Happy Dantarion Day!

[Dantarion]

Sup bros!

Dantarion here, I'm kinda a big deal, and its my bday! I was born the day after mewtwo, isn't that great?

Anyways, I just wanted to come thank the Project M team for sticking with this for the past two years or however long its been. Ive had so much fun and learned so much from working on it, and made a lot of friends, and a little bit of internet fame in the process!

I just wanted to let everyone know something kinda cool that happened as an almost direct result of my involvement in Project M. I had been looking for a good job for the longest time, and I had all this Project M stuff on my portfolio. I had applied to Riot, Sony Santa Monica, and a local game studio in Santa Barbara.

No takers. Then I got a interview, and they asked me all about my involvement with Project M, how good its gotten, my role to the team and the community...and it was a major fator in their decision to hire me! They felt like it was a good example of not only coding work, but leadership and responsibility, and they were impressed at how many people are involved worldwide!

So I am now a full time programmer! And my parents told me dem video games would never get me anywhere!

That's fantastic to see your works behind Project M and other miscellaneous projects (a number of substantially useful codes) really helped you get a job. You entirely deserved it for what you gave to the community.

And happy birthday!

 

[Time/SpaceMage]

Wow, that's awesome. It's good to hear a success story about game programming! Hope your birthday goes well too.

Let us know when you have a finished game - a lot of videogames are lame these days (too easy, too linear, not based in skill/good mecahnics). If you haven't heard of the Extra Credits series, it's an excellent youtube series all about game design. Really interesting stuff whether you work on games or not.

Awesome news Dantarion, I'm glad to hear your success story!

Congratulations!

Quoted that last part for truth and justice.

Living the dream, Dant. Congratulations.

 

[Vashimus]

Wait, so if your birthday is today, and it's one day after Mewtwo's, and my birthday was yesterday...then... :O

I feel awesome now. :D

 

[Kink-Link5]

I'd give you $250 but I don't have any money after the EVO donation.

 

[Forlorn Penguin]

Damn, that's pretty cool. Congrats.

 

[Jandlebars]

Happy birthday, man.

 

[Vashimus]

Project M just keeps on giving, don't it?

 

[Dantarion]

I know! And now I'm going to be going to EVO and possibly Genesis!

 

[Sixth-Sense]

Happy b-day man you deserve it. Props on the job, i'm pretty sure everyone agrees that you have earned it, i just hope that this motivates you to keep on working with PM

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

Damn, Project M got you a job, that's awesome.

Keep on coding Dant!

 

[Revven]

So lesson of this thread is: add Project M to your portfolio if you are part of the team? :D

 

[DrinkingFood]

Are you still going to have a reasonable amount of time to work on modding smash?
also, congratz.

 

[Dantarion]

I think I will have time every now and then!

 

[Sanity's_Theif]

Good **** man, happy bday too haha

 

[traffic.]

Happy birthday! I commend you for taking your passion for video games and turning it into a bigger part of your life, I'm in the process myself and have a tonne of respect for what you've done with PM. Good show!

 

[KayB]

Good **** dantarion.

No need to thank me. It was nothing, really.

Seriously, though, I'm glad things worked out so well for you. Glad to hear the project was really helpful.

Hey Dant, since you'll probs be too busy with your new job to take on many big projects for hacking smash anymore, you should leave us with something particularly amazing, like oh i don't know, this is just a suggestion, but like a clone engine Everybody and their sister wants MewTwo and Roy to make a return, even if they don't know it. Even the non-P:M players will have a ball including a bazillion extra ****ty character PSAs somebody threw together and put on KCMM, there won't be ANYBODY who won't love you then.

Spoiler

assuming you haven't already done something super amazing that you're leaving with us that won't be revealed until the big Project:M teasers for demo 3
