  • cat's map screenshots

    You seem to have a good sense of big picture atmosphere. Initially I thought they looked pretty bad from a gameplay standpoint for a typical infantry style FPS, but I see the mod is all about hand thrown items. I suppose a big open space might be pretty conducive to that type of gameplay.

  • Get a degree or not ?

    Another angle that I've not seen mentioned is that right now, getting a visa to work in the US is hard, and will probably continue to be so for the foreseeable future. A degree helps get you that visa.

    So if anyone is living outside the US, but thinks that they may want to eventually work for a game developer here, getting that degree will help make it easier to get you into the country. I'm not 100% certain on this, but I'm pretty sure it makes a difference.

    Also not mentioned: on average, college degrees equal higher pay. Obviously it's merit based in the game biz, but you're likely to start at a higher pay level with a college degree then without.
