Name: Mark Jones Aka: Marksman or GingerNinja

Age:17


Location: The UK


Area of expertise: Mapper. I kinda moddel... but I am working on how to use XSI right now... so purhaps only for simple stuff....

Examples of your work: I'll get back to you on this one.....

Previous experience: No formal experience in any field really. Mapping has been for CS and for fun so far. I have never released a map. Simply because I never bothered to fully polish any of them before something happend such as a hard disk whipe...

What other talents do you have?: I love to inovate when I map. I find it fairly dull just to make a normal map with nothing special to set it apart. For example I had a CS map where you could crawl above the ceiling on the ceiling tiles on an office map. The best bit was that you could shoot out those tiles.....
Was fun!

A bit of info about yourself: My hobbies are gaming (duh..) and martial arts.

Why do you want to be involved in Source World?: I want to have a hand in creating something I believe could be really special. This is the kind of project that could really work and be really worth it...


Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World: Because I believe I can bring some intereseting and fun scenarious to the parts of the world I map..



I have more... later..

[DeltaBlast]

Name: DeltaBlast

Age: 17

Location: Netherlands

Area of expertise: Modelling is the thing I like to do the most. And can do the best. ^_^

Examples of your work:
First model I could find... I made it for Total Annihilation so that's why it's made out of squares and is that low poly:
http://www.darkbulb.com/stuff/renderz/gunship.jpg
http://www.darkbulb.com/stuff/renderz/gunship2.jpg

Here are all the units I ever released for Total Annihilation. They include sophisticated scripts, models, photshopped images and such... but you probably won't be able to see them without TA or the proper tools
Note that these are only the units I released... I've done many more but I was too lazy to script them :
http://games.kirkwarez.com/3p/ta/units/deltablast/

Random 3D models for an animated fight... this is just an edited piece as showcase, but it actually had an entire arena and stuff...:
http://www.deviantart.com/view/7343615/

This piece won me a mp3 player...
http://www.firemarble.com/DBFastMix.mp3

I can even do photoshop editing! ^_^
http://www.freakingnews.com/view.asp?image=1205

Gawd my stuff is spread all over the internet... Anyway, I don't have any maps to show for... whatever I did isn't really playable for others

Previous experience: I've made maps and units for Total Annihilation, did mapping on HL1, XMP, RA1/2, Generals etc..

What other talents do you have?: I'm a man of many talents... All of the above, plus I draw, I create websites, I have many badminton trophees (who cares ), I know multiple languages and many more stuff that you don't care about.

A bit of info about yourself: Yeah well I'm DeltaBlast.. I map, I model, I game. ^_^

Why do you want to be involved in Source World?: The idea is awesome. It's like URU (myst 4: online) without the linking books... ^_^ No but seriously, it's a great project, I've been looking for something like this for years, with URU it finally came, but URU got canceled
I've always dreamed of making an ever expanding 3D environment do just chat in, where you don't actually have to do something, but could if you wanted to.

Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World: In the thread that started it, a lot of ideas came from me... I thought up the concept of interserver/map traveling (although the mods claim otherwise) and well, I would make a good asset. Or so I hope

WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?

 

[Kangy]

Name: Ben Kangy Gascoyne


Age:17


Location:England


Area of expertise: eg: dialogue scripts, website content, creativity, design documents, character and location descriptions.


Examples of your work: soon. Trying to see if I can still get to my work on the dead sites. (Fenric, I'll PM you with them, if I can;t edit by the time I get them.


Previous experience: TotalHL2, writer and editor, 2003, Sim City 4 Gamespy hosted site, 2002.


What other talents do you have?: I've got this near trick where I balance 3 spoons on my fingers and juggle passion fruit at the same time. Okay, maybe not.


A bit of info about yourself: Wotcha! I'd just like to tell you all that I'm 17, I enjoy gaming, writing fiction short stories and playing interactive fiction. I hope to go into journalism.


Why do you want to be involved in Source World?:I've always had a thing for original concepts.


Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World:Well, I've yet to see anyone offering any form of written work for you, and I feel I'd enjoy working with the people already hired.

 

[Yuri]

Name: Garrett; for some reason I keep calling myself TheAgentSmith :dork:

Age: 17

Location: New York, sir

Area of expertise: mapper, concept design (I'll try, depends on what you mean by that)

Examples of your work: Go http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v298/theagentsmith/ for pictures of my completed maps. (It is a photobucket account, just click on the names for screenshots of that map, and keep in mind that The Matrix was very old) More are on their way, including dod_canal, a Day of Defeat map and (hopefully), a single player mini-series Half Life add on, and a HLDM map

Previous experience: Uhh.. I can say that I have played many games, and I have "mapped" for Starcraft quite a bit. I have about 3 years of Hammer experience, and my knowledge of the first Half Life engine is pretty solid, at least in the mapping ways of things

What other talents do you have?: None. Wish I could draw a bit better, and play the piano...

A bit of info about yourself: I like games. And my girlfriend, the bestest ever. And trying to draw and play the piano. And I think I want to become a game developer when I get all big and stuff.

Why do you want to be involved in Source World?: At first, I didn't really want to be involved, but I swear Fenric, that "scrap" picture you made just drew me in... heh, kidding. Actually, I read on it more and I like the idea and hope to make some maps for you. But that won't be for a while, now will it?

Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World: Uhh, I'm not so sure how I'm supposed to answer this. Heh... because I think I'm at least mediocre at mapping, and I will certainly enjoy doing it, and I really really would like to map some of the ideas I've read in there... and I'll be devoted, I promise! I really do want to be a part of this mod, it seems great.

Name: -=jt=- (if any mod would like to change my username that would be nice)

Age: 20

Location: uk, north yorkshire

Area of expertise: programming and ideas

Examples of your work: unfortunatly, nothing ive worked on has been finished due to lack of interest or lack of non-lazy artists. I recently coded a streetfighter style beat-em-up but i have graphics for menus, about 4 charecter sprites and some stickmen i made for testing. the code is finished though and its a good framework

Previous experience: ive coded many simple games but they all got lost when i left them in my university workspace over summer


What other talents do you have?: I rock at most games, and by that i mean i can get a new game and on my second try beat about 3/4 of the online players. and if someone gives me a premise i can usually work it to make it happen and make it fun.


A bit of info about yourself: have a small buisiness fixing other peoples computers, 2 out of 3 years through a degree in cybernetics, and puzzles?


Why do you want to be involved in Source World?: because i need something to do over summer, and it would look good on CV for when i get a real job.


Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World: because you only seem to have one programmer at the moment, and although ive not tried to code anything in hammer, i learn quick and even if i dont i can
write pusedo code to help the poor guy (qckbeam).

[Cyanide]

Name: John

Age: 20

Location: PA, USA

Area of expertise: Concept art

Examples of your work:
One of your team members (63sixthree63) told me to apply even though I don't have 5 examples to post yet, so here are the examples I do have. I'll post more as I draw them. I just recently got a digital drawing pad, so I haven't had a lot of time to create some decent digital work (no, I don't have a scanner).

This is just some random thing that came to me a few days ago. It's not really practical as a weapon, but I suppose with Source's physics and a few adjustments you could turn it into a ball launcher for batting cages or something in Source World.

http://www.clanbbw.com/publicimg/data/images/CO2Launcher.jpg

This is an adaptation of another artists concept. I tried to keep the cartoon style of the original and I couldn't find any good fire references that matched the style, so I just improvized it.

http://www.clanbbw.com/publicimg/data/images/FlameThrower.jpg


Previous experience:
Never done any concept art for a mod before, but I've been drawning since I was about 5.

What other talents do you have?:
I would consider myself something of a Flash expert. I know the application and the scripting language very well. I can do basic 3D (very basic), AI, and physics with it. I can also integrate it with PHP and XML databases. I can do web graphics, well, any type of graphics really. I have a varied background in coding, and I plan to pickup at least a little bit of HL2's language when I get the SDK. I consider myself a fairly decent designer, though I'm sure you've not only got enough of those, but you've heard it from most everybody who wants to be part of a mod. Everyone wants to be a designer. I'm also in the process of learning XSI.

A bit of info about yourself:
I'm and IT major at PennState (I have no school spirit, so if you have something against PSU, don't expect me to defend them ). I draw and play PC games most days. No job this summer so I've got a lot of free time that I need to fill with something. Oh, and I also hang out with my friends once in a while. But who needs friends when you have a Wacom Intuos2 with 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. :naughty:

Why do you want to be involved in Source World?:
It sounds like a good idea with lots of variety and flexibility for the design team to play with. Which, in my opinion, is always a good thing for a game. Plus I think it will actually get finished and I don't want to bother with a team that will give up in the middle of the project. I'd also like to play it and this is the best way I can see for me to help futher its developement.

Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World:
I was told by one of your members that I should apply, so here I am. I also have no life at this time (as stated above) so I spend a good portion of my days doing nothing but drawing. It might as well be used for a worthy cause. I've also been told I'm a pretty decent artist, so I think Source World could benefit from that.

Previous experience: I have won 2 first place awards (and 1 second) for my pictures. Have been taking photography classes for 5 years. Have been in to photography for 8 years.

What other talents do you have?: Some Mapping in Hammer. Not enough to say I'd like to work on it for SW, but the second the new Hammer comes out with HL2, I'm gonna be all over it. Working with Photoshop for 1 year, currently taking a digital photography class that deals with PS.


A bit of info about yourself: I'm mostly into Photography, I'm in college right now looking to become a Massage Thearapist. I work at Hollywood Video part time. I have played through and beaten Half-Life over 35 times (not on easy). I've been writing the story for my own mod to possibly work on when HL2 is out.

Why do you want to be involved in Source World?: After reading over your intentions for it, I just wanted to do everything I could to help and be a part of it. I think it is one of the greatest mod ideas ever.


Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World: I want to lend my photography and photoshop skills to the development of SW. And I would also like to help with the design/layout of SW. I would hope to be able to get any and all pictures needed for mappers and modelers to make everything look as best it can. A simple picture can really help a mapper keep on track with setting a particular mood for any area.

Examples of your work:
Ok, Here's two stories from my "Dark Future" RPG I am planning on making:
My "Dark Future" RPG Idea
(It's at the bottom, and, I think, counts as two as they are different)
My poem
(This is my poem, which i think is quite... Dark, to be honest.)
My Box Concept Art - TT2
(This is a concept art of a box from a game I like Called Triplane-Turmoil 2 - Not actually out yet, so it's concept art )
And My Unknown Creature thing
(This is actually a piece of concept art from the Source-world Forums, so it's been seen before, but is my favourite piece of work and I'm doing it up now)

Why do you want to be involved in Source World?:
Because it just sounds so cool, and I would like to be a part of a Mod, or make something other people will enjoy playing.


Tell us why you think you should be involved in Source World: Because I think I could add a lot to the place, like perhaps some ancient scriptures, or poems that the Dwarves handed down to their companions, or I could think of a new storyline that would bring the whole of Sourceowrld together to find the answer to what's going on. And I could design animals (Hell no! -Dark Elf ) or maybe places in the sourceworld area, or perhaps research different timezones, and concept some pieces that could be included. I would be a Valuable asset
