Depends, chances are his assignment was 'make a 3d model' like ours was, I bet he's already going to get the best grades in the class

Good god metro last light is now set for 2013. THIS IS TERRIBLE.

Instead of building my own this time I got these guys to do it, http://%7boption%7d. Me and my brother both bought from them and are both pleased. The prices were reasonable, the customer service was good and it allows you to choose pretty much exactly what you want.

Quote from Ginger Lord

We do internships here (theres a couple of guys in at the moment) but not sure about intern/junior design vacancies in the immediate future.

Do you know if these guys have education behind them or not? I'm also wondering how big a role they play, are they given similar tasks as other employee's of the same role?

Cheers, Red

That's quite inspiring, Sa74n

This made me chuckle

Option A could work, The masters I'm looking at can be part time over 2 years. That would hopefully give me enough time to study, work on my portfolio and give me the chance to work a part time job. Perhaps I'll even be able to find placement/ work experience?

Option B is one I'd like to avoid, yet I probably wont be able to, Right now I'm working 8 hours a day in a shit job, and like you, coming home after than I'm too tired and burnt out to even turn my pc on.

Option C, Carry on working shit jobs until I have enough saved up to support myself, THEN move onto education again.

E-Freak : I'm in the UK, and if I have to move half way across the world to work in something I enjoy, I'll do it. Staying in the UK would be nice to begin with however. Level design has always been my biggest interest and thats where I'll focus my efforts. Lately I've been trying to improve my asset creation and general quality of my work, to aid in future level design projects I set myself. I gather you're currently employed in the Industry E-freak, do you ever offer work placement/experience to people? I'd really like to spend some time at a studio, even for just a few weeks to see how things work, I'm just not sure how willing some of the companies here would be to offer me that. I've spoken about the course I was on before here so I wont clog this place up with repetitive info, The masters course 'Sounds' like it covers a lot more relevant area's in more depth, but then again I felt like I was lied to before. Heres a link to the course info :

Thanks for taking the time to help me out here.

Hey guys not sure how on topic this is, but I don't want to start a new thread. I quit a games design course a few months ago for several reasons, mainly because it was crap/ I wasn't learning anything. I'm at a point where I cant see myself feeling passionate about another possible career, So I'm thinking of going back and doing a masters course in games design. When I left I asked my tutor if it was possible to get in with a relevant portfolio and he said yes. I think this could be beneficial to me as I really need some education behind me to get a bit of a boost. I'm wondering what you guys think I should do, I'm not in a financial position to start a full 3-4 year University course, nor do I want to unless its something I know will be worth while where I will learn something and actually enjoy it.

If I manage to get onto this masters course and finish it, do you believe that would look better to employers? I know these 'games design' courses alone don't get you a job in the industry (unfortunately I don't think most people on them know this), I just can't see myself doing anything else so I feel this is the right thing to do considering my situation.

Any help would be much appreciated, cheers.

Red dead.. sigh... if only pc

Wow call of the fireflies looks awesome, thanks Korjax !

I cant wait for Dear Esther, its pretty much the only game I'm looking forward to playing this year.

Yeah its called Stalker.

Its so weird how similar the book and film are to the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, bearing in mind both we're released years prior. One thing I'm not sure I liked or not about the book, was that so much was left unexplained. Like the thing that can only be described as a sort of giant monstrous shadow that nearly kills them in the book when they're going through the zone on that weird vehicle. Nothing is explained of that 'thing' after that, the same goes for what I guessed to be 'Zombies', some explaining was done on the zombies but not enough to feed my curiosity. The part with the zombie was probably one of my favourite parts of the book, so creepy, I kept re-reading it.

Quote from Skacky

Yeah the Stalker movie is great. I like the first part more than the second one, but I thought it was a great insight about art and perception.

My favourite part is the meat grinder (I think its called that) where they send the reporter down that passage. It was actually pretty scary, the whole film was almost terrifying even though nothing happens. I think its a great example of how horror films and games can create more tension and overall scare factor, simply by having nothing.

I love the Stalker film. I'm a huge fan of the Stalker game series, and I did everything backwards. I played the games, then watched the film, then read the book. It was like reverse engineering everything, loved it.

Hot, really like the night version.
