I totally would've expected you to be at Bungie by now but I am ECSTATIC that you're working with the studio that made games in my opinion that were more fun than Halo
Best of luck to you man, glad to hear your first week has gone good
Wahlgren, not really, but the tv here is all english with swedish subs, so now and then i do find some words, but you guys pronounce it compleetly different again.
Its good fun at work though, most goes in english, but now and then it is swedish around me, makes no sense to me, so ill just drop in with another language and throw the ball back at them.
PixelMasher, technicaly it is my 2nd, did some work for nuclear dawn, but that was more freelance, so yeah first time at a studio, and then this big
jocose, haha yeah 343 better be carefull!
cman2k, thanks man, so far i feel quite at home, specialy with the amount of people helping me out to get things going and showing interest.
Rick.. HELL NO! NEVAH! I actualy got my *pipeline* with max working now, so take that!! You will regret you gave in! This side is so bright now, i can keep my workflow and add the bits i need vs relearning and wasting time at this point.
(*this is an all maya studio, i am now one of the only 3 people using max at this point, I could switch, but i am not familiar with maya and will lose lots of precious time. And during this crunch i now can contribute right away)

ceebee, yeah i quite hit the jackpot when it comes to studios in europe, woop!

tell me about it.. i have google translate open at all times
all i can say in swedish is "thanks" and "faggot"
friday nights are painful..
Won't let this thread die Congratulations Rens (Sthlm? Welcome to Russia!) and thanks for sharing the details Good luck sticking to your Max-guns, show those uncouth Maya-using Swedes where it's really really at...
rasmus, hell yeah!
Everything here is upside down compared to the rest of the world anyway. I tried to put my creditcard in the ATM, didnt work.. put another card in.. didnt work. I step aside, asdf! look at someone else have no problems.. what the hell.
So it seems, you had to put your card upside down into the ATM, great.
same goes for them using maya, upside down man.
And it really feels like russia to me, i do not understand a word thats written or spoken. Luckaly though, if you just frown at them, they instantly switch to english.
Brandon! yeah .. i .. job.. me.. finaly working somewhere, good joke :P
Eld, I do, but you guys use like 10 words that all sound the same, and copy past them together, MAKES NO SENSE!
Razorb, i left alot of people in the dark till i was sure i was actualy sitting here :P
so now its sunday, and im at work again, yeah, i figured i would feel most at home behind a computer, silly me.
Don't go expecting more of it just cause im on it though :P
Im just quickly punching some stuff out to help finish up the game.
Hahaha, bring your lunch money tomorrow rick, imma take all of it!
Dice is not paying me enough so i have to make money on the side.
Yeah bf does suck pfff, thats why i have halo figures on my desk!
So far my job is really to just build anything art wise and get it in there. Which is really cool, i get to try my hands on alot of stuff. Also when talking with the design guys we come up with pretty cool stuff and suggestions to piece it together.
There is alot of freedom and working together on things which i really enjoy.
It wont be too long before i get to make screenshots and add them to my portfolio:D
I will finaly be able to add a bunch of environment stuff.
There are quite some objects you can destroy and you have pieces flying everywhere in the middle of an explosion, should be cool to grab an action screenshot of that destruction and use that next to the model.
jacque, yeah im curious to see the end result myself. I see lots here and there but even so i only know a chunk of it. The engine is really pushing it though. It even makes boxes and diffuse maps looks sweet.
Congrats, it looks like its shaping up to be an amazing game you're working on. I hope it holds up as well as those E3 vids on console but the quality of acting, dialogue and sound do as much for me as the visuals.
I haven't been impressed by Battlefield since the 1st couple, but this will bring me back I think. Hope you have fun over there, new cultures can be great fun.
WELL, I'm a little late to this thread... but I had a good excuse, I was out of the country! And I already knew beforehand, so... :poly130:
Anyway, make sure to keep breathing in that sweet mountain air!! I know you'll excede all the expectations of everyone at DICE, and before you know it, a few years under your belt and you can make your way over to the U.S.! I mean, if they have another 3 frickin' Halo's in the making, you got time yet!!!

Definitely a well earned gig, and as others have said "finally".
I hope you have a awesome time at DICE, Battlefield 3 seems like a great game to work on.
