If you only want to level design, it might be easier to pick a game you like, and mod that game.
Some games still release with modding tools, like Fallout 4.
For MP, CS:GO still has a very active and thriving mapping community.
Reason this is probably better for a beginner, rather than starting out with UE4 or Unity is that these games already come preloaded with loads of content you can play around and reverse engineer. As a beginner, it can be a little daunting to start out with an engine, since you pretty much need to do everything, even with all the marketplace stuff.
Understand how games are made, by reverse engineering them, then make your own.

Parrot annoying redditors for upvotes and circlejerk glory - The article, By Forbes magazine, with it's shiny new under age 70 demographic 

All that's going to happen is individuals develop a reputation and brand name in the community. So if Jack's animeboob mod isn't updated regularly, then I won't purchase another Jack product. This is how individuals become a) able to become full-time modders b) much more professional and skilled c) members of an entire community where everyone is earning dough d) personally accountable for their work and e) potentially pretty well compensated
 
Jack has a real incentive to not release crap, because his brand will be affected by that and thus his earning potential
 
...aaaaand that's what so painfully stupid about people on Mapcore of all places not getting it, and not seeing an opportunity. That shit is just facepalm.jpeg

I also put together a whole article. On Reddit most of the post I've made literally just get mindlessly downvoted if not outright censored like before. I don't give a fuck, I'm going to speak my mind on this issue period.

I'll be back at Eden Games this summer as game/level designer (intern)!

no, there's still some members here... Not sure what the point of the discussion is though. CryEngine is a very powerful engine for what it is and I've seen more than one indie doing fantastic things with it. It's not unity or unreal with tons of exchangeable parts, but it does what it promises.

Just realized I only have about 2.5 months left to finish it all before going back to work, so gotta give it a last big push to move back in real soon.
 
Finished the straw on the walls in the main bedroom

 
Then did most of the clay plaster on those walls (should be dry in a few days). Then I still have a thin finish layer to put on to hide small cracks that appear when it dries and to make it smoother when rubbing your hand on it (it's quite rough right now). A bit annoying that I got one of the big bags of clay delivered which had already been soaked somehow and so it was tricky to mix it up with water etc. and get the right consistency and so the plaster was too wet and cracks a lot while drying and some parts have slightly contracted or expanded so surfaces that were really straight aren't so much anymore. But oh well! Also added a door frame and door so when I'm done with that room (soon...) I can close it off and continue elsewhere.

 

 

 

 

 
Bricks + plaster in the wall of the living room to the stairs which finishes drying up

 

 
We also finished breaking the old plaster in the ceilings of the kitchen and living room so I was able to start polishing the beams before I close up the gaps between them.
 

 

 
My family came around to help a bit (although since I don't have enough tools or even cords and such, it's hard to be really productive with more than 2 people). My brother's been a real help so far, when I run out of steam he shows up and goes at breaking stuff like a madman, while I can focus on technical stuff. Here, I was showing my bro and sis how to do the wooden boards around the roof.

 
And my mother and grand mother have helped out in the garden, clearing out some of the trees and setting up a vegetable area. Here's a shot of the garden from the roof. Lots of work there still, I plan on destroying the square structure and renovate the rectangle one, but we'll see when I get around to it.

Aye. All of us, pretty much. Because Subnautica works really well with VR Valve has invited us up to see them as they're doing a little conference on their VR set
