In-game name: Hypnos Sano
SteamID: STEAM_0:0:68721039
Age: 19
For how long have you played the servers?: Around 2 years.
What country are you from?: United States
Time-zone: Pacific Standard Time.
Do you have a Mic: Yes.
Is this your first application for Mapper?: Yes.
Have you received any bans?: I have no bans on record.
How confident are you with Hammer?: I would rate myself a 6-7.
Do you have previous experience as a mapper for GMod?: Though I have not developed/ mapped for a community, I have spent a solid amount of time strengthening my skill set, understanding of hammer, and map making.
What source games have you mapped for and used the content of?: I have experience in mapping with GMod, HL2, and CSS content. I have only produced maps that were tested on GMod, as I play this game and it was the most immediately available game for me to test on. Within this experience, I have used content (models/materials) from all three games stated.
How many hours can you commit to mapping per week?: I can commit around 10 hours per week, though this can vary depending on school load/ work.
Why do you want to be a mapper? What can you help us with?: There are many reasons I am interested in becoming a Mapper. To start, Mapping has been a hobby and passion I have enjoyed for years. I first began mapping around 3 years ago, when I had watched a developer of a community I was a part of play test their map on stream. I am a very detail-oriented individual, and find joy in watching things being built from the ground up. The process of mapping takes a lot of trial and error, and being able to work through my own problems, and find ways to be successful has been something I have enjoyed. Becoming a mapper would allow me to be surrounded by others who have knowledge in the process. I would be able to develop a deeper understanding of something I have a true passion for. Throughout my time in this community, I have devoted a lot of my time to playing on the SCP server. I think being able to build things from the ground up and potentially see them added into the server I actively play would be very motivating. Another reason I want to become a mapper comes from my character, and who I am as a person. I am a kind, outgoing, reliable individual who is capable of working in team environments, and alone. With anything I do, I am always trying to find ways to better not only myself, but others around me. My goal whenever I work on something is to make an impact, which is exactly what I want to do within this community. I want members of the community to be able to express their ideas to me, and have them become a reality. Due to the nature of mapping, there is going to be a lot for me to learn. I am a fast learner, and feel this skill would allow me to take in information quickly, and apply it to my work in the future.
As for work that I can help with, I have taken the time to think about aspects of our current map on SCP-RP, and things that I would feel confident working on/ contributing to. I think one of the key things that I want to work on is expanding/ creating more unique chambers for many of our SCP on the server. I recently have been working on some projects that follow that theme, and have enjoyed my time doing so. It is no mystery that with a server of this scale, there are bound to be numerous suggestions, and issues found in the map. One thing I could assist with is taking the ideas of some individuals on the server and bringing them to life, to give some members of the community more of a voice and ability to show what additions have potential. As for issues in the server, there are some small things that I occasionally see or hear about that I think could be a quick fix, which is something I would be comfortable assisting with. Building new concepts from the ground up is something I love doing, and I think with me being a creative individual, I would be able to create new fresh ideas for certain areas of the server that could further drive the server to be more immersive and enjoyable.
Which server(s) on Civil Networks do you play on and which ones would you most prefer to map for?: I play on the US SCP-RP server, and would mostly prefer sticking to mapping on there.
Have you made & edited any map before? If so attach some images showcasing your map & edit: I have provided a link to an image portfolio for references of my own work. I will be adding to this portfolio as this application is up.
My Portfolio
List any ideas of new maps/map edits for CN that you would like to work on:
➤ SCP Containment Chambers (Lore Accurate, or more detailed/ unique)
➤ Personnel Wing (Rebuild from ground up to include more detail)
➤ GOC/ CI Base Reworks (Large task, but something I have thought on. One screenshot in my portfolio is an example I made of a potential CI base rework that I made for fun)
➤ D-Block Security Side (Though I like this, I think an overhaul would promote more GENSEC activity and aid in the RP Side of the server).
➤ Inanimate SCP area
➤ MC&D Spawn (Currently set in Lakehouse, but they could have an actually area dedicated to them).
