A primary source suggested that I add a 'Technical Art' category to the list. The following employees have been added: [quote][b]Technical Art[/b][/quote]>[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=32189]Mocap/Rigging Tech Artist[/url] ([i]Rachel Swavely[/i]) >[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=32222]Technical Artist[/url] ([i]Forrest Söderlind[/i]) >[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=32051]Character Engineer[/url] ([i]Tom Sanocki[/i]) >[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=32055]Project Tools Designer[/url] ([i]Nate Hawbaker[/i])

Definitely saving this thread. OT: This thread may aid me in choosing a career.
-
Updated with Jennifer Ash.
-
Thread Saved. I like hearing about the employees backgrounds. I'm currently an English major and I love writing stories. Maybe one day I can write a kickass video game story.

Zomg, thanks! [Thread Saved]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Mythical Wolf Cool but are you aware of [url=http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=news&cid=32047][b]this?[/b][/url][/quote]That's helpful but I like how this topic has segmented each employee.
-
Geez....Have there really been that many of the interviews? Holy cow.
-
Thank you. This is an awesome list.
-
Woefully lacking on the business side of things. But hey, at least we have two different perspectives on how a sandbox engineer gets in!
-
Thanks for doing this. I would have read more of these had they been organized or labeled by position. I had not caught Ondraus Jenkins / OJ's. It is my favorite one!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Sven Nietzsche I'm glad I could help some of you guys. I for one have no interest in entering the 'Video Game Industry', but I found the articles I read interesting enough to create this.[/quote]It should also reduce the requests for repeat interviews.
-
Nice!

Hey! You're a pretty cool guy! Thanks for this; while I have real interest in getting into the game development field (barring some miracle, well-paying job in a writing department), its a nice to look through them all in a much more organized fashion. Cheers! °°°
-
Awesome!

And thread saved. Thank you, sir. [Edited on 11.13.2012 6:11 AM PST]

I wonder if Urk would remember me from when I visited the place if I were to get a job there. *begins to read the relevant interview article for my interests.

Holy -blam!-. Have we really had that many?
