Hi @Karritz
First of all I am disgusted by the way so called potential employers may have covertly been treating/using you but sadly not surprised in today's employment climate. As you say you will have to wait and see and I hope whatever happens something good comes from it for you.
You actually inspired me into thinking I might be able to make functional dive spots in EA or custom worlds without them as it's one of the main reasons I no longer play in worlds without them unless I am going for a very different world theme however right now I have a mammoth task to finish (or it's really feeling like that after a week in already-) before I can think of starting anything else.
It will be interesting to see what happens when you try to make a functioning dive lot in sunlit tides especially as I have read it is supposed to be the one world with very shallow water plus as you say working out how to stop mermaids jumping first. If you do make a tutorial video re dive spots pointing out cheats and tips I would be very interested to watch that if you can let me know.
Don't suppose you could do a video in the future on how to make ports and gang planks for houseboats (if that's the right word-) as I even bungled that up last time I tried.. :)
