especially with some drastic re-construction in the last stages of playtesting, and went on to become one of the most popular levels released for NS.

I rekindled the Veil name for a spiritual successor to Eclipse (even sharing some architecture I cut from old builds) in time for NS 2.0, but unfortunately due to other projects and eventually my job, I was unable to contribute any additional levels.

Veil was one of 4 new levels included in Natural Selection 2.0 and, like Eclipse, quickly became a popular member of the official map rotation.

Eclipse was one of seven levels released in the first public release of Natural Selection in October 2002, and quickly rose to be one of the most popular NS levels.
