    Default Some news you might be interested in

    Copying and pasting from TWC:

    Well as i revealed in the Next TW game thread, after beign for 2 interviews and a follow up meeting i have a job at CA as an inhouse Games Tester starting on June 18th.

    I will be working at the Creative Assembly office at Southwater, and it's a full time job. I'm hoping to move into Games Design eventually as one of my interviews was for that but my lack of experience i believe stopped me from getting the job.

    This does mean that i know a bit more than most people about how the dev process works as i've had it explained to me, and once i start i'll know all about the next TW game(which i'll likely be working on most) but will be bound by a confidentality agreement.

    I'll also try to post as much on the forums as i can, and try to get involved in community related stuff, as my work on the forums and modding is the reason i've got the job.

    I was going to leave posting this until i started work, but now i have posted about it in the other thread i thought i might as well make a general thread about it as well.

    Congratulations, Lusted.

    This is great news for most Orgahs, who I suspect - like me - really like the work you've done modding and rebalancing TW.

    Well done Lusted!

    Hope you have a great time there, and keep up the good work.

    I think the whole TW modding community is now united as one... in JEALOUSY !

    Seriously though, that's just great news.

    I'm not too jealous. Testing games is hard and boring work, but at least I hope you'll improve the testing quality

    Not if he's a real modder he doesn't. A real modder tweaks, tests, then tweaks some more, and never ever finds the time to actually play because he's just found out about a nifty little line of code or a weird variable hidden somewhere in some obscure file that, if fiddled with, could change the face of the game.

    And we all know he's a great modder, don't we ?

    This is great Lusted. You've already deserved that position. I hope you do your best.

    By the way, will you continue to modding?

    Indeed, i haven't finished a campaign in ages, which is a bit of a pain.

    What's teh pay?
    Pretty good.

    By the way, will you continue to modding?
    I hope to, though on a much reduced scale of course as i'll have a full time job.
