That sucks, but glad to know you were prepared. Like the boy scouts guys: Always be prepared. :P

EarthQuake · Aug 2009

Hey good luck man, and to the rest of the guys getting cut from raven today, it seems like a pretty massive hammer has fallen over there.

Jesse Moody · Aug 2009

Yeah there were quite a few of us. I don't want to mention any other names because I feel that is their business, but it was a good amount of very talented people.

Is it beer time yet?

MoP · Aug 2009

Ouch, that really sucks. Sorry to hear that

How many in total got cut?

If anyone is interested in relocating overseas to the UK, Splash Damage are currently looking for an Environment Artist, Senior Environment Artist, Technical Artist, UI Artist and an Animator - I'm sure the id Tech experience most people from Raven have will look good to us if you apply.

AstroZombie · Aug 2009

Sorry to hear it, Jesse. Best of luck.

Mark Dygert · Aug 2009

Yea Wisconsin... I would get out in the next month or so. I spent two winters just north of Minneapolis. I don't think I'd sign up for that kind of punishment again.

They can keep the tornadoes and snow drifts that hide cars.

Well, maybe global warming will make it a more hospitable place =P

Jesse Moody · Aug 2009

Thanks again guys. My family and I are pretty resilient and have overcome much worse things in the past.

JacqueChoi · Aug 2009

Well you're pretty nuts talented, and there's always work to be found for nuts talented people.

I'm not too worried about you good sir. You'll land on your feet in no time.

Jesse Moody · Aug 2009

This is why I love polycount. Thank you guys for the words here, over pm and im.

nrek · Aug 2009

Aww sorry to hear that Moody man, I was really hoping Raven wouldn't get hit so hard with all the awesome stuff you guys have been putting out

. Good luck on the rebound.

Darth Tomi · Aug 2009

Try Human Head cross town.

Slum · Aug 2009

Sorry man. There were a lot of people affected. All you recruiters out there, get your email fingers armed and ready - lots of good talent looking for work now.

cman2k · Aug 2009

Damn, sorry to hear this for everyone involved.

I've heard stories about how hard you guys had been working over there. Really lame that layoffs ended up happening.

Anyway, One door closing for another to open you know? Take it easy and best of luck.

Ryan Clark · Aug 2009

Sorry to hear about the layoff.

I'm sure you'll find a new gig soon, creating something suitably awesome!

(BTW, please remind any of your laid-off comrades to contact me if they need free CB licenses for portfolio-polishing.)

Generalvivi · Aug 2009
