[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 6624675, member: 326"] Hey Khisanth mate! :) It wasn't so much that I didn't get the job it was the lack of explanation why (after being told I had it). From the outset I knew it was a longshot since (even though I consider myself the best in the world at it*) it required 4 years hand-on experience with AAA videogame design. But at the interview they loved everything I had shown them, they were like 'we're going to make this happen' etc. So after that I was on a high and fully believed I had landed my dream job. Then the follow-up interview to confirm everything (meant to take place a day or two later) never occurred and I just got an email 6 days later saying thanks, but you didn't get it - no further explanation. *Which I understand sounds arrogant, but not only could I back it up, I DID back it up in the interview to the point where they were seemingly picking me (with no hands on experience) to be senior designer of a $10 million game. I know amigo. Its basically the joint first thing I will do when I get back into the swing of things. 1. Complete the maps for the re-release of the Vampire Bestiary - while working on them I will put together the Pathfinder version. 2.
