Ah (despite probably knowing the answer) one thing I was wondering after the podcast you were on: you moved back to the US or stayed in EU?

I 've been with Ubisoft Berlin since august 2018 in a 50-50 QA / LD role.

Unfortunately the studio I was part of, Defiant Studios, pretty much exploded due to a nonsensical conflict with our publisher...

Good news is, 3-4 weeks later, our team got picked up by People Can Fly, and now represents the NA branch of the company!

But obviously during the hiatus, the future was uncertain... and people had to look elsewhere, including myself (cuz livin' in NY ain't cheap, ya know)

 

So I just moved to the West Coast last week, and just started yesterday at 343 Industries, working on the next Halo!!

Absolutely love the studio and team, and I can't wait to share more details when time comes 

 

Can someone edit my entry in the top post please? Thank you very much 

Cheers guys!!

Thanks!! I love the place, so many great trails for biking, and it's not as rainy as people say... or is it?

Kieran "Bastion" Hogben - Assistant Level Designer

I'm a bit of a lurker rather than a poster now days.

But I was promoted to Associate Level Designer recently!

(could my nickname on it also be changed to Kafe please )

So after 10 months I made it out of QA and had my first day today as jr ld. You could say things are looking up.

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.
