This site was initially created a couple months after SiN was released. Many people like myself were interested designing levels for SiN, but had no clue as to how, and where to start from.

I had done some playing around with the editor trying to figure out how to do certain stuff, and along with help from the message boards, I figured out some stuff. I put a couple tutorials up on a Geocities site. A couple days later Ritualistic contacted me with an offer for hosting of a tutorials site. I agreed and created SiN : Blueprints.

Qoole 99 was on the horizon and was going to be the focus of the tutorial that were going to be written. Qoole's development got lagged and eventually dropped, although the latest version and source code has been released, though it's not completely functional. SinED is a very unstable program, and many people have a lot of trouble getting it to work. Since I was waiting for Qoole 99, the main reason the development of content for this site went slow.

I had been thinking to redesign this site, clean it up, update it and create a couple more tutorials for a while now, though I haven't figured out yet what these tutorials will be about yet. I have gotten a small amount of email from people asking me how to do stuff, and since I needed to do a web project for school, I killed 2 birds with 1 stone. There has been talk about a sequel to SiN happening, though no word on if it will happen or not. If in the future SiN 2 happens, I plan learning how to make levels and create tutorials for it.

My name is Mike Mullin. I am currently a student in Web Design. I have had an interest in level design for quite a while now, since the glory days of DooM.

There is not really much I can say about myself, so I'll fill a little space giving credit where its due. Thanks to www.ritualistic.com for the hosting, Ritual for making such a great game. To all the people I know in real life and online, family etc...
