As this year comes to a close I thought I at least should have the decency to recap the year.

The first half of it I spent on my education as a Game Designer which lead up to my degree in June. After that I searched around the world for a position in the industry, by July I finally got the chance to go on an interview in Scotland for Realtime Worlds as a QA tester.

It was a great experience but unfortunately I didn’t get the position.

The latter part of the year I’ve been spending on other things not having anything to do with Game design. Spent the last three months in Umeå developing my skills in selling products over the telephone. Interesting job, but nothing that I would like to keep doing.

But now I at least got a little more money than I had going into the fall of 2009. Hopefully I will get a new spark and maybe try to search for a couple of more positions in the gaming industry but at the same time I really want to go out and travel.

We’ll see what the future holds after new year. Mind you, this blog won’t be updated as regularly as it has been in the past, but hopefully I can jump in and share some of my experiences as a graduating game designer in the 2010 as well.

Until then, merry Christmas and a happy new year!
