Hello So I'm am attending college this year to learn coding not and game design in the hopes to become a game developer. Part of my course is to interview a handful of people working in different aspects of game design. Would any of you be up for a 15 minute Skype chat to talk about your experience in the field. Just to give you an idea of what questions would be asked il list off some topics we might discuss -your background -The challenges of working in this field -the things that lead you to work in game dev -recommendations for people getting in to game dev Thanks

Hey So I'm new to the forum and I'm just pairing to say I love the new show. I'm mostly into CS so this weekend episode was very exiting for me. One thing I noticed is that you guys mentioned that the resent losses was giving people the impression that there might be a shuffle in the French scene but that the most resent performance at games on crushed those rumours. There was actually a shuffle about a month ago between the 2 main French teams, Titan and envyus. Envy picked up KennyS Who up until a recent awp need was considered the best awper in the world and Apex a highly regarded rifler. Titan picked up shox who in 2014 was considered the best player in the world and smithzz who is alright. Indeed the performance of envy at the games on event was a pretty big surprise considering it was their first event post shuffle and envy seemed to have adapted to the change quicker then Titan. Oh and the event in Cologne is the ESL cologne and is one of the 2 valve funded majors by ESL that happen each year. This event is looking to be insane fnatic is finally showing signs of being mortal, cloud9 is performing at the level of tier 1 teams a place that's historically been reserved for European teams, kinguin is having huge success as the first international team and mouse sports coming out of nowhere as a potential tier 1 team a thing they have never really been and finally NIP after seemingly falling from grass have taken the last month of to practise leading many to wonder if the night make the comeback that so many people want. Oh also virus. Pro will either be top 3 or bomb out of the bracket stage. Compared to previous events there seems to be far more dynamics then "NIP will play against fnatic in the finals and fnatic will win". I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't played CS before should consider watching this event.
