Authors notes: I chose Nocturne as my centerpiece for this contest submission not only because he was my first ever champion that I bought but also that because so little was written about him. Many characters have already had their worlds fleshed out so I wanted to have the creative freedom to be able to decide what…
I was in the same boat many years ago... I quit 2 years in after landing a job doing what I was training for. It was fine, it was a job, I was laying out pages for print and web. I worked my way up to management and was making really good money, but it was kind of hollow. I never stopped tinkering with games and making art…
What about the bigger people who lead these things and mentor the kids? They probably have to sign onto some kind of code of conduct if not formally its probably deeply ingrained in tradition. At 10 they may not have fully worked out their theological views but they're on their way and probably hungry for info, I think…
yup. in a couple of years we may have lowered our standard of living enough so we're on par with them ;) It makes for good shock argument to compare with commie china, but if you know how the place is run it ain't funny. This place is just so far behind the west. Lots of money and some skyscraper don't make a modern…
So, i'm really impressed by the amount of people here that feel pleasure sharing their knowledge and even their final works, ultimately targeting the improvement of others. That's really great. It's something that i'm very used to in the software development community and it's nice to see similar behavior around. However,…
Personally I've found that best use case for generative AI is using chatGPT as a search engine tool if google isn't turning up anything for me. If I need really obscure information, and just don't know how to word it or search for it. I'm making an MMO, and have no idea how to setup servers and anticheat and key programmer…
It is very much applicable. It was a law that was very wrong and criminalized people for helping others that were subjugated by another very wrong law. Forget the emotional content and think of the basic ethics of the issue. Criminalizing certain speech is no more right than criminalizing people who give aid to slaves.…
the above quotes might not hold up but overall, I love the post you did. People bemoaned, publicly mourned, wrote angry letters, did boycotts (20.000 newspaper subscriptions canceled) and sometimes even invested/used big sums of money to sway artists and their publishers. One example from the early 1900s is the…
I've got the weapon base meshes in place. 650/500 tris for the 3 pieces. After careful consideration and looking closely at polycounts I'm going to have to skip the vest and belt on the Ogre. The head/sadlle slot is 800 (fine) and 400 (ouch!). I figure the low poly helmet will be at least 200, doesn't leave much room for…
Hi Ruz Have worked in games a fair bit and then jumped back into animated feature work. I must admit it is alot of fun and loosing things like retopo, bug fixing and engine wrangling is rather nice. That and having a bad experience at my last games studio means I dont miss it too much at the moment. I do miss the heavily…
