Agreed

I agree with pjw -- go make something. I applied for a job at EA, just kinda hoping I might get in on a long shot, but I realized my best maps were Quake maps, and that probably isn't going to fly for potential employers. So right now I'm down in the trenches, hurling brushes like they were grenades, trying to win the war.
Prod -- we all know you. The best advice for you mate is to just not think or worry about all this stuff before you've even put a map together. Go make some cool stuff, and the jobs will follow.
Prod, My Dear

As someone says "Making chairs or shoes" etc won't help you in the long term. So if you find yourself in that situation, the company is putting their interests ahead of your career then I would start looking for another job immediately.
Don't bother feeling loyalty towards them. Leave as soon as you can. They will do the same to you.
Personally - I wouldn't bother, making games can be extremely stressful and unrewarding especially if you are working on a shit or average game (which you probably will be given the odds). I would just stick to playing games if.... I could go back in time.

Super Villain Studios is looking for a level designer. They want some experiance with 3D Studio Max, plus some level design experiance... which basically translates to any of you Quake guys who have at least some experiance with Max and a handful of levels to show off, this would be a good opportunity to get in somewhere. It's full time, so you'd be moving out to California, where the sun is warm and the babes are hot, woo woo!

"as much as I don't like what's been said about our company and our industry, I recognize that at the heart of the matter is a core truth."
ie: it's 100% true and I can't find a way to contradict it.

Don't worry about getting into gamedev Prod. Just enjoy mapping and they will come to you.

Anyone create maps for Quake 3 for a fee? If so, how much?
Yes I Can
#129 posted by Blitz on 2005/07/27 18:26:16
1000$ a map.
Cash up front.
I have guns if you mess around.

I don't map for Quake 3, but the best mappers for it visit this board alot.
Rick
I could do the map for you, or any of the other people that are even better could do it as well. I think the pricing would vary on your expectations for map size/detail or effort in general. I think you need to post first with what price range is acceptable, and what you want/how/when you want it.
Or

paying someone money to make you a map is just stupid, unless you're intending to use it for some shady commercial gain yourself (which is illegal as fuck btw).

Not only do we offer maps at func. We can also arrange for "problems" to be "removed." Alternatively, have "an accident."
