Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
Game Industry and technology will never slow down. This is parts of business and the reason Autodesk keep releasing a new version of their entire software list every years. That is why everyone need to keep rushing, producing and learning. Well learning isn't bad. But we aren't machines and need to think life too. I come… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
Well this is one of these moments that just require you to make adult decisions and decide whats right for you. You have to decide what sort of boundaries you when it comes to work life. I admire the enthusiasm many artists have when trying to find that first gig and at the beginning of the career. But once you make it get… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
Fair enough. I don't want to get into an argument as there is positive and negatives of both sides. I was only trying to express my personal view and experiences. I will definitely not be held back by fear that my child won't cope with a move. But the key factor is communicating with your child and paying close attention… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
What the games industry has given me...is a mindset of "it is what you make of it". I got my start as a texture artist intern, wishing to be a concept artist.

Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
I have been trying to land a full time job since 2008. Never went past interviews. Did some freelance projects though. Finally I decided to go to college to explore other opportunities. I am currently learning computer networking and for me it is a lot more fun than doing 3d. So it all comes down to the personal taste.… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
I agree with Skanker when it comes to networking. Having communication skills and actually putting on some pants and showing up to local events could be the deciding factor in a tie-breaker for a position. One of the things that has drawn me into this industry is not just the work, but the culture and community. I have the… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
I'm with Jessy on the moving the family around every couple years bit. My wife and kids are staying up in Northern Japan while I work down in Osaka. It sucks to move kids around so much like that. My wife and kids won't be coming down for another 3 years if I am at UbiSoft that long. It sucks to be away for so long, but… -
Re: Game Industry even worth it ?
Thanks man. In the end though I was more referring to the type of advice going around, and it's good advice - that's why I wasn't trying to mean any disrespect for Hazardous, in terms of Australia and the hard slog in or out of it he has the goods and knowledge. Simply I was trying to say that some of these guys who come…
