Went for an interview at Krome Studios today. Got a phone call a few hours later telling me I start on Monday :) I'm with the engine coding department, so I'm assuming I'll be able to get down and dirty with the console platforms they develop for (XBox, PS2, Gamecube), so that shall be interesting to say the least :)
hey well done,
congratulations!
[:D]
Congratulations on reaching Krome-ite status!! [:)] [:)]
Thanks :)
...heh, I've said that so many times today :P
Well done, man!
Now just make sure you turn up on Monday with a shirt that says "Give Gazunta A Job" :)
Nah but seriously, that's excellent. Hey Souri, you should have a running tally on how many Sumea-ites have successfully made it to the other side...
shotgun a position on that list. [:D]

At the moment I'm in the media side...and the grass is looking greener in development every day.
Hmm... that may only work for certain genders... Not sure I'd want a job that way....
Grats on the job!! Now you can work on getting them to help sponser Sumea?!

So far it's been interesting... and at the moment I'm currently considering doing bad things to the maxsdk folder on my computer (damn thing I'm working on refuses to compile grumble grumble bleh)

Out of interest what kind of example code did you supply them - what do you guys consider "reasonable" in terms of what to submit to show your ability when applying for jobs or hiring programmers for positions (game industry or otherwise) depending of course on which side of the dice you reside
