MandelSoft 29 January 25, 2013 Share January 25, 2013 (edited) Good day, everyone! I'm Maarten (MandelSoft), from the Netherlands. Let me introduce myself properly with the following questions "What are your interests?"I've been a (moderate) brony since the time inbetween season 1 and 2, but that's not my only "oddity"; I'm also a moderate Trekkie, a full-blown SimCity 4 fan (and modder!),road geek, fan of ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com and I like geofiction and music (especially rock and trance). Besides that, I'm also quite fond about things involving science and engineering and I'm currently studying Civil Engineering at the Delft University of Technology. "Hey, have I seen you around somewhere before, right?"Some of you may know me from SimTropolis or SC4devotion.com, where on both sites I'm quite prominently present. I'm also active on some dutch sites, namely Wegenforum.nl and Atlantisgeo.nl. You can also find me on YouTube (most stuff there is SimCity 4 related) and Soundcloud "So, what are your talents?"Well, I can compose some electronic music. I do this with FL Studio 10, but this is not pony-related. You can find some some of my tracks. I also do some modeling with 3D Studio for SimCity 4. Besides that, I'm also quite talented when it comes to vector image editing with InkScape. I've done various things with it for example: Map making: Directional signage replica's and design And with some editing with the GIMP: Textures for SimCity 4 (most notable: Euro Textures for the RHW 5.0)So, why not ponies? Well, two days ago, I gave it a try again and I'm quite happy with the result: No doubt I have some creativity (though I have to think of a good pony alter ego name...) Any other things to note? Yes. I have autism and in combination with dutch habits, I might be quite directly to the point in my comments and I may look more harsh than I meant to. I'll do my best to avoid this from happening. Anyway, that's all folks! I'm eagerly awaiting for your welcoming words Best, Maarten Edited January 25, 2013 by MandelSoft 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven Celestii 9,385 January 25, 2013 Share January 25, 2013 Maarten? THE Maarten? The one I've somewhat heard about from Monsieur Ganaram Inukshuk? Well, howdy do sir! I'm not into SimCity at all, as I've never played it, but I have seen quite a chunk things from it from all over due to Ganaram's love for it. Oh, I nearly forgot...Welcome to the forums! :3 Now, electronic music, that's something I can get behind. What kind do you make? And do you care to post a few? Also, thats a nice picture you've made. Wish I could art. Anywhoo, I'm sure you'll like it here! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandelSoft 29 January 25, 2013 Author Share January 25, 2013 Well, I took a break for about two years due to lack of inspiration, but the latest two tracks are from this year. I make tracks from time to time, just when I found some inspiration. I'm working about eight years music programs for years and I work over three years with InkScape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrobolt 2,069 January 25, 2013 Share January 25, 2013 So YOU'RE the famed Maarten that Ganny had mentioned a number of times before... Well, welcome to the forums! Normally I go by Electrobolt, but... Right now there's a little thing going on, one of those fads that get started in the General Chat Thread, the home of pure randomness on these forums Oh yeah, I tend to call Ganaram "Ganny" as a sort of nickname, soooooo yeah... Anyways, once I get home I'll be sure to check out your songs! And again, glad to meet ya! Electrobolt | Grand Journeys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellafera 3,836 January 26, 2013 Share January 26, 2013 That is cool stuff. Never realized when I downloaded the NAM that I'd be welcoming one of the developers. I waver in and out of interest in Simcity 4, but it's still a great video game.

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 26, 2013 Share January 26, 2013 Maarten, it's so great to see you here. I never thought you'd be able to make it here. I've seen you've met Bolty and Haven. I hope you enjoy the place. I spy a Newwork Addition Mod fan. Now you've gone and made me want to play it again >.> Please take the time to realise that MLP Forums now has two NAM Devs. 2 <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
