Great work on the engine, I also have been going through some of the harder times you mentioned whilst working on my own game engine - so I can totally empathize.
Can I ask how you ended up at OpenAI? as in did you apply directly? If it is personal for any reason no worries.
Thanks again for sharing your story and engine with us!
Oh and btw if you need help with the game networking ( I built a sockets based networking engine which seems to work ok) let me know.
Sorry to hear - hope everything works out for you!
"Can I ask how you ended up at OpenAI?"
Certainly. I had heard of OpenAI from their first announcements, being a regular reader here on HN. I later saw on Twitter (when I was on the job hunt) that they were hiring and it seemed like an interesting place to work. I applied directly, without any references (other than being visible here on HN).
Thank you for your reply. I have yet to be confident enough to apply directly to companies I like, even though I am in my prime. I keep wanting to make sure my portfolio is "perfect" heh. God speed dude.
