Hi pixelpatron! Thank you for the kind comments! When talking about the avatars, we understand completely where you are coming from. Which is why we plan to implement even more styles to further customise your avatar more to your liking. We will produce a graphic showcasing this as an update in the next week or so, not to…
1. because there are no job available for your skillset at the moment, - This is absolutely incorrect. Studios will hire you, and are always willing to make room for talented developers. Example: http://www.bulgarov.com/ will not have a hard time finding a job... anywhere, anytime. Your not being hired for a one major…
Regret no, but I'm glad I had a backup plan. I still enjoy creating game art and maybe an indie game in the future. But, I enjoyed my first career (electronics/electrical) just as much and really started to miss it. I also have a family so moving every three years or working endless crunch isn't an option. Happy wife,…
Yea with a car you can pretty much live anywhere you want and you will only be restricted by traffic. You could live in Bothell, Woodenville, Redmond, Issiquah or anywhere around Bellevue and have a realtively short commute. All decent neighborhoods. You can go farther south into Renton but traffic is a bit of a…
Yeah, the 4-pack made it worth it. An expansion price for an expansion pack is appropriate. Sucks for everyone who doesn't know three people who will pay them back, though. I think L4D2, based on the demo, is better than the original overall in terms of gameplay. I don't find the daylight ruins it at all (it's not like the…
I don't know GodZero, for me I think they had a pretty damn good press conference. - I personally like the avatars a lot. Anything I can collect for or customize myself is fun for me. Not to mention is an extra plus to get the missus involved in things. I enjoyed making Mii's for my entire family and I'm sure I'll enjoy…
i just picked up and played through this as well. i thought it was awesome, although a lot of it pissed me off: 1. people in this series don't react in a remotely realistic way. that pisses me off. i dont mind unrealistic content, but if you put humans in a crazy situation they should react to it accordingly. it creates…
eh, i get and agree with the sentiment but I don't believe it. Film has been vastly more developed than game art has at this point, we're tbh following them at the moment really so far as art assets go. narrative wise, I suppose we're going in other directions necessarily as a result of how we interact with the medium…
Yeah, but it's not just that. In african history you can find some of the most extreme examples of ethnic hatred and xenophobia that aren't really a result of foreign influence. It also shows power and wealth can corrupt people who previously lived in poverty. I've recently read some books by Ryszard Kapuściński. I can't…
The only advice I would have is to just be frank and ask a lot of questions. Know what they are asking for and know your own capabilities, that way you'll be able to estimate deadlines and know whether or not they would necessitate working all the time. I'm in a situation right now where I come home from my day job (not in…
