Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
I play games because i love them. I love how they work, i love how they come together, and that is the main reason i wanted to make art for games. To make something that works with code and design. So like Easter said, i disect how games work, i find interest in how they solve problems, or approach art in code and design.… -
Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
Personally, I usually only want to know enough about a given game, franchise or whatever to remove my ignorance and understand what it's about, how it is different, how it is good (or bad), etc. If it employs new, soon-to-be-standard industry tech, then that's another reason to give it a look. Other than that - and I am… -
Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
My only issue with this is that it makes it seem like you can't have any hobbies when in the game industry. If you can produce great art and have time for a hobby you like be it games or football or whatever then good for them. I totally get where you are coming from but it also makes it sounds like you cant have very much… -
Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
I wasn't so much talking about multi-tasking (even though that works for some people) you can still be pin-point focused on singular tasks but you need to be able estimate how long the tasks will take you, then stack those tasks in an order and get it done.

Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
The amount of time you spend playing games is irrelevant, really.. Having life experiences and imagination is where every ounce comes from. But when you start spouting stuff like "The industry is filled up with people who's art isn't as inspired as a 'true' gamer". Then you've crossed the line. -
Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
I don't get the either/or equation of you either play games or you become a great artist. I mean, it's fine if people don't want to play games; I don't know that it really matters. But, you don't have to "waste" all of your time playing video games to play a game. I play a lot of games. I just play them in smaller… -
Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
It depends on your gaming habits I guess. I practice a lot in my spare time and do a lot of reading, but every once and a while a new game will come along which I want to play. The week of spare time spent finishing the game is nothing in the grand scheme of things, as long as it's not every week. When in University I saw… -
Re: Work in games, but don't play many games?
I stick with singleplayer campaigns these days, with games that i know will have an interesting storyline or at least fun gameplay. I don`t play a lot of multiplayer games since you need to invest too much time in them to be able to play them. I guess it all depends on where you want to be as an artist, if you want to be…
