Cool, got another interview started up with Undead Labs. Doing first phone screen with their founder this friday :) By the way, this guy I'll be chatting with was the guy who made the original campaign editor.
Talk to him much about this yet?

Time to close this thread off. Got job 2-3 months ago at Wargaming Seattle, life goes on :)

:lock:
Haven't they not made a good game since Dungeon Siege 2? And weren't they the team behind the most poorly thought out game (that actually went through launch) of all time, Demigod?



None.

So? Gotta get a job to pay the billz, and if these people are willing to hire you and pay a good wage, why does it matter if they're not an AAA developer? Also, a company that hasn't had a stellar record, likely has more opportunities for advancement, compared to Blizzard for example.

Getting a job in the industry, getting your foot in the door, is often the hardest part. Stay where you are for 2-3 years, if you don't like it, look for pastures greener.

I stand by an earlier comment in this thread, though, that games development definitely wouldn't be my sector of choice in the industry. You get to do some cutting-edge stuff, but working conditions and especially job security are often poor, and often underpaid for the actual technical skill required to get the job done. But again, if you've got a half-degree from Digipen, getting your foot in the door for any professional job ain't going to be a cakewalk.



None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

Do they have stocks for sale?

It's called being a dick. An informed dick.

Yeah I don't think he remembers specifics about the editor, and probably didn't ever follow the map-making scene (so he wouldn't know about the fan-made editors). Just me guessing though.



None.

it's rather inconvenient actually, as it requires you to transfer it to Custom Score which might even interfere with what you're measuring. But IIRC you can also use EUDs to display it which by now could actually be somewhat convenient.

UndeadStar shouted: https://staredit.net/topic/18961/ <= wow, if there wasn't a capital letter on almost every word in the title, and a link in the signature, I may not have guesses it's an AI bot. I don't know much about map editing, but the content may even be relevant enough to be kept.
Yeah, I've noticed it, but it raised a couple of relevant questions and kept the ad to the signature so if someone were to engage with the topic it could be a net positive which is why I kept it. We're not necessarily anti-bot, just anti-spam. Thanks to Symmetry who realized my hope. :)
