Re: game industry!? :( Tell me the truth.
There are deadlines (target deadlines) to be met and you’re expected to be professional. It’s not fun when those two things are pushed to the breaking point. The bottom line is that it is a job. A lot of worker’s (and families) livelihood is reliant on producing a cost efficient quality product that will be profitable.… -
Re: game industry!? :( Tell me the truth.
The studios I worked often looked more than the lower pictures. But that doesn't mean you had to work crazy hours or were treated badly.

Re: game industry!? :( Tell me the truth.
Wow guys thanks for all the comments. I really appreciate it. I makes me feel a bit better(except for Bigjohns comment which has me scared shitless). I have been slaving away all summer trying to play catch up (since the program at my state school is a joke). I pretty much work all day everyday so I'm guessing this might…
