most games use stereotyped characters because the writers are either hacks or do not have any writing experience/talent/knowledge. In any case, like I said, stereotyped characters are easy to do, there's little character development going on and they're easilly recognizable. The strong/intelligent male hero is usually…
Yes. Anywhere. You act like I have never heard of Japan. I studied Japanese for years. I was going to double major in Asian area studies focusing on Japan. I had a Japanese roommate for a year. I wasn't impressed. Their education seems even less broad than in the US, which I think is pathetic. [edit] I find it especially…
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to polycount so... Hi, i'm a 3rd year Games Art student from University of Hertfordshire :smile: This thread will be focusing on my development for my 3rd year uni game, Tail of Inari, a 3D point-and-click adventure game. This thread will be ever-growing, so everything might change around; and…
I think it comes down to how people react in the end. As a company they are often forced to save face so have to do the needful. One does wonder why they are hired in the first place (ideally it is because they are suited to the job which is all it ought to be really) This one incident comes to mind,…
"Unexploited", with all that that word implies, is good. Help them develope the skills and tools so they can make their own games and tell their own stories. like "The Fast Runner" and "Never Alone". Why it isn't as prevelant in western entertainment is simple, it doesn't make money. Take two films as example: The Last…
Interesting. Gotta agree with Miyazaki that they made a quite revolting piece - they could have chosen a different dummy. But Miyazaki also shows a very Japanese attitude - Japanese highly value manually done arts and crafts work. But even in many smaller companies the degree of automation is much lower than in the US/EU.…
Another big issue that has been facing the Vita is what's been happening in Japan. Nintendo scored a major upset when they convinced Capcom to shift the focus of Monster Hunter over to their platforms. Right now the Vita just has an optimized version of a PSP Monster Hunter game that you can download from PSN. The 3DS has…
I don't know what they are droning on about anyway, Tokyo is like 99% Japanese 1% foreigner. Japan as a whole is 99.9% Japanese. We get it rough here, a little human rights would go a long way. But so does not; taking the piss, acting like you're in a theme park or screaming at the top of your voice in english, drunk…
Hmm, that's all very interesting Pior. This is something that i have also been struggling a lot with recently, but kind of for a different reason. I've started getting more into trying to do high resolution key framed animation, and for the life of me I've attempted to find examples of things animated 100% digitally that…
Looking for digital artists and concept artists to participate in a team project. We currently have 10 people working together to create both a playable demo and cinematic trailer for what will hopefully be a major production with PlayStation. We also have plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign for initial funding. We…
