   game demos and stuff
  Does anyone have any links to (3D) game demos that they have used to succesfully get a job in a computer game company? Or are most people here independent developers?I am working as a software developer at the moment but would really like to get into the computer game industry even though they say you have to work twice as many hours! I have been making a game engine with stuff like collision detection, skeletal animation, 3DS model loading and all that and want to get some idea of how big a game I should make with it before sending it out to people. My plan for the game is a third person adventure game featuring a horse as the main character (because it is fun to animate horses!).    
  I think Evil Steve got a job with a 2D Bomberman clone.I got an offer to teach game development courses from one of my 2D games (I don't recall exactly which one the interviewer seized upon).It doesn't have to be super-hyper sophisticated.   ;  That's good news. I was under the impression that there was lots of competition for gaming jobs. I think I need a good demo though to make up for lack of a computing degree.Did you take that job in teaching game development? Sounds quite fun to me.   ;  I wanted to, but I received a better offer elsewhere. They were going to run several courses that I had my pick of (HL2 modding, Java MMORPG, VB RPG, VB action game).
