Re: Tournament Ticket Item Bundles - Discussion
It's not ours to know or care what they do with their money. I can guarantee that the money valve makes off the workshop is honestly a drop in the bucket of their entire income. If they actually used the money for dev salaries, they would put time into it. It's honestly just a supplemental income diversifying their… -
Re: Why Gears of War costs $60
Yeah, I appreciate that artists make up a large percentage of the workforce and thus a fair chunk of dev. costs. That wasn't my point really tho'. My point was mainly that the author of the article was blurring the lines between profit share and development costs. She made no clear distinction between the two. The articles… -

Re: UE4 gpu lightmap baker??
@melviso There is an old-school plugin for Max called Flatiron. It hasn't really been updated in years but the devs still recompile and sell it. It's a complete ray-traced scene baking tool that is aimed at porting the baked lighting to real-time. Thought you might be interested. Edit: just found this vid from the devs… -
Re: EA Closes Mythic
I just played Dungeon Keeper - amazing work guys, it's a shame 99% of all the people bashing it never even downloaded the app. If you're going into it for the first time, compare it to Clash of Clans, collectively called "Battle Games". Maybe if us mobile devs continue to just make Battle Games for the next 20 years we'll… -
Re: Steam Console...
I think hardware spec ratings would be great! So devs could make games for spec'd machine class, and gamers could build for a spec'd class. As new hardware comes out and new classes would be made, and devs could aim and optimize for different specs. No more High, Med, Low settings, but settings for different spec systems.… -

Re: does linear workflow still 'matter' in 2015
None of the texture artists and painters in my studio have a clue about linear workflow :D So our our look dev/shading team simply assume every thing are sRGB. This is especially true with hand-painted projects. On more realistic project we would always use spec/gloss/displacement and HDRI as linear although they are… -
Re: Artist exercises. (Formerly: Upping the ante on our next challenge(s).)
There def should be a balance. I've been wanting to do another vehicle or fps weapon based one for a while. The old fps one, the f-zero one and the jet moto one was awesome. I want to do more of those. Def 2012 will be more challenges/contests. I think an article about the winner on the front page is a fantastic idea and…
