Nice work indeed Sebastian, you should apply to Tarsier Studios, see how that goes. Also good to get feedback on your stuff so you know how attractive you are on the market.
Its not only about the faces Its the overall attraction, the big idea behind it all. Im not a bit fan of eye candy, but the way its presented makes it hard not to want to have a try at this game.
I agree, work out how much time you put into the development and multiply that with your hourly rate. No need to undercut yourself because you want to give them a price that is attractive to the buyer.
For hosting, I've been meaning to take these guys for a spin but have never seen any word of mouth about them that didn't smack of marketing speak. http://www.justhost.com/ Looks pretty attractive though.
http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/UnrealFrontend.html UnrealFrontend was an other way to launch the game and the editor, great for compiling and quick testing. But now it is not very attractive since the iOS update. So I use the UDKfrontend (link above).
Once the tagging (Horah my idea was already in the works) and thumb-nailing system are in place, I'm pretty sure PC will be attracting a much larger crowd. Just ease of access alone will populate threads more!
Yeah, gotta agree, the venue (while ridiculously awesome) is singularly focused on the main stage and the games there. I feel like should they change venue next year, there'll be hopefully more love for the 'side attractions'.
I don't understand??? the stupid Vancouver ones were designed to appeal to asian tourists but who the F*** are these supposed to attract? the Calgary 88 mascots were the best, oh and pixar should totally sue their asses.
Rick is dead on. I do a presentation on 10 Game Development Myths for the Guildhall open houses. This is one of my points. Want to work in games? Develop the craft skills that will make you attractive to a game company.
@valuemeal It's because Lawbreakers failed to maintain attractive gameplay vs. other team shooters on the market. As well as the burgeoning market share stealing of Battle Royale games. This has only in minor part to do with artwork.
