I'm glad people like the demo and Slum is right, it's a lot better taken in the spirit of a Serious Sam game rather than a Serious... Serious Man game. I'm roadtripping to Dallas for Quakecon so I didn't even know this was coming though I can guess at which levels are in the demo... I've tricked you all into playing my…
alternatively.. it's a group of academics trying to make something useful they can sell but failing to make anything useful cos they don't grasp the problem people are interested in solving. and seriously... why the fuck would anyone do that when you can just throw a load of GPUs at the problem and make the same amount of…
C86G: This is the professional reason: http://polycount.com/discussion/81995/polycount-is-out-of-the-dominance-war-contest-doing-our-own-contest/p1 The unprofessional one, that I can't find the exact threads on but am positive they exist here - just need more time to sift through old forum posts - is that the leadership of…
I'm going to take the devil's advocate approach, as I normally do. People often need to a hear a difference of opinion. People are often self-centered egotistical bastards who go through their lives with very little thought towards their physical well being. They know little of their internal workings and demands.

I found a really good post and comment on reddit.com/r/gamedev that might help some people think about their time a little differently. Original Post -Full time employees, where do you find the time to work on your projects?- I'm going to pre-face this with: don't say, "I do it at work" or "get a job where you can get away…

I've played Quake, Street Fighter (to this day), and Starcraft on a serious competetive level (Counter-Strike for 11+ years to international level), and frankly they all require a very similar outlook and mindset. Some aspects shine more in some games than others. It's the same attitude you…
Currently in a similar position although I'm already in college and am trying to balance things out. For starters, throw out that "other people think I should end up as a scientist, etc." mindset as soon as you can, it will only hurt you. The fact is, you'll only get depressed if you feel the need to meet other people's…
Hello fellow Developers, my name is Jordan. I'm a guy bored with his day job looking to set up a team of highly competent and/or passionate individuals to collaborate with on ambitious but properly scoped prototypes that can be pitched to investors/turned into a serious thing. I'm a technical artist/animator, a 3d artist,…
So last week me and and the gal went 'ring shopping' and afterwards asked me why we hadn't gotten engaged yet. I said I hadn't thought she was ready and said I didn't think we would be engaged till years end. In reality we had been talking about it a ton and have been planning it. She got super pissed and has been mad at…
