DeadWood was a western themed mod for the Half-life 2 Source engine. The creators of the mod came to me after playing Iron Grip: The Oppression and asked me if I would make them a Train map like Iron Grip Locomotive, because they loved the map and they knew it would fit their mods theme well. I made them a two maps before moving on to other projects. The final release of the project included, the western train themed map and one set on a steamboat slowly drifting down a bayou river at night. Both Maps feature effects to create the illusion that the vehicle that game play takes place on is actually moving. I utilized both sound a visual effects to make this convincing such as wind sounds whipping past you as you enter and exit train cars and scrolling textures to simulate the ground and surroundings moving past you. These effects helped make these maps some of the most unique levels in the game and brought a fresh excitement with original smaller layouts that would have seemed too small if they were normal city/nature based maps.
