Holy crap! What a guy.. I've done two art tests in my life, one was for Crytek and one was for Frictional Games. The later paid me when I was done. They are NOT a big wealthy studio, but they really respect there applicants. Working for free isn't something I personally would do, that's up to the individual. Being treated…
Arsh, I see what you're saying, but I wouldn't lump credit acknowledgement into the same category with royalties. One includes doling out a slice of the pie, and the other is like simply thanking the chefs. The fact that in this case, there are 300+ chefs doesn't matter. The fact that nobody may even look at the box…
Great thread! :) CreationTwenty: "They seem so happy, they seem 'disconnected' from a lot of the crap that goes on in the world in some ways. I like their respect for life." Illusions like these die hard here :) Bottom line is, every place has it's ups and downs - you just gotta learn to appreciate the good and avoid the…
I would be hard for me to say I don't consider who I know and respect who may enjoy the work I'm working. Although I would say, that the work I do for myself is respected much more than than work I do for anything else. Although I also do work to merely excorsize an idea from my head, which will lead me to quote Artaud:…
I think my comment then would be to consider your presentation - how are you going to make this stand-out with respect to every other glock model out there? It's going to need something extra because it is not a particularly complicated or interesting subject on its own. You've maybe moved through the texturing too…
Oh please stop this bullshit. It has nothing to do with not respecting yourself or others. It has nothing to do with giving your work away for free. You are NEVER required to do an art test. You are NEVER required to give away your work for free. YOU are applying for a company. YOU are deciding if you wish to take there…
AZ, i do think that it can sometimes ride the line of good taste or cross well over (as many budget titles have). but i think it's about as appropriate as making movies that deal with wars, either current or past. so long as things are treated with some matter of dignity or respect. i didn't play the Black Hawk Down game,…
Gotta agree with talon here never burn bridges when leaving/ getting fired from a job, With an industry as small as the one we work in you'll probably be working with the same people again. To go out of your way to sabotage something like these tech documents or anything else is not only showing a lack of respect for your…
I'm loving the game so far, knowing that it's using the Unreal Engine makes me wonder how the did alot of the stuffs, inspiring to say the least! It's a great game. So far (Played about 25% ) I think it lives up to the rest of the series, which says alot. And I don't think it feels recycled or otherwise lacking innovation.…
I dont think its a bad thing at all, its just a side effect of bieng part of mainstream mass market entertainment. Everytime theres a huge game, it increases the acceptability of gaming as a past time and this is a good thing for the industry. As for respect for IW goes, every company is out there to make money respect or…
