Your portfolio isn't "really that bad". But the standard to get hired isn't "not bad". It's "really, really good". And I know that's rough. I was there too not that many years ago. But the simple fact is that there are dozens of aspiring professional 3D artists for every entry level job out there. And that's not due to…
Thanks I appreciate that. Yeah as I said I just got caught up rushing and trying to get stuff into it. I'm def gonna take a step back, reevaluate and go for quality over quantity from now on. And yeah I def need to work on my texturing.
I am down for the Yard House in Marina Del rey. http://www.yelp.com/biz/yard-house-marina-del-rey#query:The%20yardhouse The only real complaint is that it gets packed and the service can be slow, according to Yelp. How big is our group going to be? - D. Carmine
Asking other people is a good idea but make sure you ask several people from different companies. Some studios have the bad habit of underpaying people no matter how great they are. Other studios pay their devs a lot more than devs usually get paid.
Sorry for beeing curt, I was reading this thread and it reminded me of those recent wall posts with generic questions, kinda why we had this recent thread about how it does not always bring you further just asking (nor this community).

I originally learned how to code using Flash (but I was working in web dev, not game dev). Actionscript isn't too bad a language to learn from. It's like a clean Javascript (well Actionscript 3 at least). I always liked Flash since it was cross-platform/browser compatible.
If I were in that position, I would probably finish out the contract at Sony and plan on trying to move back to Sweden after it's done. At that point, working for the small dev would get you where you want to be location-wise, and make it easier to move into one of the larger devs in the area.
Michael: Thanks! Yepp, I was planning on keeping a devlog going. Gonna try to at least get weekly updates up, I'm a solo dev with wife and two kids as well as just having moved into a new house so dev time is fairly limited atm.
