mapcore numbers?

[ginsengavenger]

So with a couple guys getting hired recently I'm wondering how the numbers break down to these days, and I know other people are curious too. So how about you?

Also feel free to speak up for guys who've gone on or don't post anymore.

i sort of enjoy mapping as a pastime, though i dont see it too foreseeable as a future for me, i don't enjoy it very much.

I've been hired but haven't started work yet (still finishing up at uni), what should I vote?

I just like doing the art stuff as a pass time. If I ever end up working in the game industry, its going to be for a programming gig, but thats not what I'm striving for. Might try to get hired in the game industry post-college to see whats up, but not depending on it.

Reno you're hired, option one~

Myself, I'm working at Factor 5 and while it's not all tea and biscuits I'm having a great time there. Speaking for a couple of friends, CompoSITe is working at Infinity Ward and ILLA is with a company in his home country of Croatia whose name escapes me at the moment..

I'm hoping to get hired

My 6th year and third employer in the industry.

Started at an independent for a seriously shite salary, just to get my foot in the door, then worked up from there.

My (unsolicited) advice to anyone wanting to get into games dev, is to simply take whatever you can get to start with. Just get in and start working on games. If you have a talent you'll soon get noticed.

I'm not working in the industry but I'm aiming/hoping to get a job with games

after I finish my studies

I keep changing my mind about getting hired, I realise if I want to be snapped up I have move with the times and work with new technology, so that puts me off as I like to stick with HL for now. At the moment I'm quite happy just doing a crappy job and using my spare time to work on stuff for fun.

I hang out with the chicks

But hopefully, some day.. I'll be atleast a cleaner at some game dev.

(yes I voted the chick option)

[Zacker]

Not hired yet, but I really hope that I will be one day:) Maybe applying for positions would help...

[Minos]

I will soon! (more like some day...)
