Welcome to the Orxonox PPS FS12

Post by diggr » Sat Mar 24, 2012 9:20 am

Hello and welcome to the PPS 2011!

It is customary for the new students of the PPS to introduce themselves to the rest of the developer team.

So please write something about yourself (Name, Interests, ...) in a reply in this topic so we can get to know each other a little.

Cheers,
Beni

Hey there

My name is Fabian Müller and I'm obviously studying at the D-ITET.

If it should happen for once, that I'm not working at the Orxonox Project :D , u'll most probably find me either playing floorball or basketball near where i live in Schaffhausen or watching some e-sport on a livestream.

I used to play games for quite a long time (diffrent games, including Age of Empires, Warcraft 3, Counter Strike and League of Legends, to just name a few), but i stopped about 5 weeks ago for time-reasons. The orxonox PPS seemed to give a deeper impression how a game actually works, and so far i got to know really a lot of new things, for example about the framework.

My project is to create a big ship in blender (sth. like a fuel tanker), which includes modeling and also texturing the model.

If you have any further questions, dont hesitate to PM me and I'll respond as soon as i can.

Hello everyone, my name is Lukas Müller.

I'm an ITET Student / prog metal guitarist / sci-fi nerd / Minecraft-redstone-expert / generally strange person. :D

I will be writing and recording some spacey progressive metal tracks and sound effects for Orxonox this semester. I'll be putting up some demos on my SoundCloud page (http://soundcloud.com/zhuriel) shortly.

greets, Lukas "Zhuriel" Müller

Hey there!

My name is Kevin Lengauer and like all of us I'm also studying at the D-ITET.

When I'm not studying in Zurich, I'm mostly with friends, partying or just hanging out, doing sports or gaming :D I'm also really interested in Sci-Fi and game developement.

I'm currently working on some cool new pickups for orxonox, which will hopefully add some new&funny effects to the game.

greets

Kevin

Hey Dudes,

My name is Nino Weingart and i'm as you studying at the D-ITET.

I spend the most of my time for the ETH, as it should be... ;) Otherwise i do a lot of sports, mostly gymnastics or similar stuff or i hang around with some friends.

In this PPS i'll try to create a new Gametype. Finally it should be more or less like "Capture the Flag".

Hey folks,

My Name is Alessandro, I'm a student at the D-ITET.

Besides studying I like to play tennis, gaming or watch TV series.

I will be trying to model some space junk like a broke satellite etc. If anyone has a funny idea for a little gem/Easter egg or else PM me, I'll be glad to get some inspiration.

Hi

My name is Fabian Laumer and I'm studying at the D-ITET.
When I'm not busy with solving 'NuS-Serien', I like to do a lot of sport, especially Beachvolleyball.

My partner and I are working on a new level. The idea is, to create a race on the surface of a planet.

Jeez, yet another Fabian! Is there a secret plan to replace me? :twisted:

Anyway, welcome everybody, enjoy working & playing with Orxonox. There's a lot to learn from a big project like this, and also a lot to discover.

Random facts about Orxonox:
  • Press the key below [ESC] to open a console. Press tab to see all commands. The console actually supports the scripting language Tcl
  • Some spaceships have a weapon that shoots a steerable rocket
  • We once had a drone pickup - if you picked it up, a drone spawned and followed you. The drone was able to take that pickup itself, spawning another drone which followed the first drone, and so on. That was kinda messy :P I think that's fixed though
Start playing!
