If you're an analytical thinker and you are genuinely interested in games as a career choice, you may want to consider Systems design for video games as well. It involves creating the architecture for things like loot drop, skill balance, stats and what they affect, etc. If you ever played games like D&D or Warhammer…
It's certainly a heap better looking than the first attempt, great job to all you working on it. I am really disappointed by the choices for playable races though. Now I realize that Warhammer was the grandaddy of all things we see in WoW, but that's not the reality of the market today. WoW beat WO to the punch, so 99% of…
I agree wth Yazora overclockers are great and they hav a forum too and you can read up on all the tech stuff first. I just did an upgrade with parts from them. Its not that complicated really, it just takes a bit of reading up. you should be able to get your money back, or at the very least they should swap the parts for…
I too have some doubts when some people claim that they suddenly see it as a black and blue (= the actual local colors) since the photo is nowhere near suggesting that (see the eagle example above). It sounds a lot more like an odd group reaction to the product pictures being finally revealed, because I doubt that anyone…
hey, nice work. firstly i completely second what Direwolf said - it's really tempting to create a really flashy portfolio site that looks really cool and impresses all your friends but think about the people who're going to be hiring you - they just want things to be as simple and easy as possible - a nice long page of…
I think that's it. I remember it as one of the harder things to master mostly because it was one of the first things I did even though its the simplest thing for me to do now and I've done a lot harder since. I wish I had started off with something that had less moving pieces. Also... belittling the persons struggles…
I have a far fetched theory. There is a major trend for the convergence of technology in the living room. Consoles are being turned into 'Entertainment Hubs', that can browse the internet, search Netflix, watch sports, and play games. With Cable companies hemorrhaging subscribers... I can't help but think it's not the…
I understand why people can get annoyed with COD and the over the top crazyness that it has become but isn't that what it's all about? Complaining about Activision making map pack after map pack and making money off it is just completely and utterly retarded. They shouldn't and will not give them away for free. People work…
This way you do NOT have to rig and animate it. Basically you just use vertex painting (which I didn't even know what that was before the video) to paint weights on your object in maya. Then in UDK you can animate it using vertex's. So basically you paint it two colors from top to bottom, lets say the bottom is blue and…
games are so much more advanced nowdays you cant even really compare. ever since fps's on consoles started using both analogue sticks, or cover systems were added, or the fact that the shoulder buttons are now the most common buttons used in action games/shooters when they used to be rareley used for anything important…
