Re: Beachfront Games (Went Indie)
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.

Re: Gears of War - Impressions?
Before I start on my thoughts about Gears I have to say Im not the biggest FPS guy and can honestly say Ive really only enjoyed about seven or so (Golden Eye, All of the Half lifes, Halos, Call of duties, Doom 3 and Fear with Desert Combat on occasions.

Re: Zeth's WIP stuff
Yeah, I have a lot to learn. The response and feedback I've been getting is amazing! I'm still learning, so I don't have a definitive pipeline; but this is what I usually do: 1.

Re: Artists who left a comfortable position to pursue something ‘bigger’, was the grass greener?
Pirax said: Was the risk worth it in the end? Yes. It was worth it. Do I have any regrets about it? Yes. I wish I did some of that sooner. Did the place I moved to have a positive impact? Yes.

Re: Camera for taking references to sell them online
It all depends. What equipment do you currently have? What's the overall sales goals? The best gear to start with is the gear you already have. If you already own a phone with a decent camera you can use it to put together a pack to get a feel for the amount of work and cost involved in producing this type of content. From… -
Re: CE3 Detective Office
looking good, I have a few suggestions (in quick easy bullet points): 1. first off the lamp at the back of the room is too bright (its the initial focus of attention in every image it is in). I would expect the desk to be the focus (and as such is the contrast point in the room). a good indicator of brightness of the lamp… -
