Finally got around to picking up our trophy for ‘best game’ from @DigiArt_UoCIA. Daughter is super happy and can’t wait to take into school. She now wants to make games when she’s older 😁. Future dev @GirlsMakeGames

@UberUKI_Support Ask me to DM them, so they can tell you that you aren’t the account holder lol. What on earth?

@UberEats just ordered a meal and got 2 drinks instead. Not to worry, I got a £3 refund. Not sure what that’s meant to cover as the burger is £9. Smh

@GrahamUnsworth I’m lucky, my man has them most weekends so I can mentally recharge lol

Played #Spiritfarer for the 1st time last night. Honestly it is the best game I have played in ages.

@Peter__Field @AsherEinhorn Yep, you are famous lol

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@Peter__Field @AsherEinhorn I have seen this, someone at the Uni has printed it and had it on the walls in class. It’s really helpful thanks, I try to implement as much of it as possible when working on my designs 👍🏻

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@AsherEinhorn @Peter__Field The brief was described as if designing a level that would fit into one of their released projects. In the past I have signed NDAs during placements, so I am aware of them, but none where mentioned during this process. Please don’t sue me, I’m only a poor student 🥲

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@AsherEinhorn @Peter__Field I’m unsure whether I can actually say? Is it allowed? I don’t know if there is an unspoken rule about naming who a level design test was made for, but I’m sure you can hazard a guess from my slides lol law suit averted 😉

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@AsherEinhorn @Peter__Field Unfortunately they didn’t specifically request a format. Their brief stated to ‘use whatever method best illustrates your design intent’ so I assumed (falsely by the looks of it lol) designing it in unreal wouldn’t be an issue.

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@Peter__Field @Johnee_B Fortunately I am thick skinned lol. I will take it as a lesson learned moving forward with applications

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@Johnee_B @Peter__Field I’m glad someone else mentioned this, I thought it was just me taking it the wrong way lol

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@MajidRahmani Thanks. Will do that in future 👍🏻

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@petervesti I just assumed that the large amount of applicants was normal for graduate positions lol. It was the first role I have applied for so I was just happy to get to the design stage to get some experience.

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@leveldesign_org @notimetoulose That was my second thought, after all they would need to play the level. The website that the company used did not allow me to upload the source files directly, so I added a link in both my slide presentation, and in the original submission to my itch account.

[Dev formely known as Dave @defoNotDavee]

@notimetoulose I did not. Due to the time limit and the brief stating to “use whatever method best suits your design intent” I completed the layout directly in the engine. For me personally this is a much quicker workflow than using maya, or sketch up etc. Perhaps I have done it wrong lol

Bit of late night drama in the street lol
