My Online Name for quite some time is Hydromancerx (sometimes Hydromancer or Hydro oh and Hydrox2001 on the Sims 2 site)
I have been a huge Sim fan since dos Sim City and of the Sim games have played (and own) Sim City, Sim Life, Sim Farm, Sim Earth, Sim Ant, Sim Tower, Sim Isle, Sim Copter,Streets of Sim City, Sim City 2000, Sim Park, Sim Safari, Sim Town, Sim City 3000 (and Unlimited), The Sims (the expantions from House Party, Livi'n Large, Hot Date, Vacation), SimCity 4 and Sims 2. (preaty much all but Sim Tune, Sim Health, Sim Golf and SimMars (which never came to be).
I first started by editing the Sims with my "Maise Corn Plant" Which was a converted easel. Then made a crafting system for Dungeon Siege and more recently made a bunch of animals for Neverwinter Nights and Maztica stuff. As well as a fish skin for the Sims 2 and assorted houses.
I am currently getting my degree at AIO in Game Art and Design and hope to be part of the creation games like this someday. Will Wright has been my hero ever since my 2nd game SimLife. And ironiclly my love of zoology has acually lead me back into gaming through the creation of both real and fictional creatures.
Ths is exactly the type of game I have always dreamed of making. Course other people have too. I even had a pnp version i made one and the animals i made for NWN to some extent in Civilution (my non mythical non magical realistic world that failed).
Ok here are some of my works so you get an idea of me...
