Re: what's a standard game developer salary in Germany?
I think he meant it more like a joke where Germany is almost always under the spotlight with the current issues in EU, kinda like how the Queen is said to rule UK, but lets face it, it's an internal group of assassins that actually does that. I'm not too well versed about Germany, but every country I have been to always… -
Re: Marmoset vs UDK for a portfolio
or just say screw a portfolio and try and get hired on your personality. :) doesn't really matter which, if you worry about which one then you're wasting time. even if a studio doesn't use unreal.. i'd still say to go more in that direction to show you can learn an engine enough to get your shit looking pretty so they… -
Re: Quit current job for brushing up Skills/Portfolio for 4-5 months, Opinions? Thoughts?
I agree. Don't underestimate start ups who'll pay you a salary. Even if they're in an industry that's only tangential to gamedev (e-learning, military e-training, medical visualisation), I recommend giving it a shot as you climb your way towards the bigger badder studios out there. Aside from aiming to acquire an… -
Re: Zombie Playground-Jason Chan-Kickstarter
The level of unjustified butthurt in this thread is astounding. I could go either way on this. On the one hand, Massive Black has done a ton of really great work for some very big and very successful games. On the other, they're basically just a bunch of artists with no track record of having released products themselves… -
Re: The romance of 'Next-Gen': Where is it?
Interesting, I kind of thought the opposite happens. Less hype means the devout fanboi's will sell both legs and a kidney to get their hands on one. The more hype, the more people are attracted. Average people are more likely to complain and help drive down prices? Also the more the hype and more people interested, the… -
Re: [Portfolio] Benjamin Leary, 3D Modeler
Just updated my 'folio after finishing a few projects and modifying the site's code into something a little simpler and more attractive. I figured I'd make another update to this thread, and I'd love to hear your crits if you have any. Thanks in advance. Benjamin Leary - 3D Modeler I know everyone said to do other things… -
Re: Sketchbook:ErikNilsson.
Digging the amount of contrast you put in to your black/white sketches. I like when you're doing that for the colored stuff as well although on this page it's not as present. You could probably punch up the brighter values a bit on some of them, and some of the darker as well. The latest one has a nice balance. Seems the… -
Re: Applied for a job - usual wait times?
@JordanN It has nothing to do with patience, but with lack of alternatives. In the meantime I am also applying elsewhere, but my skill level seems to be too low to attract offers, making it hard to not play along. @defragger A year?? Did they pick someone else and then changed their opinion or where they just building up a… -
Re: game art college graduate success rate....
In my last class of 22 people; 8 went to work in film/commercials, 4 went to work in games, 3 went to work with architecture and 7 just switched careers because they either weren't good enough(mostly because they didn't try very hard) or they felt that other careers than CG would serve them better. It's the same in any… -
Re: Is it possible/wise to be an all-rounder?
I can tell you this for sure- the more you know how to do, the more attractive you are to an employer. Especially with the economy the way it is now. So many companies are looking to cut costs where they can. So why pay 2 guys when then can pay one? Particularly with how much competition there is in this field. There are…
