Gender: male

How would you define yourself? (Coder, Mapper, Spriter):
In this case Spriter, I really doubt I have the energy to get into BYOND.

If Coder, what languages?
Language is just syntax and a few quirks, worked with C# and .NET stuff.

Any previous experience developing with SS13?
No.

Proof of any previous or current work:
Available for dev team in PMs or something.

How well do you know Git?
Professionally.

Your primary job is server development, not policing the server. You may be given Moderator-level of access but you should *not* be invoking any administrative actions unless there are no moderators or Admins online. Do you understand? (Yes/No)
Yes.

Anything else you'd like to add?
I'm a pretty proficient spriter, I have work experience as a graphics artist and can follow art direction alright. I don't really know what kind of workload you guys have for sprites, but I figured I could just toss this out there and see what I could do to help, really like playing on this server.

For transparency, please post some spriting onto a image hosting site and post them in your app.

Generally what we do for every application, other than what youll be asked to do as a test.

Hi there!

I'm in charge of the sprite team for CM. I'm definitely interested from the sound of your application.

Do you have any examples of your work we could see? Either posting it here or PMing it to me should be fine.

Thanks!

Can I ask why you want to apply for dev?

Well honestly, I really enjoy this server and figured I could give something back. I mean, it's all free entertainment at the end of the day. While I have some projects on my own, I think it would be good for me to be part of a group project as well, especially one that is already live. It'd be a lot of fun to make content that actually gets used.

Other than that, I've been a huge Alien fan since I was about 9 years old and has always been reflected in all my sci-fi art since like forever.

If you could choose, what are some sprites youd re-do and why? As well, whats something you'd really like to create thats unique?

Honestly, I've been thinking about this and it's kinda hard. It would be really cool to get a more alien-y feeling on board the spaceship, get some really nice atmosphere from the movies and stuff.
I would try really hard to nail the feeling, while not making it too dark and hard to read, find some really good contrasts!

For something that's unique I'd kinda like to try to add melee attack animation, like slashes and stuff to give more visual feedback to players using knives and stuff. When I panic bootknife a hunter or
runner I usually have to reread the combat log later to see if I even landed a hit. I'm thinking like the muzzleflash animation, but with some sort of slashy... thing.

Nice

Theres definetly a lot of pieces that need to be redone for more of an atmospheric feel.

Could you be a little more specific on how you'd make it more alieny on the ship?

Did a little WIP mockup yesterday just to get warm, lots and lots of wall panels and exposed pipes of course!

Big fan of this overall. I think the edges are a bit soft if that makes sense, it's particularly noticeable on the lockers. Other than that the style is great. From this alone I'll give my +1.

[apophis775]

Love it.
Accepted. It's maybe a little "soft' around some of the edges, but it's pretty amazing.

Send me a PM when you see this, and we'll get your access started.
