Theres respect, then theres jsut being nice for the sake of being "nice". Should I be nice about a singers music even if its rubbish just because they are a singer? No. I can say whatever I please, at the end of the day, its my money that lines the pockets of these people, right? The bottom line is Turok is a mess. Half of…
The number of studios delivering for a Hollywood blockbuster is pretty astonishing. This is actually happening more in the games industry on AAA tiles as well, but I think that the difference is that it is not as publicized. I attended the talk by Maarten Van Der Gaag from Guerrilla Games discussing how they employ 7…
Hello guys! I'm looking for some advice about my folds topology, what should I change? Is it good enough? Cause I really don't understand how PERFECT topology (for game dev) supposed to look like ( even tho I've watched a lot of references and tutorials)
I see these: "need stability financially and in terms of lifestyle" and "I know that I'm not prepared to move from state to state every few years for the sake of work. Nor am I willing to stomach months of unemployment" And I immediately think that, unfortunately, games may not be the best thing for you at this point in…
Hmm...maybe look at whos buying as much as who's making. The biggest markets are based around those western locations, so I think a lot of devs are simply pandering to the biggest market they can get...but yeah..I'm tired of playing games set in NYC and San Fransisco too (or, if they're exotic..a generic tropical island).…
BMesh builds! Once the list has grown a little more, I will compile a list of the features in the first post and then maybe contact the devs with a link to the thread explaining why an overhaul is really needed and what people actually want. I was also thinking about contacting the Blender Podcast, which is run and hosted…
I think there's still a LOT of money to be made but the window for opporunity from indie devs is getting very small very quick. Even with a groundbreaking idea or a simply awesome game, you're gonna need to dedicate a lot of time and probably money into promotion and marketing to even get a look-in. Having said that, some…
Thank you all for your responses. I've been considering going the "blog" route for a while now. kdm3d - Agreed. I'll have a link somewhere to view it on the new site. Progg - Yup. Faster, more efficient, the flash must be killed. (I hear Steve Jobs laughing in the distance.) tbaugher - Thanks. Yeah, I think everyone agrees…
I've never expected a fix for this in a week or so in the first place. As you said, most likely it will not happen until the next release. However, I can't agree that voicing our concerns means nothing. True, developers themselves aren't free in their decisions on how to schedule their tasks and priorities, but if no one…
As an Australian game dev student, Snaacum, you've got the toughest battle of any of these guys ahead of you no matter how good your art might be. Most of our industry is gone, and the unemployment lines are choked with very experienced game developers all fighting for the rare game jobs that make an appearance. On top of…
