Heyyo,
Yo taco, where aboots do you live eh? Cause depending where you are, your odds of making it in the big leauges can jump up. Vancouver BC, Canada is a great place to be right now. There's Electronic Art's main northern complex there, and a few other small ones (one is something line "Radex" or something starting with an R...).
Also, a great calling card would help. Look at some of the big bots made on the HL engine. PODbot? CountFloyd now works on other projects. The Jumbot? ThE FaTaL got hired by CryTeck Sudios (makers of Far Cry, so he's probably the brains behind the great SinglePlayer AI =D )
This project is a nice calling card, but you need a big mod to make it really big. Some mods for the HL engine were little 3rd party ones that have gone big (Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat). One of my guesses for a 3rd Party mod hitting it big is the upcoming Jurrasic Park Mod for Far Cry. OMG dude, if you havn't heard of it? check it out. They're always looking for more people to help out. It's already got some great game models, like the T-Rex, the Veloca-Raptor Holding Pens, and some of the guns. Look into it yourself man, you might like it. ;) http://www.jpmod.com
I hope for it they hace cooperative mode think aboot how crazy tha'd be eh? running for your life from a T-Rex, looking back as your buds get devoured as they scream their lugs out on TeamSpeak... I'd buy it if it were a official game mod (but only if it had coop, and great MP like it is already planned). = )
Also, I don't wanna devulge too much info until it's official, but there's a new game company that's going to get started either this year or next year.. it's probably going to be in LA. all I'll tell you is its currently planned name: "First Kill Interactive." ;)
