I was in the US Army Infantry. Fought in Afghanistan. Guns don't kill people? Are you kidding? Think I would join the army if we were using swords? Guns make it so easy to kill people. It's nothing. And, frankly, 99% of american's don't deserve the right to have guns. I don't care what any old piece of parchment say's.…
I completely understand what you're saying there Dave Jr about getting out of it what you put in to it, that works for some people and I'm happy for you that you have succeeded where I haven't. But although you have done a Leeds Met certified course I can very much guarantee that our courses were completely different. As…
Ha, thanks! Yeah, the actual process of getting the drawings is more interesting in itself than the animation, as the kids begin to take the game personally and exhibit 'real' evolutionary behavior, or go through various mini-phases of human society and the human condition in the course of a few minutes, which is pretty…
Yes all good things are in moderation, but unfortunately moderation does not make game developers lots and lots of money. If more people made games that had an ending, and didn't take advantage of the human social weakness that some people have that allows them to become addicted to video games then I feel we wouldn't have…
Dekard: To be fair to the industry people dealing with resumes and portfolios... part of the problem is that 5 + years ago they didn't have to wade through half the shit that they get spammed with every week now by people with absolutely no perspective on what is actually considered 'acceptable quality' to even deserve a…
[ QUOTE ] Ged, People can play this on dx9 with decent speed on 7900's and up. [/ QUOTE ] Personally I think that statement is a load of old bollocks. I highly doubt many people are getting good performance out of a 7900, and if you are its a fluke. PC's are finicky machines. I ran the demo on a core duo 2 with a 7900 and…
Hey everyone, I want to post my progress here for Art War 2 contest. I need some kick in the but so don't hold back if you want to give a critique. This is my current progress so far and some info about the character I'm making. Also link to Cubebrush thread…
In Holland its normal for students to have to complete an internship which I think is an amazingly sound practice. Years ago the studio I was working with participated in these programs as a way of 'giving to the future'. There was however no set program and the whole process was very lay back. You have to realize that…
Cars aside, name anything where the creator receives second hand sales. Why is the game industry so unique that they deserve a cut of second hand sales? Parts sales are not a good example either btw, since I can buy parts from many suppliers, where none of that money goes directly to the OEM. It is a fallacy that used…
That's an interesting point to bring up Tim, I've noticed a few of the guys I just worked with who had been around for a long time couldn't care less about the project which led to a fair bit of cleanup by other people after they left. They we're nice enough people , and I get that a niche "sport" title isn't as exciting…
