Hello, my name is Dan. I am 13 1/2 years old from New Hampshire. I am extremely interested in the gaming industry, and I have been designing maps with RM2K and MoH Editor for a while. I tried my hand at a design document too, which I did pretty good up to the point which I stopped because of my finals I have to do in school now. Sure, I know your saying "You are too young to get a job" or "Buy a book and spend your high school years doing tetris or pong" and I know that is probably correct. But what I am asking is what can I do to get up my portfolio for game designing (documents, levels, etc)? Seems nobody wants a 13 year old on their team, even if it is a modification team. Thanks for your time -Dan Gonyea

If I were looking for a team member for a mod or full game, I''d want to see evidence that this person knows what they''re doing so that none of the other team members has to hold their hand through the process.
In other words, if level design is your thing, then include some of your best work in this portfolio.
