Rob Davis is a game designer who cut his teeth on Ty, The Tasmanian Tiger 3 and Destroy All Humans! 2. He's currently at Pandemic Studios in Brisbane working on an undisclosed next-gen title. AustralianGamer has nabbed him for an interview, finding out how he got started in the industry, the positives and negatvies of working in games, and Rob provides some helpful advice for those looking to get their foot in the door...
(Rob) Get your hands dirty with something. We just hired a really great junior designer and one of the key selling points was that he had independently learnt the Unreal, Hammer, and Neverwinter editors. That may not seem like a huge deal but it is! It shows that you can learn toolsets, that you are passionate about games and that you could perform a similar role professionally.
As always, AustralianGamer have set up a thread where you can probe him further on his craft, so be sure to head on over there with some questions in hand! Full interview over at AustralianGamer!
