Author's Notes
--------------
Ok Bear with me a little, this is my last map as Lestat, so i am going to ramble.. Muhahah
I always loved the Character "Lestat" and a few years ago I adopted it as my Online name, and eventually
it also became my level designer name,I made quite a few unreal maps under that name and continued to do so
with UT, I also took 2nd place in the MSUC (Make Something Unreal Contest) In the texture category with that
name and started up a website called "Lestat's Levels" That was hosted by Unreal Kingdom and The MSUC contest
both of which are now down, Anyway, I had a lot of fun taking on the role of the Brat Prince Lestat, the 
incorrigible immortal vampire whose name I brashly used, but I never really made my maps have anything to do
with the Anne Rice character, and this map doesnt either, but it is a Vampire themed map, and I really fell in love
with vampire stories because of Anne RIce and the Lestat character, so it has influenced me I guess. 
A friend of mine introduced me to the books several years ago, and I have loved them ever since, My friend is now dead.
But thats another story for another time, he used to call me "Hillgiant" When I would go over to his house, and
everyone had silly nicknames, so Mine wasnt so bad (THere was Skippy, wiggly, and piggy just as some examples,hehe)
So I decided to adopt the name Hillgiant to start up my new page on PlanetUnreal who have been cool enough to host
my site and keep my creative juices flowing so to speak. But I felt I should make One last map as Lestat, so this
is my Final map as Lestat,I have also enclosed a picture of me holding up some artowork given to me by a 
gited woman by the name of Ruth Thompson, Of all the maps I have made, I really miss making Single Player maps,
and to me, my crowning achievement was making a level called "The Last King" and its Offshoot, "Ancient Future"
which was one of the first levels that supported S3 texture compression, When I won 2nd place in the MSUC contest
Ruth Thompson further enriched and encouraged me by sending me some prints of some of the artowork I used, to me
this was a great honor,and I thought it was really cool to be recognized by someone as talented as her,
anyway, I am still making maps and now I am more dedicated to textures, and things that other level designers can
use as well. This level is one such level, feel free to use the textures !! thats what they are for! as well as the sound 
package. THe 2 texture packs lestatpack, and lestatpack2, were designed for people to use, the other one, vampireart
is just some pictures i have had for a while that i found on the internet and decided to import into UT.
THe sound package is sounds i have found on the net, and one looping wind sound i exported from Unreal
and changed around a little with a sound editor, just to get a different wind sound. Ok speaking of wind i think I am about 
out of breath. Thx for reading this, and thx to everyone who has played any of my maps over the last couple of 
years as Lestat, Lestat now has his coffin and his castle, abd since there are Sooo many Lestats out there
I give him to someone else, I was really surprised Nobody else used the name, there are tons of Lestats out there,
and I am sure someday another one will come along and make Unreal levels, to whoever it is, I wish you well.
Now, I am Up to the hills to keep working, but this time, I am a Giant, Muahahaha! :)

                  DMNightowl-UT DM map, city theme.
                  DMHeaven's Edge-UT DM map.
                  CTF2fortsLava-UT CTf map, A map I made when UT first came out, just to learn to make CTF maps.Ugh
                  AS-Instigator- Ugh, same story, made it to make an assault map, good end cutscene though.
                  DMWormhole-UT DM map with outer space theme. Up on my page currently.
                  Well thats all I can remember im sure i forgot some, but with this map that makes 24
                  Unreal/Ut maps all together woohoo!
                  Ok I guess I have to start spending more time on my maps now, hehe.Im not a rookie anymore
                  This map here (LestatsCastle) should have been a lot more detailed, but I wanted to
                  get on to some other things, and I think people with low end computers will have mediocre
                  frame rates anyway due to some of the architecture/brushwork/ lighting, etc. etc.
                  Anyway to me UT is meant to be played with higher end machines, so thats what i shoot for.
