Hola
Long time since I posted here. These past couple of months have been challenging, to say the least. I'm sure you don't want to hear my sob stories, so I'll skip the details.
To sum it up, I've been busting my ass to get an entry level job in the game industry, while dealing with financial and personal crisis - making this a very blue Christmas season.
I have been interviewing with, and pestering, a company here in Houston (Cinematic Games) for the past month and a half; for an environment designer position. Well, they say persistance pays....and I have to say I agree. I called the company today, and they put me on the speaker phone with owner, who interviewed me for about 10 mins. The bulk of what we talked about, was my experience with Halflife level design, and how that knowledge can transfer to their level editor/game engine. Obviously, I answered the questions correctly, because I was (finally!) offered a position. Hoorah!
If it wasn't for the time I spent here, and the support of this community, keeping this craft alive, I might not have had the experience that led to this opportunity. Therefore.... I want to thank the Snarkpit, and it's members....and ask you to please wish me luck with this endeavor.
This is a rough industry to succeed in, and I'm definately starting at the very bottom rung of this ladder....but at least it's a start.
