  • Getting a job, need advice from people in the industry

    First of all, i do not expect to get clear cut answer or some magic tips to get a job. I know i have to work hard, have a great portfolio, etc. I'm more interested about getting a discussion with people who are in the industry or know the industry well enough. I have a couple of questions on my mind right now to start up the discussion.

    If i'm aiming at a level designer job, does my past job in management is a good thing? (i see a lot of similarity in those 2, that's why i'm asking)

    In a portfolio, is it okay to have maps that are only blocked out joined with a LDD to explain in details the creative process and how the final result should be?

    I'm 25 years old at the moment and i will graduate by the end of this year, am i considered 'old' in the gaming industry?

    I played poker online and live professionally for 7 years, would that be considered as a plus? (I guess it greatly depends on the type of person they are looking for and the person who is leading the interview).

    I guess that's enough for now, thank you in advance.

    (I'm sorry if my English is bad, this is not my first language)

  • Skype group

    Hello everyone, I'm new here (only on this forum, not as a level designer) and I'm looking for level designers to build a Skype group where we can all talk about level design, engines, etc. I think it would be a great way to make friends, show your work and exchange tips.

    My Skype is: spexel1

    see ya!
