Ahhh this guy. Yeah gotta love these experiences. At least you have a scene that you can polish and work on for your folio.
Since it is literally based off google street view Harry, Howie, Weenie, whatever the fuck his name is can swallow 50 advil while washing it down with bleach cause he has no grounds to complain about shit.
I can confidently say that I could wager 3 months salary that this guy will never ship anything.
I find it astonishing someone would just straight up ruin their reputation so openly. Crazy shit. I honestly wonder how he makes ends meet because he certainly doesn't actually work for a studio.

Oh no, he's about to hit it big and when he does; oh ho ho, won't you look sorry for missing out!
Regarding the piece, there is a dip in the gutter you're missing and it makes the transition from road to driveway a little odd. Right now it just looks like a slab of concrete.
Marty was actually super nice and professional to me when he contacted me back in 2011, but from what I've seen his start up studio has done little more than put up a web page in that time, and there are just way too many bad stories about the guy - not paying, trying to exploit uni students, being a dick - for him to be taken seriously by anybody serious about games.
Hey Dazz, nice work on the scene by the way. Sorry to hear about doing work for free, at least you've got a scene you can show off at the end and work on and that's fine.
Like others have said here before, be careful when you're working for free, because the large majority of the time you're better off working on your own portfolio or creating your own content for yourself. There's dozens of people who want you to do something for nothing, with all promises of having a shipped title at the end and royalties for the amount of "contribution" when do the games complete.
If you're doing something for someone else for free, it really comes down to how much you trust them. Otherwise just back out politely because it'll be a better use of your time.
everyone is working for free, until we get signed. Its not rocket science. Where does the money come from, the money tree? Me and my team of artists, designers, music, audio, animation, we are all reading this thread, and laughing our asses off.
You guys folios are embarrasing, you have zero clue what we're doing behind the scenes, no time to argue with retards, me and my team have work to do.

Uhh... we all get of our funding from the money tree, maybe you aren't shaking it hard enough.

Do you even have a studio? Give me pics or get the fuck out.
Man I love it when this guy sticks his head up from the padded room of a cave he dwells in. This guy is pretty well known in Australian Dev Circles, there's many hilarious stories about him.
I really liked the part where he started insulting peoples portfolio's, it really gave me a good laugh. What a fluffhead.
Marty you should really stop posting, I don't think you're doing yourself any favours at this point.
I remember meeting you while i was still at RMIT trying to do freelance (4 years ago?). You really should try being more upfront with people and telling them it's an unpaid job, rather than giving them a contract with a 40k+ salary... when you get funding.
But you seem to have already fucked yourself pretty badly so whatever. Good luck with the project, hope you eventually ship something and become less of an asshole .

Wait... he's been ripping people off and broke for 4 years?
Yeh he's been accepting actual talented people's hard work as "art tests" for quite a while now.
I don't think I've seen him produce anything good, just lots of hot air and weak insults when you question him, everyone that tries to break contact off with him just gets a response full of abuse. He's a pretty huge jerk.
i really like it but i think the concrete between the road and side walk (the gutter concrete maybe) is too wide... other then that really good looking scene.

Actually we do know what you are doing behind the scenes, because you posted it...
Its using default UDK assets, clipping TPS camera, broken lightmaps, bad lighting, janky textures, ect. Its basically Unreal Tournament, which they give you in UDK for free. The best part though, you recorded a computer screen with a phone camera. How do you expect this, plus your attitude towards people, plus not paying anybody, to attract anybody to work with you?
Well that guy was a nutjob, although good work on the scene so far! Now try making something much more creative than a simple city street. It'll be much more interesting in the end I bet ^^ Also make sure to have awesome centerpiece objects within your enviros too, that way they will stand out even more. Sorry to hear about this guy being a complete jackass, this thread went off the rails in a strange way.

you are just ridiculous, you are ruining your whole company reputation by acting that way. You are a shame to the industry and you are embarassing yourself and your team in the process
You can go back to work on your garbage game with no funding.

I'm like 99% sure the only thing you're doing "behind the scenes" is giving dome to yourself. That could be considered an accomplishment, I guess.
I am greatly offended at your insult and have contacted the police about your negative behavior. Expect a letter soon.
Make me get out
Your 99% sure about nothing, you're in your own deluded fantasy world.
And Police don't send letters.lol.
All abusive posts are being reported to polycount (click and report button)
What you dont understand, is that we dont read this website, we dont use this website, we are only here to laugh at the posts. lol.

Yes, no, you'r right. You'r not here. What? Wait? And yes, police do send letters I'm afraid.
