Re: Ken Levine closing down Irrational Games
Yeah my last post was totally knee-jerk and I apologise for that. Your post came across to me as the many "can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen" posts I've read before, and in my opinion, does little to help. Now that's something I just plain old disagree with. I mean I'm not saying I've got it right because I'll… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
My posts weren't meant to lead into a discussion of blacklists, so I don't understand why you'd think I'm obsessed with the idea. I do feel sometimes that if game devs had been more aware of the business aspect of the industry we wouldn't be facing the situation we're seeing today. We wouldn't have sold out to mega… -

Re: Over time discussion cont'd
Also for whoever posted in the last thread about "creatives" making us immune to overtime. Remember that EA* LOST that lawsuit. A "creative" as defined by law, is someone who sets their own hours to accomplish an asset. You say "make me a painting/website/character" and provide no real guide, so I can make one that takes… -
Re: Pixars Ed Catmull Emerges As Central Figure In The Wage-Fixing Scandal
Never forget its bigger than Disney/Pixar/Lucasarts. The knock on effects hit all of us in some way. Even at in smaller studios. If you work (creatively) in film, you see the profit margins being squeezed tighter on a monthly basis. It seems to me that smaller creative companies flounder because of desperate bids whenever… -
Re: 5 reasons why the (AAA) game industry is about to crash
This is part of what has lead us to our current situation. The average creative individual doesn't want to create a company, they want to create a product. They want to make a game. For them a company is just a means to that end. At some point, many of these creatives gave up control over their efforts in order to get the… -
Re: Loss of direction/ in a rut
as far as creativity, don't rely on the program learn to sketch good enough to get ideas down and saved well enough for you to understand them and use the applications to remake it instead of trying to save in idea with the zbrush or what ever. Theses don't need to be good sketch's, just good enough to get things flowing… -
Re: Advice sought - Work opportunity; Character Art for kids show
'the studio' - it's not a studio if they don't pay. 'The head of this group is one of those "I'm a creative" type of creatives; as in he doesn't give any logical deadlines or information, knows nothing of 3D animation or production cycles. His timeframe deadline was "yesterday/tomorrow".' - another red flag. Let's put it… -
Re: People with Autism + ADHD innatentive who aren't medicated do you have any advice to be productive?
(This will probably not gonna get me liked by HR) I worked in a vfx studio at a time while having auditory and visual hallucinations and was doing my job as if all is normal. Socializing was extremely hard, but I did. At some point I was able to cure my illnesses with no medication. Just intense sport, muay thai, jiujitsu,… -
