    What's it like having a job?

    • 11 months ago
      Anonymous

      Depends on if you went to college, which then splits up into if you went for an artistic degree or an engineering degree. If you didn't go to college, you're a wagie hoping to get by throughyour paychecks. If you got an artistic degree, you're a wage slave hoping you can pay off your debt. If you got an engineering degree or any other important degrees, you're just grinding away until you can retire at an age where you can't have any fun.

        Didn't go to college and got into game industry. In this field, nobody cares about college, its all about connections and maybe a good portfolio can get you in, if you're lucky.

            you can get connections through modding,

            if you're a noteworthy modder for a specific game, the developers usually take notice.

                There's risks involved with hiring people. How do I know you're a dependable person?

                This. This is what they don't tell you in high school or college. Getting the degree is only half the battle. The other half is spending time building relationships and impressing people already in he industry you want to enter.

                I learned all that the hard way. Took me a year before I landed something after graduating. And even then it was mostly luck.

                Agreed. I only got my foot in the door because a relative recommended me when the company was small. I was promoted over the years because I don't suck, but when I see the official hiring process today where a candidate gets judged by 9 people, I know there's no way I'd get hired. Making people like you on demand might as well be a hard skill given how important it is.

                >Pass multi-person committee face-to-face interview. If even one person on the committee doesn't like you for whatever reason, you're SOL.
                >Interview with your potential manager and teammates. Better hope you give off the right "cultural ft" for that manager/teammates or you're SOL.
                >Company tells you to frick off and say they'll contact you in a few weeks if they want you.
                >Ghosts you if they pass on you. Not even giving you a courtesy "Sorry, but you're not picked" e-mail. Forces you to call THEM up to see what's what, wasting potentially weeks of your time.

                All this I went through and is common for the tech industry. Even non-tech job interview procedures isn't too far off from this.

                That's the opposite of what he said though? Creating a mod and getting recognition for it is directly rewarding those you can produce vs those who can't.

    Isn’t putting treasure behind EVERY waterfall going to get predictable very quickly? It should be just one waterfall or a select few, so it’s more special.

          only the most kino secrets are reserved for hiding places behind other secrets. hiding something behind every waterfall in the game is fine, but constant secrets behind secrets would get annoying.

    So what would Avowed even play like? Since it sure isn't going to play anything like an elder scrolls game.
    Ideally for me it would try to convert as many aspects and gameplay features from the pillars games as possible.
    Realistically, it will play as a slightly more refined version of the outer worlds.

      is right. Take what you can get bro. Also, you should've been applying since the start of this year, and that's being generous, many Spring 23 grads started applying last summer.

      Take what you can get, you're not getting WFH straight out of college. You don't want to be these dudes with 400 apps and no offer. I suggest trying the defense companies. Raytheon Lockheed Boeing etc if you're a US citizen and not a criminal.
