Re: strange/annoying fanbases
I have actually been "glomped" when cosplaying years ago. There's nothing quite like getting a full body tackle because "OMG you look like my favorite character! SQUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEE." "So, you assaulted me?" It's not as bad as it used to be, but I also think that people don't tackle a 29 year old man as easily as… -
Re: Spending too much time creating?
Hey Joebewon, You are in a period of life where you can afford to invest a lot of time and energy into honing your craft&skills. Nothing wrong with that at all. You're ambitious and you're trying to get better at what you do. If not now, when then? That being said, in my opinion, it is essential to keep a good balance with… -
Re: FuturePoly ; Prereqing/Preparing self?
Well, I have a lot of experience in the "digital realm" before realizing the near necessity for foundational skills. I mean I feel like there are a fair amount of people in the industry without having fundamentals who did something like I did (which was jump into the digital seat before preparing) I have a ton of interest… -
Re: Each indie game dev role's Tools Cost
Yeah, it can be used commercially, but it's the restrictions in functionality you run into that can cause problems - as an example it doesn't allow for plugins, which means no direct integration with version control. That's problematic if you're freelancing in a team with more than a handful of engineers. It's also… -
Re: HOW TO stand out to potential employers
I just want to shout this out if you've been lurking about the 3d community within the last 5 years... Yosuke Ishikawa is a well known 3D artist that NO ONE knew about before roughly 5 years ago. This dude came out of no where, and amazed the entire 3D community with his real-time character art presentations. (I don't know… -
Re: Kotaku: Pissed Off Employees Bash Pretty Much Every Major Video Game Company
Umm, No. It was the consumer feedback and attention brought to it with the focus on Foxconn practices. That was the major push for Apple to hire the third party organization on factory worker practices/rights. To be frank, the workers wanted more hours because they could get overtime.. even though it was really illegal and… -
Re: need help
We have active community members from the companies you are probably trying to exploit. It is out of respect for them, their hard work and their continued effort for our industry and community that we don't actively advocate undermining their efforts. Also there are more legitimate users here than you probably realize.… -
Re: no LAN support for SC2?
Yeah, what gives? I know LAN parties aren't as common as they used to be, what with high-speed internet being so much more affordable these days. But spawn copies were one of the best things from the original Starcraft. This isn't just a matter of removing spawn copies, they are removing all support for local LAN… -
Re: IronLore Closes
I apologize for my tone. I posted in the moment. You really pissed me off and I never NEVER make posts like that. I edited my post above to be a bit more constructive. That was not like me. As you said, the norm for me is to simply post art and tell people they are doing a good job. Everyone IS entitled to an opinion. Just… -
Re: Need Industry Advice
You're not gonna find a job where they let you program games and also make art for them, and frankly, if you try to learn both, you'll probably be sub par at both (unless youre just awesome which is possible i guess). I guess it would give you an opportunity to start your own studio and create a game almost entirely on…
