It also means Iikka made Hydro as well :) This solves the mystery of the Yen symbol in Badlands then. It also means Iikka made Hydro as well :)

Those drawing skills are incredible, i want to be able to do that, too (tutorial on that?) Also, what about some ingame screens of the very first versions?

It's always nice to have a valve-mapper interview, I see so few of them, and they always help me out a lot. Also fun to see that those sketches are about as good as mine, heh. Awesome.

From a 6v6 standpoint I really appreciated the fact that you work so long and put so much thought into your maps (as is apparent looking at the success of cp_badlands). Hydro was probably no easy feat I'd imagine. Hope more Valve employees can do more of these to provide more insight on mapmaking, and provide newer mappers and players with tips to get themselves started.
