NG|mods

This is the introduction post to a new series of posts, in which members of the team will introduce themselves and talk about what they do here. As it was my idea, I suppose I am the first one to do this:

So my real name is Marius, which is, apparently, not a very English name. Actually it is German (originally Latin) and, yes, I also am from Germany. I was born 1991 and right now I’m almost 18 years old, which is the age of everything here in Germany: driving, drinking, etc. I have spent the last eleven years attending school and due to the weird German school system I’ll do so for another two years, before I can enter university. And seven of those years I spent with learning English, four learning Latin, and one learning Spanish. My favorite subjects are Physics and English (still my English isn’t flawless, but I suppose it never will be). And when I eventually passed my final exams I intend to study aerospace engineering or mechanical engineering. In my spare time I read a lot of books, meet with friends, or – which  is pretty obvious – I mod for Star Trek games. Another part of my modding career is my position as site manager at Legacy Files. I joined the team there in March 2008 at took over IKS’s position a few months ago.

Two and a half years ago, in March 2007, yopyop and me founded nEw-GEN (which has been “rebranded” NG|mods recently), since then I am the maid-of-all-work here. I model, texture, map and script everything that needs to be done, so it may be that I’m kind of stressed some times. When I start little modding projects of my own it is likely that they never get finished or it takes ages until they are – probably because I can’t decide what to do first. Although I’m familiar with almost every aspect of Legacy modding, I prefer to do programming and scripting, I don’t know why, maybe because of the logic and math skills it requires. The most of the time I spend with modding I create content for Trek Battles or compile all the stuff other team members created.
