Re: What website, resource, or school was responsible for you first getting into games?
1) Many elements came together over time. '94 I convinced my parents to buy me RSD Game-Maker, it gave me a taste of game development. Then the Doom Hacker's Guide got me in even deeper. The Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale & Polycount helped me get in the game industry and keep going. 2) Things are better now, if I was 14… -
Re: SDF. what do you think of it?
One has to distinguish: Signed distance fields or functions does define some volume. Ray Marching is one possible algorithm to compute SDF's. Another possibility are voxels.. even if "rastered".

Re: Beginner 3D Model – Need Feedback on Topology
This is really overkill for a game but I can't really suggest much (detached handle example) without knowing the type of game and how you wanted to use the mug but as it stands I'd argue it's even overkill for a movie prop If it's a hero object in a first person game (like a gun in call of duty) then you want higher poly… -

Re: Graphical parity in multiplatform games
This is just not true. Gamers have not lost track of the PC world, there is just a growing demographic of gamers, and when that demographic grows the number of console gamers and PCs both grow respectively. To put that more clearly, "back in the day" say there was 2 console gamers to 1 PC gamer (begin of PS3/360 era). Say… -
Re: Former Firewalk/Concord dev talks Marathon
Oh right, my mistake. It wasn't blacklisting you were calling for, it was for them to be publicly named and held accountable to the aforementioned pissbabies when something in the game doesn't agree with them. I'm sorry, but that's stupid, for many reasons. One. One person is smart; people are idiots. That many people? A… -
Re: My Gamasutra Article: New Game Dev Paradigms, Thoughts?
As stated already, awesome read, truthful and to the point with no agenda. I'm new to game design myself, but my main issue with this article is it sounds like it assumes great games are more an accident than we give good design teams credit for. Lemme use the already referenced example, Minecraft. Was it the product of 10… -
