Are there actually any game devs. that have work exp?

[Daniel Primed]

Is there Ratbag don't accept them?

[AndyMan]

Ratbag doesn't take people for work experience.

I don't know of any game companies here that do. There would probably be a long line of people interested (going by 600 applications to Ratbag two years ago).

When there's only one games company in the state, there would be a very long line outside the door. However, you have to understand, most of the people who applied were severe wannabes; very few of them would've had the skill to know what was going on, nor the initiative to create their own game.

It's a pity. I think you'll find in the next year, new games companies will be popping up in Adelaide.

Cheers,
Paul.

and now there is midway/ratbag. hopefully it will bring more work

Its always funny necroposting.

My other half had a few interviews with Ratbag, and in all the hullaballoo of the takeover he could never get hold of the HR person. Weeks of mutually leaving messages on answering machines ensued, and then we found out they were shut down.

And then we bowed to the thousands of cries of "why don't you go write your own game" so we have been, and its slowly coming along.

hehe, sounds good.

ALways good to do your own work when you can i rekon, rather than working on some crappy title you dont really care about.

[Weesals]

would contributing to a group adelindie project count as work experience? its not actualy going to an office or anything, but it shows you have all the skills to work in a team environment n all

Thats always better than nothing , I know companies appreciate at a minimum some mod work, as long as you clearly explain what is yours etc.
