fuck earning money god forbid people would just be happy about having an sdk they can develop some shit for and have people play it totally interested in this, but not out of a money-grabbing-gamedeveloper-perspective they are trying to "stick it to the man" with all this free and hackable shit, and everybody just goes…
www.gamedev.net is a massive community of programmers and gamedevelopers, with a lack of artists, so that is a place to start. But the best thing would be if you had a friend who was a programmer, since developing games with a strange when there's no money involved can be quite hard to pull through. The programmer will…

I am currently looking for an internship as a modeller for dutch gamedeveloping companies. I have already found some interesting companies and most of them require that you send your portfolio along with your job application. I was wondering how you guys send your portfolio and which method might get the best results? Do…
the course that i am in (DAE) gives pretty up to date information when it comes to gamedevelopment i think.
