Hey folks! I get asked a lot about the "business" side of being a game artist, so I thought I would start condensing my brain dumps into short articles. Awhile ago I did a quick blurb in a Discord group about negotiating signon bonuses during interviews. I wanted to take it a step further and make it available to more…
Hey guys, I recently finished a fairly complex scene inside of Marmoset Toolbag 3 (the project post is here) and thought I would give a post-mortem of issues I had and mention features that would have been helpful to have. As I was working I took notes of problems or workflow issues that kept recurring. I spent so much…
This is a pretty thorny issue but normally the justification goes something like this... The 2nd amendment to the US constitution states: We won't take your guns, you will use them for hunting, personal, state and local defense. The reasoning goes that citizens still play an active role in defense if it should ever come to…
A work in progress thread tracking a short narrative on Tahm Kench. Details to follow. [11/7/11] After settling on wanting to tell a Tale of the River King I began to look for any information I could find about him. I found a small blurb on Universe, Tahm's original launch reveal, and champion insights from his…
Hello, I'm new to UScript and a friend of mine pointed me to a tutorial on the UDN that shows how to get the mouse cursor to show up and interact with a level in UDK. I'm slowly going through this tutorial, but I seem to be having a couple of issues. I'm getting 3 errors that I'm not sure how to fix. I don't want to open…

> Nearly two weeks ago, my parents and I went through the process of moving to a new house in south Jersey, about a 90 minute drive south from our old place. Over the month prior to the move, we would pack things into boxes and wrap things in plastic, and the house would gradually empty as more cardboard boxes would be…
Risking being too blunt here but... You spend most of your time fighting weird quirks, and your experiences are not universal. Have you considered this kind of thing might be either user error or a bug? Have you ever just... asked if something is intentional and filed a report? Plenty of people have no issue working with…

The early years: I grew up with my mother only. We were, and still are, close. My mother graduated from Nursing school when I was around 7 years old. For her graduation present, her father gave her $100. She used that money to purchase a NES. My mother and I probably played every co-op game on the NES together. If I was…
