Congratulations!

How did the transition work? You applied internally to a job opening or sort of just floated to the new position because you showed interest and skill?

Yep, saw the job posting and applied. Well, I saw it and applied a month later because I hadn't finished the fc5 map and documentation. Kinda caught me with my pants down. Oh yeah, it also helped that I had prior history. I applied for the same job last year, around the same period, before working as QA.

I'm not working at Ubisoft Annecy anymore. Cool project but I need some fresh air.

I had enough of the production* of Steep which is different.

Well I announced yesterday that I wrote a book called "Starting your career in the video game industry" so I have to finish this and it's done, I'd like to get some tech design freelance missions and travel for a bit.

After my recent sojourn I'm back in a more familiar milieu as I'm joining some old friends and colleagues at Embark Studios for new procedural adventures!

Will update the job listings with relevant positions, I know we looking for more awesome devs to join the studio!

Yeah, I've scrolled up and made sure I updated it. I think it's all up to date.

Guys, please post here if your position is out of date, I'll make sure to edit the OT. Also created the category of Freelancers / Indie, since seems like so many of us are reverting to that I'm sure it'll grow up to be a bigger list with time.

[Radu 2,864]

Mine isn't updated. Also, maybe remove the studios where there is no longer anyone?
