Venturing into a new future..

As some might know, a few months back I’ve been at Crytek’s offices in Frankfurt, Germany, for a on-site interview.

I really enjoyed those brief days. Frankfurt is a beautiful  city, I had the opportunity to get to know some people I only knew from MapCore forums and to see the next Crytek project.
Although, obviously I can’t talk much about it, needless to say I was speechless with what I saw!

Not only the project, but also the team and the offices are very nice. I’ve been offered the position of Level Artist, and I’ll start in July! Can’t wait to get started, wish me luck…

Although, like we say in Portugal, not everthing is roses. It’s not easy to leave your girlfriend, friends, family, old job, culture and life behind, but It’s the price to pay for one to pursue his dream, there are some oportunities in life, that we just cannot say “no” to! And I’m sure I won’t regret this, games and game art are my passion, and I’ve been doing it for more than 5 years now, and I intent to keep on doing it, and keep on growing professionaly!

I don’t want to finish this post without mentioning two other things, my beloved girlfriend who I have to thank for the comprehension, and of course Seed Studios, where I worked on  Under Siege, the project I’ve been working on for the last year and half. (Schedule to be released somewhere around September/October on Platstation3 Store, make sure you get it and support the small but constantly growing Portuguese games industry)
I have the utmost respect for those guys, I’ve learn’t a great deal on my time there and I hope everyone will be satisfied by the work I’ve made there! It was an honor, and I’m going to miss you all, keep on rocking guys!
