In the US we have a grade system (at least when I was a student) of A-F A being 100% and F being less than 60%. The levels I'm talking about are skill levels they reach as a matter of mastery (Reading skill level, language, math, etc. like attributes in a game character). By "materials" I mean new lessons or learning…
evil non-cyborg general wasn't open enough last time? seriously if your first thought when you read the theme is something completely different then maybe you should rethink your concept instead of trying to get the rules changed to fit your concept. this happens a lot in our own Challenge forum too. just like a couple…

Yeah it took me about 4 or 5 years before I landed my first job. It was mentally tough, but I just stuck with it. If you want advice...

There are tons of things in Alex Kidd which from todays standards are horrible, controls at first…
Have you tried career mode Quokimbo? I started out telling myself I would try and get all unlockables on each course via the 3 challenges... An hour or so later I was carefully calculating the combined value of my TV and PS3 Controller because both came close to suffering severe damage. Am I the only one who finds some of…
Maybe the indies or AA studios which emerge from the layoffs will follow this model. As I see it, the reason we are in this mess is because formerly lean and passion driven studios sold out to mega corporations that liquidate their value systems. Monolith should have always remained independent. Challenging to turn away…

I'm gonna keep the mesh as is for now, but I really do think the trimsheet method you mentioned would be a better option in future. I have briefly looked into it and it…
