jacksonj04

Nick joined Jul 27, 2002

I'm Nick, aka jacksonj04, and I'm one of the volunteer staff members here at Mod DB. I've been with the site since way back at the beginning, and did (at one point) actually mod. On a personal side, I was born in the UK and have lived there ever since, and I'm currently studying Computing and Cybernetics (That's robotics for those who don't know) at the University of Lincoln. Hobbies include Scouting, kayaking, and the ubiquitous video gaming. Here on Mod DB I am an all-around helpful guy, am one of the English language experts, and I'm also the one you should end up at if you're lost, confused, or otherwise in need of help that nobody else has been able to give you. I can't promise to put your life in order, but at least I can make sure your profiles all work properly. If you need help just drop me a PM - I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Quite often we get mods showing off every single model they've built to try and bolster some awareness amongst the players who love the eye-candy. Of course there is nothing wrong with this, but recently a few mods and games have started posting some more technical information in their news posts.

Since Mod DB has a healthy community of developers as well as players, it might be worth considering posting up something about any clever technical stuff you've done. Smarter AI, faster visual processing, new and improved workflows and so on all can help make other developers go "ooooh".
