  • Looking at that role I think I could definitely swing a lot of what I've learned. A big part of the course was researching trends and user data to help point design in the right direction. Thanks! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 10:19am)
  • We've been toying with the idea. It's something I wish I'd sold myself on sooner because things are starting to get too urgent for a personal project I feel. But I'm still looking at it. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 10:16am)
  • I've had a look. A few things look interesting. Cheers! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 10:51am)
  • I get that. I normally try to change up my CV for specific roles and do a bit of tailoring with it. The issue with networking in that sense is coming from a small town almost all of my friends work local or nearby so I don't have a lot of options like that in the city. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 10:50am)
  • I'll see about making some changes and try this out. Thanks for the advice. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 11:48am)
  • We've thought about it but we're not really eligible at this time and we're not looking to do anything that'll affect our credit rating too much. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 11:56am)
  • This is basically what I've been trying. Even got to the second stage of interviews with Rockstar but never got feedback on why I didn't get further. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 11:55am)
  • Will do! Thanks for the help. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 12:09pm)
  • I am yeah but I could probably stand to beef it up a bit. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 12:08pm)
  • Yeah, it's why I'm not 100% focused on finding a game dev role. It's more about trying to transfer the skills I've got from that degree to work with other roles. But yeah I've noticed that with indie teams. It's a case of either knowing the right people or starting from scratch yourself. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Mon 13th Sep 2021 12:51pm)
  • Never really considered this! Sounds like a good mix of options so I'll look into this. Thanks! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 12:49pm)
  • I actually walk by VR Simulators regularly but I've never been in so that could be a shout. I've been in Curlers once or twice but didn't know they did anything like that. Thanks for the links and suggestions, that's really handy! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 12:48pm)
  • I've heard of Geek Retreat but I've never actually been. As for those three I've managed to probably go once for each of them and they were all pretty good though it seemed like a bad day for NQ64. I'll check up with the GFT, see if I can't catch some different. Thats a good shout, I've only ever been to the Kelvingrove so it's probably time to tick off the others. Thanks for that, I'll look into these! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 12:45pm)
  • I knew a people that did Airsoft but they all spent a lot getting into it so I assumed it was expensive. Doing it with kit hire sounds like a good idea though by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 12:50pm)
  • I've checked that out now and there are a few interesting things I wouldn't have considered like book clubs. Thanks! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 1:48pm)
  • I've got more experience with D&D and Starfinder but I do like a good classic board game as well. I'll check out both of these and have a look! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 1:47pm)
  • It's not something I've really got any experience with but it could be worth looking into. by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 3:04pm)
  • Thanks for the heads up, I'll have a look! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 3:05pm)
  • I had a little look but it seems to be more MMA type stuff which isn't a bad thing but not as much of an interest to me. Might still look into it though, thanks! by Helpful_Explorer8507 (Fri 6th Jan 2023 3:04pm)
