Awww Tayconc, that brings me back, remember playtesting that. Madness

Good luck on finding a new gig~

Didn't knew you worked on Viking: Battle for Asgard. That game was awesome.

edit: My job position can be changed to Environment Artist. I do very little level design in my current job.

I know a few folks that worked there (myself included), glad you didn't get your contract renewed, there are much better places to work that's for sure.

Those guys really fuck you around when it comes to contracts. They didn't renew mine, then about a year after I moved to Canada they emailed me asking if I wanted a job, I politely told them to go eff themselves

Please tell me! If they would give me a Visa I'd gladly do it too!

Heh, whoa, I don't want to get myself in trouble. I joined for a short project because everything since Viking was getting cancelled. They did offer to extend my contract but I declined for a few reasons, though I won't go into them (and some where just like Portsmouth being horrible and wanting a break). I think most of the 'horror stories' come from the old London studio, no?

Juhu, today I made Senior (Technical Designer)!

congrats! still finishing Specops The Line?

Correct!

We're looking for LDs at Crytek Frankfurt right now, if you want to work on a big project maybe we can try to get you in? I mean, if your break from the industry is based on the fact that you can't find anything other than browser games job, that is

thx man I know that crytek is looking for LDs but its too far away. and I don´t wanna leave my family again what I did when I worked at bigpoint

Cool, well good luck with your future endeavors!

You can remove me from Rockstar and add me to Obsidian Entertainment.

That's great to know man, R* San Diego has some unpleasant horror stories. Whether or not that's your reason, good luck man, Obsidian seems like a great place to work for.

Good luck buddy!

Thanks guys.

Leaving wasn't my choice, and I actually enjoyed my time at R*SD despite how tough it was, but that's just how it goes. Obsidian is a very different company, so it's going to be interesting to see where it goes.
