Derek MacDonald (Afterglow)

Derek MacDonald (aka Afterglow) is known for contributing maps and textures to the Doom community. He is a member known for his belligerent attitude just as much as his over-detailed Doom II maps.

His first release was The Seventh 07: Final Portal, a collobration with Michael "prower" Reid. This was followed up with a 6 map deathmatch series entitled SacrificeDM, which was compiled, improved and rereleased in 2001. His lone single player map Jägermörder 01: Chemical Lab, which was included in Doomworld's Top 100 Wads of All Time. The next few years included team work on multiple projects including SlaughterDM, Gothic99, SurgeDM2, The Darkening E2, Hell Revealed II, and Skull Tag. He collaborated on another map, Morbid DM 02: Flood Dead, this time with Nick "NiGHTMARE" Baker and then again went solo, releasing the Boom deathmatch map set Lamentations.

Derek's service to the community has also included making new textures and flats available to allow mappers to create their own custom projects. Conversions of various resources including Quake, Quake II, Alien vs. Predator 2, and Dark Forces can be found at his web site.

His current projects include completing Crucified Dreams and sequels to the Jägermörder single player series.
