Re: Game industry and living in Canada
I love it here in Vancouver. There's only a couple of other places I can imagine I would want to live. The problem is the price. The cost of living is pretty ridiculous. Housing in particular. I've been looking for housing lately and it's expensive. I don't have a very high paying job, and for me and a roommate we're… -
Re: Price of next-gen games influence your choice?
i'm not even going to consider wasting brainpower on the subject, at least as a consumer (as a game developer it may be a wee different, but not terribly much). i got in on the current generation relatively late in the game, and i'm very happy that i did. all the consoles were a half (or in the gamecube's case, a fraction)… -
Re: Reach out to the community for help.
Hey mate ! I see this post dates a bit, but I've going through the forum today and stumbled upon it so I thought I'd try to help a bit since I do empathize :) Everything the other guys said above is completely valid. The question is also "I'm working my ass off to improve my art and skills and applying, but when will it be… -
Re: UE4 goes free
To me the real competitor to Unreal is CryEngine and I'd guess that there will be some response. They're both AAA engines moving into indie space as opposed to Unity which is Indie from the get-go. Nice move by Epic. Even though this will open the flood gates a bit for noobie questions I think even if they get an… -

uggh game art or vfx
so yeah lately torn between the two. I love game art but like some aspects of vfx not sure which to pursue. I think people in game art are more passionate and artistic, but vfx can have its good sides too ie there is a more friendly vibe I sometimes though think that people in vfx have no concept of scheduling ie how long… -
Re: What's everyone looking for to the most at E3?
Toomas No worries, and I forgot to Except the Ukraine, and the St. Petersburg areas for fine work, but in general there were some LAME racing games last time, which provided a lot of comedy for us. As for Armymen, I ain't proud, 3do was a pit, and now it's dead. Moose, iMag, Chunkey I hate to be the bearer of bad news but… -
Barbarian - WIP
I've been working lately on a barbarian. It all started when I decided to make a head based on a concept by Cedric Peyravernay...especially since I never made dreads and wondered how I would approach those to get a believable result in realtime. So obviously the head was made first and then decided to go further and… -
Fearian's Weapon Workshop Wonderhaus
I'm playing alot of GO lately and I've found the Workbench editor to be really fun to play around with, especially with repeating patterns. I'll post my experiments and anything I learn here! First up I was experimenting with Patina skins. It took a while to wrap my head around these but you can get some really cool…
