Kraken
Lead Developer
Name (Steam Name):
Simons
Date of joining Revival:
When SN merged with Revival, however I was not here ever since then. I have been busy in real life and have come back.
Tell us about yourself:
I have a pretty interesting story so sit back and relax. It began when I first found Sanctuary Networks and at the time it was a small community with its one director and owner 4g. At the time I was just starting to get into GMod roleplay so it was a first time for me. I got to play on the server for about 2 years and eventually becoming a staff member and then worked my way up the ladder all the way to Supervisor on the board of directors. I am also a Eagle Scout in real life for the BSA, I enjoyed my scouting career because it helped me build character and trust among my peers. I always looked to improve my daily life whether it be at my job as an intern for NOAA or helping out my family. I am a nice guy once you get to know me, besides having fun I am very serious about the positions I take.
Do you have a microphone? (Please state clarity of this said microphone):
Yes and it works quite well.
What role are you taking? (Programmer, Server Configurator, Mapper etc.):
I would be more comfortable helping out as a Server Configurator because I am more used to setting up servers and fixing/editing things. I am sure there are many people like me but I believe my skills I have built up over the years with different environments will be a very great asset.
Why do you want to become a developer for Revival? (One Paragraph Min.):
Well, I suppose I can start off by saying that I have always had a spot for developing since I first started GMod, I was your typical C++ beginner at the time and once I found out the game I grew to love involved coding down to its very core, made me absolutely ecstatic. To this day I find ways to improve in my coding and increase my speed as I practice more often. As I became more acquitted with G Mod and Lua. I want to become a developer here because I loved SN when I found it and the experiences I got as management and helping with development just made me more thrilled to use it here. Just remembering how things were run always brought back nostalgia.
What will you bring to the development team?:
I hope to bring an easier work load and hopefully improve the servers that I assist. I always am looking for ways to help out. The main reason I chose developer was because I am kind of tired of being "Staff" so to speak. I have held many management positions as well as plain staff positions. I think its time for a change of pace and using the skills I already have to benefit that!
Can you show/link us your work?(Required):
I have 2 things to show. I worked with an AlienRP server before and made some custom jobs. I also made a loading screen for a community a while back as well as made their logo.
=====================================
This AlienRP job involved functions that made it possible for the person to start out using a pill-pack entity, so in this case a facehugger and then when the time period was up you ended with the selected PM. It also allowed custom MP3 imported sounds to be played for the alien when it bursts out or evolved.
