Interesting topic Justin, i have some indirect experience in this area and im going to go out on a limb and say "I was hoping the people that toss "go indie" around so casually had actual reasons other than being snarky" sadly snarky in the majority of situations is close to the truth. I have somewhat recently been through…
Wow I can't believe you made this many posts with only getting 1 reply! For your character sketches all of their heads are too teeny, their noses and mouths are just crammed in there, I agree with Razgriz that your anatomy needs some work and it's definitely got that high school fanart look to it. The reason it has that…
I think some of this isn't even sexism. I think some of it is just girls not feeling comfortable in a group of guys. Get a bunch of guys in a group, the conversations aren't exactly intellectual... Not saying it cant be, but guys like to joke around. Just like girls joke around. I think some of it is no different than a…
Puzzle meets old school beat 'em up? Sounds like the indie game i was working on not too long ago! Just make sure your core combat and puzzle gameplay bleed together to become the sum of their parts. You don't want a "slow" action game, or a "punishing" puzzle game. As for how us indie guys are doing, I'm still "surviving"…
Despite the default icon, most of us don't bite - really! The load times seemed slow for me as well, so you might want to try it on another system - a friend's computer, or a library. I'm a little curious about some of your design decisions for the pirate's aircraft. Tail-draggers (more properly known as "conventional…
Alright I've officially started making proxies. First here's the original concept, just to flesh out a sort of idea of what i was going for. I'm not a concept artist, the perspective's off and stuff. Just an idea, not an art book Concept of "The Core" And then after drawing out my design in illustrator I went through and…
A lot of games are violent because the human mind is drawn to conflict and the easiest conflict there is to portray is violent conflict because we take pleasure in seeing it resolved. It doesn't require much of the viewer to fully grasp what the conflict is because the conflict is very literal. Other forms of conflict,…
Greetings fellow artists, I am looking for a professional 3D artist to produce the original StarCraft 1 Marine (gun not included). Fell free to use whatever tools you like; but keep in mind that this model is intended for animation and therefore I can not accept a Zbrush high density model. It will need to be in quads with…
Hello. This is a post looking for a graphic artist to work on a 2d beat em up type game. Important note: the graphic style is 16bit, similar to SNES games. Similar to this : http://www.g4g.it/g4g/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/noitu_love_2_01.jpg Brief description: The game is a 2d side scrolling beat em up. It has 5 different…
Ok, I'm going to shamelessly lift adam's scene breakdown format because dammit, he did it right. What I'm Trying to Do: - Produce a very competitive portfolio piece (this is the big one... I'm going on sixteen months unemployed and have to land some kind of job in my area very, very soon) - Transition from U3 Editor to UDK…
