I felt the same. It took me a little while to find the fun, but ended up really enjoying it.

Six months since I finished it and I'm getting the itch to visit those worlds again

I'm meant to be writing this afternoon, but my download of Expedition 33 just finished... everything I've heard about it sounds so good

Right there with you. Oblivion was THE game that made me get a 360 back in the day. Probably the only game I've ever hit 100% on twice

I can second Level Up and the Book of Lenses. They're great. I really should track down the architecture one

Koster's Theory of Fun is a great read as well

I'm a career changer. Went from marketing (8 yrs) to game design.

My strategy was to get familiar with Unreal & make a mini portfolio, leverage that to do a 1yr game design course focused on portfolio building, then leverage that to break into the industry. Worked for me but mileage may vary

Great thread. Thanks Mike!

I'm going to be all over this when it comes out

Congratulations! Awesome milestone

Yes! Love to see it. You just know neither of the have watched anything beyond the reveal trailer.

What sucks is that I recognise this is true, recognise it's harmful to nuanced conversation, recognise that it's bad for society... And yet I find myself falling for it anyway.

Seconded. I listened to PWL all throughout my design degree and it was so helpful to get a view from inside the industry alongside my studies

What are the dates for this one? The poster says October but is it that far out?
