Re: Level Designer
Dear Erik Langdon,
I am writing with regards to your ad wanting a level designer, posted on
gamasutra.com, and am interested in filling this position and contributing
to your already stellar record of game creation. Level creation has been in
my blood ever since Starcraft came out for the PC way back in the 90's. I
excel at many of the required skills to be a Level Designer, and am more
than willing to learn the skills I lack from a more senior member of the
team. I consistently strive to create games so fun, and addictive, that
the players will want come back time and time again to gain their "fix".
Experience is my middle name when it comes to level design tools,
such as Starcraft World Editor, Company of Heroes World Builder, Unreal
Tournament Level Creator, Unreal Developer Kit, Command and Conquer: Red
Alert World Builder, and many others. Examples can be provided upon
request. I strive to cover every minute detail possible. I have been a
team-player ever since I was born. The way my life is conducted, many
others look to me for advice, support, and help on an almost daily basis. I
love feedback, everything I create I ask others for their opinions. Ideally
this helps to improve upon my own, though this necessarily hasn't been the
case 100% of the time.
I look forward to discussing the possibility of employment with your
company.
Sincerely,
Corey W. Miller
