I'm an Operations Manager in a warehouse type facility for a huge company that you have definitely heard of. I won't mention the name though, as it's not terribly important. I work my butt off every day using all sorts of fun machines, and I have a lovable crew of employees that do pretty much what ever I say. It's a great gig and I'm lucky to have it! It pays the bills so I can have fun making video games in the evenings. The only downside is that my job requires me to wake up early - between 3:30AM and 4:30AM - so I don't stay up very late. I've been doing this for a few years now though, so I'm used to it.

Also worth noting - I started at the bottom and worked my way up with lots of hard work, perseverance, and initiative. I was a seasonal retail lackey at a video game store ten years ago making minimum wage, and now I run a gigantic warehouse. You can do it too!

For the past 6 years, basically the only job I've had, has been working at a grocery store - first as a bagger, and then stocking shelves. My last day there is tomorrow.

The next job I'll be doing is embossing images for products, something that's 50/50 of what I went to school for, since they need someone with experience in Illustrator (I got that) and a CAD program (I don't got that). Full time, awesome pay (for an entry-level job), and benefits; I'd say I'm off to a good start. The really cool thing though is I'll be flying out to England at the end of this month and living there till the end of July training on the job. Interesting times ahead.
That sounds amazing! :D and ENGLAND! Wow, you deserve this! 

@KingDanner: Probably not. I did most of the original art for Liberated Pixel Cup if you've ever heard of that.
I'm checking this out, like RIGHT NOW! ... ... ... ... That game... looks gorgeous!

It's not a game, well, it's not just one game. Thank you though!

I was wondering what it is exactly, I've been just looking through the website and the graphics. :D

Thanks! I'm still kinda surprised about the whole thing though. I must be dreaming still.

Currently exchange student in Japan, but I'll be going home this August to (hopefully) finish my bachelor studies Japanology. I still have no idea what to do after that though.

I work as a freelance Game Developer mainly, but I do a part time job as a trainer / instructor for Game Programming in a school. Busy much, but fun.

Seems to be the most probable course, though I'm planning to study for a master degree first before job hunting :)

so hopefully tomorrow i get to go home from the hospital i've been here for 5 days already and it's driving me mad. I miss my family like crazy but at least I get to use my own toiletries and my own clothes. My mom is coming to visit soon i can't wait to see her cause i miss her the most. :kaojoy:
Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
