Oh my god! Spelling and grammer was pointed out several times in this article but yet I cringe when I read it... please, at least check your bullet points from the recruiter. Whew, that's off my chest.

"Spelling and grammar was..."

Your grammar is incorrect because the word "was" applies to multiple subjects, so it should be replaced with the word "were." So next time you feel like correcting someone's grammar, (and yes, the author of the update did exhibit poor grammar skills), make sure that YOU check the bullet points from the recruiter. But what's the point in that anyway? It's just going to be read by some mindless gamers...

Thanks Bunge, I've been looking at a jarb waaaaaaaaaay over there ever since I got into Halo, though, I'm not a programmer or a guy with a huge degree, just a high school diploma...so.........yeah, However I'm a great artist, been drawing ever since I could hold a dam pencil (HB FTW) and acing sculpture, paint, various forms of printmaking and such, and just recently picked up Photoshop and am getting extremely good at 2D art, textures and unwrapping and painting 3D content. Now I'm starting to learn Maya, build levels, unwrapping level geometry, concepting, painting and applying textures to the levels. I'm also quite well grounded with your HEK and Blam! engines.

Anyway, I have a point to all this:

Point is - does a person like me who has The Skillz™ but only did high School need the big fancy shmancy degrees if they've got the love, passion, skills and drive for art and game design? I sure hope not :( People like that allways would flourish under the wing of such a large team of talented people.


Thanks :)

your pretty much in the same boat as I am, (l read my post on the second page), like you I have the skills in drawing and painting designs and defiantly have a passion for concept design (just need to get some experience in software such as painter IX studios, but I do work in Photoshop every now and then)

great interview!!! I've been searching for info like this (being a puget-sound local) but hadn't really found anything concerning what recruiters for ms/etc look for in an applicant, so thanks for posting this. Helps quite a bit - boosted my optimism again

This is exactly what I've been waiting to see. I've aspired to work at Bungie since Pathways Into Darkness, after graduation I'll be going to a JC then off to UCLA for 3D art. I feel that a UC school will give me the edge on the competition. Oh yeah, and the fact that I'm a perfectionist when it comes to art and what not won'y hurt either ;-]
