Where's W̶a̶l̶d̶o̶ Max?

[Caenwyr]

Say, I've been wondering for a while now, and recently started scouring the forum: where's Max?

Max has always been an example for me. I spent my first mapping years drooling over his maps, and I still sometimes look at his work for inspiration or stylistic ideas. I've subconsciously been waiting for new maps from him for a while now, but only recently noticed how long that already is. I looked it up: it looks like he's been inactive since May 2017? Even his own website seems to have gone dormant.

Does anyone know what happened to him? I don't know him personally, but I do hope he's fine.

I've been wondering about him too! He was the one who originally inspired me to actually think of maps as art, and some of his work still ranks among my all-time fave maps. I hope his doing alright.

I feel like I heard that he is working for a game company and that was why he hasn't been seen around.
But I don't really know. I also thought Thomas knew something.

I think this is his latest work https://www.deviantart.com/maximepla...1700-671373632
So seems pretty active on Deviant art at least.

He posted that here too, and that is dated 2017, so not exactly recent.

Yes but his answer on that post is dated Nov 2018...

Ooh so that's recent! Good tip Naima. I suppose he's still around then, but no longer mapping? Or at least not now? Curious what ThomasR will have to say about it!

Hey folks !
I know he has been working for several production by publishing company "Les XII Singes" ("Into the Odd", "Abstract Dungeon", "Dieux Ennemis") and by the look of it he has produced a large body of maps ! I'm pretty sure he'll come back around here but I have no idea when.

I've also found myself wondering now and then where Max went. Along with many others over the years - Ascension, Ramah, Schwarzkreuz, Ravells, Arsheesh, Coyotemax, Viking, Steel General, Schley, TheRedEpic, and countless others...

Most of them resurface from time to time.
Otherwise they remain hidden, stalking us silently.
