Re: The 6 Most Ominous Trends in Video Games
Yeah the mod has a super healthy RP community, it's very weird and populated by very weird people. The community as a deathmatch game is wholly detatched from them, though, and it's pretty fun. Super happy cow, plenty of thoroughly complex games have distinctly authored, clear play styles. Games can strongly promote… -
Re: Great Game Design Elements
Multiple pathed levels. (Deus Ex, System Shock, Vampire Bloodlines) Open world is neat but often sits at odds with story progression. Multiple controlled paths depending on playstyle allows the best of both worlds, I think. Hybrid Health Recovery. (Resistance) I hate the "hide in a corner to regain health" stuff in games.… -

Getting into the Game Industry (Inspiration of a different kind)
I've noticed a trend here at Polycount recently. We've been getting lots of new posters asking about getting into the game industry. I figured we could use a sticky thread where we post our stories for others to read and take inspiration from. There's a bit of solace to be found when reading about other's trials and… -
Re: Armored Core V
Ged: For answer is good IMO. The series has never had "physics when stomping on things". Its just not it's focus. There IS a physics simulation being run on your AC though. Your handling is affected by the overall weight and balance of the chassis, in addition to your internal components. So you can actually make an AC… -

Re: [CONCEPTS] some Environment, Vehicles, Fantasy etc
Imo the scout walker is the best. Nice Colors. clean and simple. Maybe it lacks some smal details here and there. It' a bit unclar how the pilot is placed inside / ontop of the vehicle. The sniper sketch shows potential. Although the perspective has some very obvious flaws i.e.: His feet don't seem to stand on the ground.… -
Re: New California law narrows overtime regulations for skilled tech workers
"But I'm a guy with a family to support." It's for those reasons you should actually fight the mismanagement. - Why have a mortgage if you're not going to have a home? - Why have a family if you're never going to be there? "I'm not going to say anything, I'm just going to find a new job and leave." Personally I'd say… -
How awesome is your dad?
Stealing this idea from SomethingAwful, but I think it's pretty cool to hear about peoples upbringing. My dad is so cool. Sometimes I wish he'd given me more life instructions, but he gave me so much emotional support I can't really fault him. Some of my fond memories: He would put me in a wheelbarrow full of leaves as a…
