Some WA studio info: * 5th Cell has at least 2, 3 if you count the lead. * ArenaNet is probably 10+ if you count those on contract too (I think at least 5 are full-time, but I'm too lazy to confirm). * Airtight Games has 3. * Undead Labs has at least 2. It's pretty slim pickings considering all of the people out there…
good, students that want to quit "their dream" because of a single thread on the internet should go and find something else to do. Do I know you IRL MrPositive? You sound familiar. 3 at splash at the moment...I think ninja theory has 4-5?

It's like the same threads that get…
I'm sorry but this is a HORRIBLY non extensive list. Techland (Dying Light) and Project Red (Witcher 3) are not even on there!!! There's probably 25 or more companies in the UK alone. Where's all the companies in Germany, Japan, China, etc.? Volition isn't even in Chicago, it's in Champaign Illinois because I've been…
I think you guys might be right, somewhere around 300-500 but that's if you broaden the definition to anyone who makes characters for any kind of game, if you look in the mobile market you have artists who make characters but wear a lot of other hats too. If you limit it to just full time character artists its probably a…
I think I came in in a huff and puff stage after I saw tons of students saying they were going to give up on their dreams after this thread spread like wildfire on facebook. Honestly, I don't know the numbers. I know the studios if you want :People Can Fly, Project Red, Techland, CI, Epic, and I'm forgetting one or two…
