Greetings to all gamers, modders and those who are just getting started!

This thread is about getting known to each other and to establish a familiar feeling here on crymod.com. We are one big community and we think it always helps to get used to each other when you post a bit of information about yourself and how and/or why you started modding for the CryENGINE1/2.


So let me introduce myself to those who don't know me yet:

I am Alex Marschal and Crytek's Community Manager. I take care of the world wide FarCry and Crysis Community. My age is 24 and I am located at Frankfurt, Germany directly at Crytek's Headquarter.

As to my modding career I must admit that I am a very bad level designer and never got used to programming or art related things. I rather play the games and give basic help on Modding related questions.

Now who is next?

Hi, my name is Tom Anderson (no matrix jokes please, i get them enough) and I am a mod-aholic....

I am the frontman for RenEvo Software & Designs a.k.a. Renegade Evolutions. I am a 29 yr old Sr. Lead .Net Developer for a company out of Irvine, CA developing software for Point of Sale systems in the Restaurant industry. I have been modding games for about 7 years now, and playing them since I was about 8 yrs old.

Some mods that I have managed can be listed here:

I do a little bit of everything from minor texturing, 2d art, concept work, level design, prop modeling, c++ coding, as well as lua scripting, and soon to be a flash designer.

Hey folks,

my name is michael (my friends used to call me "michi"), I'm 25 years old and located in Hamburg, Germany. Since 1999 I have been a software engineer. I'm specialized in the development of web applications and business software like customer relationship management, business intelligence, supply chain management ect. Since 2006 I'm additionally the head of the quality management department for medical products. Please don't ask how I get around to do something like quality management - It's a long long story

My preferred programming languages are PHP, C#, Pragma, Delphi (not .NET), SQL, Ruby and in the future probably C/AL which is a integrated programming language in Microsoft's Navision. My favorite databases are MySQL and MS-SQL, but i worked with several ones like DB2, Interbase, Oracle or Postgre. I'm a fan of Windows und Linux and I hate i5/OS (operating system on IBM's iSeries aka AS400) ... hehe

In my spare time enjoy extensive partying (Reeperbahn ) , cooking, sleeping, painting, hearing music like metal, rock ect.

After almost 9 years of programming "simple" software, i thought it was time to meet something new. That's why i started to deal with the CryEngine2.

regards

michi

Hey Guys,

My modding career isn't so long, I worked on a few maps for Battlefield 2, which I've never finished. I came to Crysis because of this big wave wich came over the whole pc gamer community.

I didn't live so many yeahr, so I can't tell much, but I hope now you are a littel bit informed about me;)

hello there,

Id prefer to keep my name a private thing if its all the same, but you guys can call me Ram, i joined here after playing the demo because i fell in love with the sandbox and its possibilities. Im a grade a newbie at modding and mapmaking, but i really want to get started and hence a topic i created thanking the members and mods for the tutorials here at crymod.com, as it realy helps people like me come up.

I live in the UK and im 23 yrs old. Cant wait to get started on some maps, even if we are limited for now with functionality.

Thanks guys,

Ramstar

Well, since everybody's doing it, I suppose I'll do it too

So I am from a beautiful little country called Croatia (south of the good ol' Germany ), my name is Domagoj "John" Pandza, yeah my "original" name is kinda hard to pronounce so I am using my confirmation one instead within the boundaries of a little thing we call the Internet.

I am 16 years old actually and I am going to the first grade of the mathematical gymnasium in the city of Vinkovci. I am hanging out with computers for 6 years now (no, I ain't a 100% geek, I claim to have a life but that's an epic myth), I am currently studying DirectX (through C++ and sometimes managed DirectX through C#) and 3d mathematics, I believe I have 3 years (productive experience == 1 year hehe) of experience with 3D modeling tools now [Cinema 4D, Maya and 3ds max(primary)] and texture-only experience in Adobe Photoshop. The things I suck at are sports, the language that goes on the ugly L (the dead one) and German, however I believe after finishing the CAE in English I'll grab the books and study the all-mighty German XD. So, that's a quick intro about me and nice to be with ya! And yeah, I love games but suck at playing them. I tend to play on medium difficulty :baby:

Hi

I'm Clivey, a nickname I use in forums and online gaming. My real name is Mike and live in Kent, in the UK. I'm the oldest so far in this thread :tongue: and have been modding for many many years, but the Cryengine is the one engine I have actually stuck with for a long period of time.

I've been in the community since the launch of FarCry and been in crymod pretty much since the beginning. Been a moderator for about 2 yrs now, sometimes it easy, funny and sometimes its frustrating. One thing is different to other modding communities I've been in, this one is mature, professional, always willing to help each other out and just simply friendly.

I hate Jungle scenario's, way too many trees in the engine, so I always go on a Anti-Jungle campaign, to try to get people to look differently at what the engine can do.

Anyway, enough babbling

Clivey

Thats a good take on this engine btw - i mean seeing what the engine can do in terms of just PURE JUNGLE, youve opened my mind mr clivey!! And i second the whole mature thing, some website forums get on my last nerve. *cough* gamespot *cough*

Greetings,

My real name is David Berger, so I user ---___db___--- as username as often as possible whicht also fits perfect for the work I do here as often as I'm able to do, DB, Databases, downloads and of course the MOD Database which I have benn doing also before the crymod.com started, So I know nearly every team from the beginning.

I'm from the little county Austria, little but no small perople in mind, Maybe you know some famous people comming from Austria (Also Mr. Aligator Jack :easter: - which I'm fan of - best programmer I know for CE1)

How I found to Crysis? Some years ago a friend of mine told me when we where playing Ice hockey and I just had a bad crash with a girly if I know that nice game Farcry which have been released 4 month later, got the demo, was fastinated. So I bough the game, but cause I', such a bad gamer I looked at the editor, becaus nothing is better than making games And then ther was it: The love of my life CE1 *hehe* just kidding, but so I went on making some nice levels and mod pieces which noone ever had seen. So I had overtaken a modteam from Farcry and founded the Fantasyhaze Entertainment group to Produce Crybusters for Crysis. Yes we had starting problems, but now 1 year and 3 month later we will start to mod, and hopefully make a good mod which you will hopefully like to play

But enought, it's not that interessting, so field opened for other presentations :easter:

Hello,

I'm Joe, user ID HackerX4, but you can call me hacks, hacker, hack, x4, whatever. I'm 17 years old, and I animate for Crysis, living in Maryland, USA. I'm freelance outside of MWLL, when I have the time, and am willing to help anyone learn animation and the techniques. I'll help mod teams create animations, and probably make a FEW for you if you ask nicely...

I always wanted to mod Crysis, and now its so close that I can almost taste it, I really want to mod the crap out of this. I wanted to jump into FarCry, but didn't know this existed until it was too late... ;(

Have fun everyone! Get modding.

Hi I'm Patrick, username Wiebelwie, now 25 years old, soon to be 26 and I've been around here from the beginning of 2004 (User #74 ), Far Cry to me was a game to stick with from the beginning, the Sandbox and so on. I've never released anything playable yet, however, in the future you can expect some things from me...

I sticked to this community as it was a great community from the start...

I've only once released something for Far Cry, which was the menu skinning tutorial...
And since september 25th I've been Database support here on CryMOD.com...
