Making of the game by Gamespot
That must feel infuriating for those who've been laid off. Close a studio and just when the dust settles you buy a studio? Also thought EA wasn't that happy with Titanfall's performance.
If I had a studio I'm not sure if I'd wanted to be bought off, especially by EA, especially after the recent news. Of course things must be in talks for a while but still. Guess sometimes is the only way forward and with lots of experience you get less attached: you have the talent you can always create another studio.
Great progress, congrats.
also just saw this and the name of your map came back to mind

The Walking Dead is something very different now from what it was at the start. If you can accept that, it is consistent in style and delievers on what it promises; conflict between and within dueling factions in a post apocolyptic setting.
How is it consistent? They sparingly used in past seasons the horrible cutting they have been doing in these first few episodes.
I do want to see factions dueling, that's the heart and soul of post-apocalyptic settings, but they are shoving down our throats this firefight in a random outpost for three episodes, just to show Aaron's boyfriend being shot? 
There's gonna be another (another) trilogy (by the director of The Last Jedi)

No, like my friend likes to say, it's become a snoozefest
Goodbye de_inferno!
Well congrats, if this is only your first solid attempt at finishing a map, you're doing a great job. I like the colors you have going on. There are a few bits that look a bit off scale/out of place but that comes through iteration.
Looking good but those wooden steps in the 4th screen seem out of place with that kind of stone work.
So not Steam, but Green Man Gaming is having a sale right now

there is stuff like Thief at €6, but I'm linking the thing because it is supposed to give away a free game every 6 hours, to quote the newsletter
"10+ FREE games*! This weekend only, every 6 hours we will have a new free game and a sick deal for you on our V.I.P page! "
I’m terms of video I’m not sure about just posting gameplay, as it is so randomic and people play their style. Maybe a design analysis highlighting certain choices made during the process.
lol

on point title for the way season 8 is going 
Wanted to watch but haven’t played the game 
and they say spoiler alert
My favourite bit was the extra concentrated salty pools at the bottom of the sea.
Gonna miss the third, I’ll be in Italy. Not sure if I’ll be able to iplayer it when I’m back, girlfriend doesn’t pay for tv license. Don’t think the address gets blocked tho

Very true. But I wasn’t that happy with S3 either, I think S2 was great and now seems they’re the tying to “keep it fun” the way DC means it, so puns, references and other silly stuff, instead of a meaty story.
I’m really annoyed that they still don’t have their shit together after putting Jeff Jones at the steering wheel, the DCEU doesn’t seem any more cohesive.
With that said, I haven’t been happy/satisfied with pretty much anything I watched recently:
Arrow is dragging on just as much as the Flash and they get all excited because they name dropped Bruce Wayne in one sentence ?
Blade Runner 2049 had a really weak story
In The Heart Of The Sea has some cheap CG
Black Mass didn’t have rhythm
The Walking Dead I’ve always defended it but I’m finding these episodes really crap: the editing is really annoying with all these cuts that don’t add to any urgency and just break up the story (probably cos they are dragging things anyway). Are they gonna keep hiding Neegan till mid season finale?!
The only good thing is Stranger Things S2, only one episode left for me
So I finally did it.
I resigned a week after coming back from Canada and last Monday I moved in with my girlfriend.
It was risky to move without having the safety of a new job, but I decided to go for it to force myself to do better.
I hope I can soon find at least an easy job with set routine, 9-5 or the likes - eg admin, just so I have free time to spend developing game dev skills, which I wasn’t managing with my random shifts. In theory that was getting better, as I got promoted to Manager position and we were finally sorting the staff, but that could have changed in a snap and the whole long distance was just stressful. It’s been too long and need to see if we really work as a couple, can only do that by sharing a place.
Per aspera ad astra!
Hi, I see you got lots of views and no replies, there's surely better people than me that can answer... and I think there are similar topics/posts, or that can offer some insights around the forum (and that's why you didn't get replies). Look in the "how to break in the industry" and "level design resources" (or something along the lines).
Your map looks pretty good for a first map, at least visually. Of course over time you learn and focus more on the playability aspect of it as a designer.
It seems your education is taking care of your 3D proficiency, which will be useful because many companies work directly in their modeling package of choice to create maps, so I would just say that you need to keep doing what you are doing, just more and more, as much as you can! Level design is a trade that you refine over time. Read articles and watch talks, so that you get more critical when you play other people's levels and learn from it.
I'll link couple resources that have been linked many times on this forum and I've put in my Pocket app list and I'm slowly reading myself:

How do you feel guys that this is one of the games brought to example in this article "games look bad: hdr and tone mapping" https://ventspace.wordpress.com/2017/10/20/gam…d-tone-mapping/
Can't remember if I found the link on HP's twitter 
I like that video above where the character even looks at the tracks she's following... would make more sense if the animal wasn't in sight but still cool.
