Developer BIO

Bobby Pavlock's passion for level design dates back to the Doom/Doom II days, when he authored several popular Doom 2 wads. He continued his work in level design, releasing award-winning levels for Quake and Quake II, before he was finally discovered and snatched up by the industry.

Bobby first entered game development in 1998 as a level designer at Ion Storm on Daikatana, after which he moved to Rogue Entertainment to help craft American McGee's Alice.
