"<< Professional Games Programmer"

Lucky me, I got a job doing something I love.

I now program games for a living, nice :D.

Crossbob doesn't breathe.

And considering that his mental capacity, at it's most advanced, was equivalent to that of a retarded 7 year old I'm surprised (and slighty dismayed) that he actually remembers to breathe.

Except Flock and Crossbob. Flock's way ahead of us, while Crossbob is 'un-aging'.

State of Emergency just need an aiming reticule and it would have been a lot better.

Please pass this on if you have the chance Bonus, it's a simple thing but it would have made a MASSIVE difference to the original.

I'm gonna look for your name in the credits of things and then give you a piece of my mind :-)

What's your job, as in, what do you actually do in terms of the finished game?

I thought the first one was okay.

A little under-realised and nowhere near as good as people were expecting, but not that bad once you got into it.

So, wee Bonus is a wee programmer in a wee games company. Nice one, mate. :)

You obviously can't say what you're working on... but I trust you, so don't disappoint me and code a &%!$ game.

Haha, all the best, bud!

The contract has been given to DC Studios Glasgow office.

So it will be delayed, by a couple of months, but still in development :D.

Any idea what's happened to State of Emergency 2?

Hey guys :).

It's like the good old days in here, see, we're so old now :D.

My job's with a new start-up company set up by the guys behind Vis. That got bought by BAM who messed up and forced it to close, so the guys behind State of Emergency have set up a new company, and as I've just graduated from CGT at Abertay, they gave me a job :).

Yeah, that would be it. Haven't won GAD (haven't tried to win GAD) for a veeeeery long time. Good to talk to a few people but that's mostly on MSN anyway.

Tisn't bad indeed.
