id software

recently I emailed id software stuff about my career choice...I told them i wanted to make video games as a profession but I am quite sure it might take a while before the write me back so I thought I would post something up here to see if any fellow DooMers could help me out...first off where is id HQ?...second is there any of us that make video games for a living here?? well thats all for now but I will post some stuff I might need to know later on in hopes that somebody might care...

My advice would be to look for local software companies as well, as ID probably get millions of
requests like that.

it would be cool to work there but like the last guy said try other places as well unless u are very good

I'm sure there are plenty of good video games companies near you. I did some work for DMA Design (the ppl who make GTA etc) for my work experience and it was really cool. What I say is don't give up and don't settle for some shit job.

thanks guys...and I know working at id would be a tough job to get but I also know that if I can't get in at id then I would try to get into any others and I should also consider looking for them around here...once again thanks guys...

I am certain you have to have some type of portfolio or map collection of GOOD maps for them to check out before they even consider you.

ID:HQ is located in misquite texas, you need to sute what they are looking for. Level disigner (making textures, disinging the lvel lay out, ext.) Programmer, Artist, musiction, or secrutary. Theres tons more other jobs. You will need a map pack (like the one guy said down there) a very good mod, experince, or some preety desint art work.
