    Decided to completely rip apart the old level and rebuild it. Gave it a more sci-fi feel. Currently packaging for sake of testing. Still whitebox only.

  • Is it possible to get work VISA without experience in game industry?

    • Sigma
    • July 26, 2016 at 5:46 PM

    @kunalht: There are multiple types of VISA's available in the USA. The most common one that employers use is the H1-B Visa (controlled by USCIS). In the USA, in order for an employer to qualify for permitting an H1-B VISA, they must be able to prove that no known candidates that are residents/citizens of the USA qualify to fill the position. Additionally, you should be aware that an H1-B VISA does place increased burdens on the employer. Third, the candidate (you) must have completed a Bachelor's degree in the field of study for which you want to be a professional (computer science is good) at a college/university. In truth, it will be dependent on the company that you apply to as to whether they will offer the VISA or not. The major issue that you will likely run into is the competition of computer science graduates, games graduates, and other existing residents/citizens applying to these same positions in the USA. However, that is not to say it is impossible.

    Another thing to consider is the impact that current politics will have in the near future for immigration to the USA. Although many VISA programs are expected to continue, despite the election, because of the economic benefit - there is a very real possibility that the USA's Congress will not extend some VISA programs, and/or drawback in others. Furthermore, Homeland Security and Immigrate and Customs Enforcement will be a challenge. This is particularly true for countries such as India, wherein there are many cases that identification of a person and conducting their background check is difficult due to missing records or non-existent records. An example of this is a person with the last name of "Patel". Establishing who their family actually is (by blood/marriage) can be difficult.

    I hope this helps answer your question about the USA - but check with each individual employer that you are applying to and also contact the American Consulate in your country of origin (India) to inquire further. They will be able to answer any in-depth questions you may have.

    As an aside, there are many outsource companies currently in India. If all else fails, you may consider starting there to increase your resume and professional entries - thereby making you a more qualified candidate when applying.

    I do not know Canadian law on this matter, so I cannot answer questions pertaining to their immigration and VISA sponsorships. However, I assume they are somewhat similar as their games development industry has boomed in the Quebec region over the past 5 years.

    Quote from Vorontsov

    On 7/19/2016 at 10:14 AM, Vorontsov said: @KoKo5oVaR If you have space at home I would really recommend investing in equipment that would allow you to do Benchpress, Squat & Deadlift at minimum, since these are the three that matter the most. Along with that get a couple of dumbbells and some bodyweight equipment if that's what you call it (like a pull-up bar or for dips) and you should be set for life :).

    With this you can pretty much do any exercise imaginable, I don't know how costly it can get though, that's all up to your intuition.

    This so much. These three lifts are essentially the key to all other lifts as they are all compound movements and build core strength.

    I think this game is indicative of the natural state of social behavior for humans (we require social interaction with one another in a more physical capacity) - the reason I say that is because, anecdotally, I know I get more satisfaction from a game when I can enjoy it with someone else in the same room/area. It's why I miss the older consoles that required same-room play for multiplayer. This could just be the nostalgia in me coming out though.

    It's a good way to ensure your dog gets a nice full walk. I play it just while walking the dog (but I don't go for the crazy chase down a pokemon that you are tracking thing).

    The Wraith Form is indeed what I meant. I didn't know it can't be cancelled though.

    The reaper might have been doing the phase-move that makes it invulnerable and then the player cancels the phaseout as soon as the hook is done and begins firing on the roadhog. That's my guess.

    Got this 3 days ago. If I hadn't had meetings and house things to do, I would not have stopped except to sleep. Also, I loathe roadhouse players. I hate that hook with a fiery passion.

    If you do get the wisdom teeth out - and you need a painkiller - tea bags. Stuff one or two in your mouth, and they have a chemical that helps alleviate pain in them (as well as something soft to bite on).
