Just interested to know if there are any good ways to test my Unity C# programming skills and find out where I need to brush up on things?
The best programming test is always a project of your own.
Put your best foot forward. Release great game that has good artwork and game play.
Arowx.com 20 games and apps, any good?
I dunno. We hired a dozen ex-studio employees few months ago and have not looked back since.
Does anyone have comments about Arowx’s portfolio?
it’s getting to the point where it’s like asking someone to pick a apple from a bushel of apples that they like with all these mobile apps.
Most of Arox’s games look OK. Am I going to play them? No. Might someone that wants to hire him? Maybe, but in most cases they won’t even read a resume more than twice even if they are going to interview a candidate.
I do like the looks of the Decimoid character although I feel you shouldn’t have the ‘world’ sink away from the character so fast…the interested parties in playing this game just want a pleasant easy-going diversion, not so overly difficult, stress-inducing proof of worthiness. Hello? This is a video game and those callouses on your thumbs don’t make you a tough guy.
A one time Brainbench was an ‘inexpensive’ place to have your skills tested and I did get a job at $85K in a middling size US town based largely on my resume and my BrainBench results. I had results that placed my first in Indiana and Kentucky on the same tests but to be honest the questions were easy. If I didn’t know them right away my experience allowed my to find answers quick. Most of these tests are meant to weed out exaggerated resumes explaining my ‘stellar’ results which were stellar only in that I knew how to do the particular job I claimed I could do.
Many places will contract to testing services to see if you are qualified, so much so that the last job I was offered, it was in Manhattan, and only after taking and I presume doing well on the test. I was too embarrassed to tell them another company had given me the same test not 2 weeks earlier, but hey that’s Wall Street huh? I don’t think I have to tell you to watch the movie the Wolfs of Wall Street to tell you that big time doesn’t necessarily mean big time or big brains.
Hi goat, Decimoid was a Ludum Dare game made in 48 hours, and the theme was 10 seconds, haven’t gone back to it and done any additional work on it since then.
