oooh dont get me wrong I LOVE the idea and possibilities ! It's just that trying something similar didnt really sell the idea to me so far. Plus I know that Wacom tried pushing little apps/widgets based on oen flicks and gesture (with the bamboo black iirc) and it was clunky and unresponsive - something that UI reskins are…
Hey welcome to Vigil! I don't need a roomate, but just wanted to give you a heads up on the housing situation. Housing is pretty cheap, you can get very nice 1 bedroom apartments in the 500-700 range. Your options are going to be pretty limited if you don't have transportation, there are only a couple places within walking…
The only limitation I have seen for the game art sections of the Artstation challenges is that they be presented in a realtime engine/viewer. The later polycount challenges didn't actually have any really crazy limitations, I think the last of those style challenges was Escape, after that it went a different route, Riot…
People: Tim Simpson (Pixelmasher) - those vlogs you made for the ArtStation Challenge were great. Josh Lynch - His Substance Designer Mentorship, leading to the Mentorship Collective with several artists. This is a neat idea altogether. Javier Perez - Substance Designer. Did a talk at Gnomon. A judge on one of the…
Yeah. Facebook and twitter, being social networking sites, are incredibly good at casting your net wider and farther than you can with just a website. It'd take you a day to set up and figure out how to use both well. And once you have, you've a 24 hour hub that you can release information to, and people can "like" and…
[ QUOTE ] "Dreamcast" was slightly more stupid, and you see where that got SEGA. [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] The Dreamcast was a great system. Maybe if it wasn't for the retarded name it could have gotten more folks to buy it. [/ QUOTE ] You're not being serious, are you? Please tell me you're not being serious, because that's…
Youre right, we really dont know anything about the game from those screenshots. For all I know, you might have a freaking amazing engine running with just some crappy art on the screen. However, I dont know that. I think one reason people are being hard on you is that you want people to work for you, but wont tell us what…
sounds really typical, indeed. you're judging companies from the outside and apparently based on rumours and/or maketing hype from the net. to at least get a feel what kind of company awaits you, you'll have to apply there or meet them otherwise. crytek has teamed up with EA and probably has much more money to spend these…
[ QUOTE ] I like the idea of buying a game and never having to worry about losing the install disks. Steam knows I own the game, so I can just download it with no questions asked. [/ QUOTE ] In addition to that, I love the fact I can play my steam games on any computer that allows me to install steam. While at home, I can…
Ok here's the thing; the head of Cyberconnect (not the Montreal studio but the CEO of the whole company) came to our school and invited us to apply if we were interested to work in the new Mtl studio. The guy was extremely cool and seemed passionate about everything of what they're doing. No need to say a huge part of the…
