Dear Beatnik Games,
I was wondering if you were considering expanding your team. I’m a London based Maths Graduate from the University of Reading who has done a MSc Computer Science degree at the University College London looking to break in to the games development industry. I understand you have a secret project in development with channel 4 and I was wondering if I could come on board, I’m not asking to be paid, only a chance to gain some experience after I submit my dissertation.
You are the first games company I am contacting and this is mainly due to the Red Dwarf references in the Plain Sight Achievements, you seem like you could be my kind of people.
My games development experience is limited to playing around with the Hammer World Editor making the beginnings of Left 4 Dead Maps and I also tried to learn some Torque Script out of a book (unfortunately the Torque Engine licence was only a trial one and I hit a sudden dead end)
At UCL I learned Java during my degree and my Dissertation has been written in C++ with elements of Open Scene Graph (My project is an Augmented Reality interface for swarms of UAV’s)
I hope you have a corner of your office available such that I can sit there and learn things from you whilst making tea or whatever you would have me do.
I’m more than happy to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement if necessary for your secret project (or any other reason for that matter).
Send me an Email, a pm (or reply here) If you would like to arrange something more formal however I am writing this on a break from my dissertation which is due in on the 8th of September so forgive me if my response isn’t immediate.
Live long and prosper.
Simon B.
