They asked me to do an art test in Spine, a software I was previously unfamiliar with. I think the test was just to see who would take the interview process seriously and verify that you're actually looking for a job.
In the interview was with their HR peson and a Creative Director (?) who was located outside the country. They asked me to give them a tour of my website and asked questions about my process making the art test. The HR lady was very kind, sociable, and seemed interested in me as a person.
They ultimately went with someone who had more experience in the gambling industry, but in her email, the HR lady said she did advocate for me as a candidate.
Ultimately, if I was given the offer I would have been conflicted on whether to accept. Gambling is a contentious subject in the gaming industry and the line between microtransactions and slot machines can be blurry. The people who worked there seemed like nice people, maybe they sensed that a junior artist straight out of college may have reservations... Who knows?
