Blenders texture painting was extremely basic and feature poor compared to…
A dream job is a difficult one. Especially after the way Odow put it, sure it'd be nice to have something akin to Valve's snack bar and just feast on all the delicious food and play some Mario Kart on the lunch break. But really for me, no matter if the studio building itself is decrepit and worn down, having a team of…
Steve looked down on the gaming community from what I recall hazily (not sure, but I'm sure that gaming wasn't his goal for his platform), and Mark didn't do anything other then to set up a platform from where people made rip-off games run on budget.
