New art and -styles are created all the time and will also be in the future. I did not say that it cant be inspired by something. @ Jordan: You can take youre inspiration from wherever you like as long as it meets the 2 critera NEW and REASONABLE @Brian: i did not ask for reasons why you think its not possible to create a…
Talking to recruiters and artists in the industry, what they want to see in portfolios seems to come down to personal preference a lot of the time. I've been told they want to see more unique objects and I've had a recruiter tell me I should have more crates and barrels in my portfolio, so take your pick. Really when it…
This is definitely not a technical man's fighting game to be played in tournaments, but it is hella fun! I have friends who range from studying frame data all the way to myself (the only 'fighting' games I ever payed for was the smash series) and we all play TvC together and love it. It really has such great range for…

I do find it sad for the mod community that would like to spring up around this game. Its all baked out and flat. You cant go in and open up some big asset library and start making some new crazy maps with all new lighting and visual arrangement. If folks want to make any new maps then they have to start from scratch. I am…
The one thing college does help you with is making contacts local to the toronto game industry. This could grow into more professional working relationships in time. Make sure you know why you want to join the game industry. Do you want to do art, are you more about being a part of a company that makes games you love…
Ok thinned out the images, will thumbnail everything once I get setup over here. @ChaosEidolon We tried calling it a game, but attracted the wrong people, so now we call it a simulation. It attracts less CS / DOD players. We made a realistic HL2 mod to draw in the crowds. Indie games dont draw the publics attention like…
