My name is Teemu. Online/ingame, my nickname is Makaify (or Maka for short). I am a 24 year old male from Finland.
I decided to register on your forums for a couple of reasons: I want to be part of a dedicated community again, and I want to create zombie mod maps for CSS once again. Now, some of you guys might remember me... Way back in the day, like 10 years ago, I went by the name of Makaroonivelli on i3D. I was the head admin over there for a while. Those familiar with history will remember, EH was born on i3D servers originally as a clan. I made so many good friends back then, and honestly I miss those days. I only have a few people added in my Steam friends from those days... (ThirtyEight, Chechen, Salem and some others) I haven't been active on Steam for years, so I've lost contact with most people. Hopefully I'll be able to spot some familiar faces here, and reconnect with them, and also make some new friends as well.
After I left i3D, I went all in on level and games design. I joined a indie game studio called Greenlight Games (now a games publisher). I worked on two game projects as a lead level designer and project manager. Sadly, both of those games ended up being canceled mid production. I put my heart and soul into those projects, and after both of them failed, I was burned out badly. On most days, I would spend 10-14 hours working on maps, designs, schedules etc. It was hell... After that, I couldn't touch any games development software for a year... The past couple of months, I've slowly began working on new maps again. And now, I'm about to release a new version of one of my old maps: de_sewage. The map is pretty much done. The final compile has been done and all it needs now is the minimap, .nav, kv- and text files. I'll hopefully have the map out by tomorrow (Sunday). After that, I will start boxing out the new CSS zombie map. I have the overall design ready for it. It's going to take a lot of references from a legendary zombie map called 4way_tunnel, a hugely popular map back in the day. You are going to feel like you are in the same atmosphere, but it's going to be a whole new map. I can't wait to show some progress screenshots to you guys. It's going to be awesome!
If you want to chat with me, feel free to add me on Steam. I will try to check the forums frequently, but adding me on Steam is your best bet to contact me quickly.
I guess that's pretty much it for the introduction... sorry for the long read.

(Don't think I can link my indie game projects as they have been set to private, and I am still under a NDA)
