Did I mention I was in correspondence with an American indie developer called Victory Garden Games ? I am. We have failed to meet on 2 occasions due to scheduling conflicts (and the fact we live, like, 7 time zones apart), but it seems there will be an interview now. Yes, as I'm typing this, I'm waiting for my contact to get back to his desk and conduct an interview. Fingers crossed!
While we wait, dear reader, let me catch you up on what is happening with me. I've finally mode back home (to the flat) after over a week of absence: it's an odd feeling to be "home", there's nothing specifically better here (it's dirtier, theoretically(*) more cramped and I have to pay for my own food) but it just feels nice to know it's your home.
Also, my old work finally decided to pay me some of the back wages, which is nice, but also means I'll have to come in tomorrow, since I apparently still work there. Not sure what I'm going to do if I actually get another job.
Finally, I need a flatmate (the rent/unitilties are killing me, doubly because I 'don't work') I'm thinking of putting up some unauthorized fliers at the Uni.
It's starting!
Oh, hey, forgot about you guys. It went pretty ok, I think. I really need to work on my standard responses ("name your 3 weaknesses", "where do you see yourself in 5 years", etc.) but other than that, I think it went as well as could be expected. I actually got a video game out of it- something the interviewer (who is actually a Z-list celebrity, I know from back on the Bay12 forums, and whose works I'm a mild fan of) did for the last Ludum Dare. It's pretty good (although some elements feel under tested, which is not uncommon for games designed, coded and tested in 48 hours). Also heard about some of the upcoming projects- they are infinitely better than what I'm doing now. I'm still worried I might be underqualified, but that has 0 to do with my interviewing skills and all to do with bad life decisions, oh well...
