An Arma mod on my resume helped me eke out the interview for my first full time tech job. As janky as the engine was, I have a soft spot for it. It's a game/platform that _wants_ the user to customize it and have a stake in its technology.
It turned out that they needed someone to paint light masks over towns and cities for their night shader. I was so hyped for it and it sounded like something I could almost do with my eyes closed.
I was rejected. Kinda thankfully, because a week later got a much higher paid job as a software developer and the rest is, as they say, his story.
