Isn't level design just a subgenre of game design to begin with? At least that's how I always viewed it, often you find yourself designing game systems next to your level design duties. But I suppose that depends from studio to studio.

It does seem quite studio dependant. I've got friends at other studios where game designer and level designer are the same thing and then look at somewhere like Codemasters and Level Designers and Games Designers are quite separate. On top of that you have Quest/Mission designers too though.

I'd still be happy to class them all as Game Design though personally.

Can someone tell me what is the point of filling out a survey that still doesn't acknowledge level design as a job role? I think I will email them and ask a similar question.

I did notice that, it's a shame they didn't add it as a role but I just put Game Designer. Apparently they only recently added Technical Artist too.

Can someone send this around the company? I don't wanna be the one instigating this xD

lol I don't really see the harm in sending it around, it's anonymous anyway. I've sent it around to my team rather than studio wide and just asked them to forward it on

Another Gamasutra salary survey has launched. I'm always very interested to see the results of these.

The survey takes approximately 7 minutes to complete, and will run until Friday, February 22nd. The results will be published in the April 2013

Vin Diesel just posted this on facebook (yes I follow Vin Diesel)

Fast and Furious films are awesome, they get stupider every time. 'What didn't we put in the last one?' 'errr...a tank?' 'YES!'

Girls, fast cars, Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and hilarious carnage = win.

Ah cheers It wasn't appearing in my normal apps list so I wasn't sure I could turn it off.

Sadly I don't think any are dtf.

I'm pretty sure hardly anyone knows this exists and even if they do it's going to be full of dudes.

I'm also not sure how to turn the app off so I think I'm always going to be dtf.

Haha. As far as I can tell it doesn't post any notifications anywhere that you're using it, thankfully.

Over $137 million development cost for GTA5. I have no doubt they'll make a huge profit on it though, it's the only franchise that I will without a doubt buy every single release. GTA4 was also the reason I bought a PS3.

On the mobile games I worked mostly remotely, but when I was in the "office" with my friends, I found out they had a "porn break" after lunch XD with the latest downloaded or some surfing on X-art.

That's some weird shit right there. Can't think of many more awkward situations than watching porn at work my colleagues.

Loving the depository.

Quote from Minos

That's the one. Wouldn't advise putting her in Google images at work though. Made that mistake the other day

did you get fired?

Nope It's definitely not safe for work though lol.

Quote from Beck

Yes but he is very upset to be leaving me!

I don't think he'll be able to live without you tbh. He could take you in his suitcase.

Quote from csyver

That's the one. Wouldn't advise putting her in Google images at work though. Made that mistake the other day

mmmmm

Sold. Apparently a playboy model but I forgot her name.

Really looking forward to this as I'm a huge fan of the cyberpunk genre, the trailer is awesome too. Can't wait to see some game play footage.

Signed up to this yesterday. It's a great idea and I'm interested to see how it turns out. I'd rather have a Fallout MMO though.

I few days ago I went to see Resident Evil: Retribution at the IMAX. I didn't really have any high expectations at all and judging by the direction the last few films went I knew that the plot would be pretty ridiculous and make no real sense. I wasn't quite prepared for just how little sense it would make though.

As films go its a pretty bad film, however if you want to watch some zombie ass kicking by women in really tight leather suits, it's all good. Just don't expect the plot to make any sense whatsoever.

I bought Guild Wars 2 last week, got it yesterday and it's looking really cool so far. I'm surprised I found it around £10 cheaper on Amazon than buying it digital though.
