Did you apply to these in 2024? That could also change a lot, with over +16,000 people laid of in games since January of last year there are a huge pools of people looking for work and not enough jobs. Not all of them are artists I know, but it's the metaphorical famine times and everyone is hungry trying to find their…
Good read, sums up my frustrations with the industry pretty well. What bothers me is there isn't a creative outlet for talented hard working game designers and artists who want to try something new with other like minded designers. We all just throw our portfolios out there and randomly end up where we end up, studio A…
that sucks fingers, was that ubisoft montreal/toronto? Here's what I understand of the situation: If you are a new canadian grad who resides in canada, there are tax credits the companies can apply for to help fund your salary. My brother who just started an iphone dev company says for devs, it's to the tune of 30k a year.…
Kewop (and Ian, I suppose...): Yeah man, I did - or at least, as much as I could tolerate then I touched on the rest... It's hard to show empathy for a guy who clearly states that's he's trying to make himself look good and question why he would be praised for his work. It's really easy for artists to band together and…

i liked it. I didn't like it as much as 2 however. I saw it at an imax, and got there about 10 minutes too late and had to suffer 1st row seating My neck still hurts. Going to see it at a 'proper' theater soon but... at least i know now they're showing The Order of the Phoenix in.... 3d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! alskjfadj;j. I…
@Tobbo: For environment artists from what I understand, there is Junior Environment Artist, Environment Artist, and Senior Environment Artist. I only say that because I have looked at game companies websites and I have seen posts for both Environment Artist and Senior Environment Artist. Unless I'm misunderstanding this.…
It distresses me slightly that everyone keeps bringing up DirectX 11 tessellation as an example of an alternative solution. DirectX is a Microsoft initiative, and is tied firmly to only Microsoft platforms. As someone who insists on cross-platform development, I'm a little shocked that you all seem so keen on a technology…
And who is going to replace them? If all of these wonderful CEO's exsist, why don't they step up? It's like the argument that we all need new better politicians to move in and replace the current ones. Well, by the time you get to that high level you have lost any and all morals. The ones who are cutthroat enough to rise…
Dude, for someone who was one of the staunch / outspoken defenders of the female tropes in games thread - and for someone who critiqued my work on females calling one of my girls a 'creepy oversexualised shell' im surprised to see a mostly naked metal bikini girl that fits that description at the top of your folio. Edit:…
