Re: TF2 - Friendship ends in one day
Spies aren't the answer to engies, demo's are. No one is up front with a spy or sees what they're doing. Spies often don't communicate what they're about to do or just run in alone whenever they get the chance. When a spy starts to do their thing, it triggers the entire other team to switch into killer bee mode and swarm… -
Re: Art degree: How helpful has it been for you?
Yes to the poll. Degree really didn't get me my job, nor the art skills. Internship and PC wiki did the majority of that. Instead, I got a lot of the other stuff; self-motivation, social confidence, leadership opportunities. It's hard to get that stuff when you're alone or even through a community college. I did the… -
Re: Applied for a job - usual wait times?
I get the impression it's basically just being a gopher, or a low level producer. Here are the major duty breakdowns: Assist the Production staff in all areas related to the development process. Help track and maintain all production schedules. Facilitate team communication, ensure timely dissemination of information.… -
Re: Does the current school system kill creativity?
There was never any real art courses in my high school / junior high (it was really crafty), and even in high school the art courses was pretty tame, the best course I had was actually mostly taught by a long term sub who was treating it more like a college course. My community college teachers and classes were awesome… -
Re: Physically Informed Spec Value Library
Hey everyone, Unfortunately I've decided to take down the spreadsheet and database stuff. This seemed to spread around pretty quickly, and was largely being taken at face value as legit information, when really it was just a rough first pass at congregating a bunch of disparate data that I was hoping the community would… -
Re: Software Choices
According to Gamespy's stats, Crysis actually has about 100 more players than Unreal Tournament 3 (both still pitifully low player counts, though). Call of Duty 4 is probably the newest game with a large player base, and I think they released their editing tools and some sample maps, so you could make some for that. I… -
Re: If you want a Joke, Text 44344!
I don't know about the various text things. I don't text, half because I have a sprint phone and texting is a pain in the ass, and half because I just don't see the point, Vocal communication is a much more potent form of.. communication. As far as Gimmicky phones, since I got a camera phone, ive probably taken a thousand… -
Re: Veteran Game Artists 4 hire - Asorson Studios
The confusion stems from the fact that Polycount is for individuals. Corporations have places like GameDev magazine and Gamasutra where they can pay to advertise. Polycount is a community of singular people, not businesses. If SCEA made an account and pimped all the art from SW Galaxies with no mention of any artists, and… -
Re: [Rant] Tutorials
:) I think this thread is pointless... You are hating on people who take their own time from their busy schedule to try and show their workflow (you should be able to pickup at least SOME techniques from watching a sped up version) or techniques they use to do something faster, or easier, or more efficient. I do agree that… -
