it will be so cool to pick up a raven box and read a name we know on the cover..

I hope the day comes soon for you KFS, it's a great feeling! Just hope the game doesn't turn out to be a steaming turd like Rogue Ops did

Cool, now there will be some competent mappers at Raven...


Yak, if you'd seen what I've seen, you'd know how much a crock that statement is.

Anyway, the trip was awesome. Raven was an amazing place. The people I met were all fantastic and the work I saw was absolutely stunning. I actually ended up interviewing for two titles simultaneously - Quake IV and their third game (X-Men Legends is the second). They couldn't even tell me anything more than the title of the third one. Tight security! I'll hear back for sure by the end of the week. Apparently the important guy to talk to about all this stuff is out of town (again) so they have to go through him first. We'll see what happens. I have a pretty good feeling about things, though, and if nothing else I saw some incredible things and learned an incredible amount of knowledge that I can apply to my work whether or not I get hired there.

That's fricken cool KFS!!!

If they're looking for an entry level programmer, I'll be available in a few months...

Actually one of the level designers there went to Full Sail, not sure if he's still there though. I think he got the job at GDC. He was chatting with some of the Raven people at one of the numerous parties and showed them his levels. Well, they were among the most highly played user made maps for JKII. After graduation they hired him.

i would buy hexen 3.. hexen 2 was only so/so, but hexen 1 was superb.

i would hope andrew, that if any inside info, or editors that are safe to release, you will indulge the pitcrew first?

don't jeopardize your job, but i for one, would like 1st knowledge and such..

As long as Raven doesn't pull a Jedi Knight 2 with the Quake franchise it should be good.

Congratulations KFS ....even though I'm fairly new here....well 4 months now... I have seen a great deal of your 'work' and Its nothing short of beautiful at times (Under the HL engine that always seems to be an amazing achievement to me). I hope you get a kick start in your career and get to do something you love for a living. ~slow standing clap....waits for audience to join in....~ [addsig]

Okay. Whatever you do, just remember: if you ever create a barrel or crate labelled "explosive" or "flammable", you will let down ten thousand fans if you don't actually make it explode. With a setup like that, it's GOT to be breakable. ALWAYS. [addsig]

/runs off to sulk in corner...

Seriously though, many congrats! Hope it all works out well for you. I'd say it was luck but it wasn't, you have more than enough skill to get the job on merit
