I was in a real time rendering class where we made a game from scratch. In teams of 4.
One of my team mates was a drunken guy who never showed up at class and was quickly dropped from the class. So that left 3 of us. My two partners didn't understand the importance of programming within a framework and added their stuff whereever they wanted in my engine. It was a good engine, I wrote all the core, but they just decided to push everything into a single node or leave it out of the engine and just call a function elsewhere so it screwed up ordering, etc.
Really annoying, could've been a good game too....
Hot. Now once I'm out of high school and college and I need a job as a 3d animator, I can ring you up and work at Valve. I won't even have to move! Remember me, [WHO]Them, for someday I shall owe you big time <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

THE TIME OF REPENTANCE IS UPON US, Valve has shown us the way! and the way is good! all worship valve for their infinite wisdom in hiring random high school students and generally being the most awesome thing ever!

Offtopic: I have this silly "career project" I have to do for an english class, rather then use my boring career, I chose Game Development. Could I possibly get an interview (e-mail/IRC/Whatver, I'm on the other side of the country) out of you and your team?

I can see why VALVe liked it; its fun! I like how you have unlimited lives. I got to Ledge Ladder before getting tired of being crushed by rocks. And is that little green guy supposed to do anything?
need a modeler on the team? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Nice! I'm hoping to get a placement in Valve during the third year of my University course. However, it now seems almost uber impossible (I've always thought it would be.) But its worth applying for. The other option of course is Free Radical Design.
