"you`ll be sick with envy...."

.... but i`ve managed to land an awesome job :D

as of 2 weeks ago (been VERY busy since then) i`m officially employed as an animator for Rebellion Games, hurrah!

currently working on a movie tie-in game for a handheld console and they`re letting me work from home for the first few months so i can stay in town and finish up my teaching contract.

so yeah, finally i can wake up and not dread the idea of going to work... and that`s really all i wanted, loving it so far :)

once it`s ready for release i`ll be allowed to spill the beans ;)

Nice one mate, sounds like a great job. Guess you've got to hope the game sells though, eh.

What kind of future prospects have you been offered?

Congrats Very_Metal =D we were wondering where you were. Well done mate, cant wait to see some of your work ^^

Well done, there. Always nice to hear when someone gets a job they love doing, doesn't happen all that often.

I think most of the jobs I'd love to do rely on me having won the lottery or provided some other financial backing first.

I'd be quite happy working in a games shop, serving customers, to be honest, but it wouldn't pay well enough for me to do it.

not being sacked yet :D
as i understand it, i`m on a 6 month trial, so we`ll see how that goes before anything else, but seems to be going well so far.

shall stop in and leave funky updates when i get time but work has become even more of a priority now as i`m sure you can all appreciate.

my personal site is www.secondarymotion.co.uk, there`s some of my work up there (right back to the really awful stuff :D ) so feel free to check that out until i can say what the game is :)

That's quite a job, very well done!

Why not just tell your good friends at Freeola about the game? No? No?

Seriously? Aren't they like the guys who made AVP?

I believe so.
a list of their games is on their site.

Envy? Me? Hah! I wouldn't want to be stuck working long hours (frequently overtime) for a game and then be slated at later date or you'll get so sick and tired of!


Yeah, if you want to do that kind of work then fine. Should be great.
