Looks like a pretty good opportunity, however, I think I might be one of (if not the only) person from the south west of England, anywhere near Portsmouth.

Does 'Unreal Experience' mean 'An Unreal Level of Skill with a Level Editor' or 'Experience with the Unreal Engine'?

I applied before, (I know, silly me) and everything was going alright until they said due to some laws they couldn't hire outside the UK... I was curious if that's changed now or not.

Unless its some special circumstance, thats just wrong. We have tons of non-english people at CA. Are you sure it wasnt about your eligibility for a Visa ?

It probably means the Unreal Engine. :smt039

I actually think limitation is good for creativity. If we had an engine that could do everything, we would be in trouble. It gives us focus. ~~ Randy Lundeen

I can't find the exact email, but I'm pretty sure he said due to his countries current immigration laws they couldn't hire people from outside the UK.

I'm sure it has something to do with you being underage.

That's not how it was put across to me, but if so, I turn 18 in June.
