Re: A game that impacts peoples lives
I see this as a sorta silly thing to say. There are are plenty of ways to predict things/story elements which will are more likely to impact someone. If you can't guess that a story about a man bonding to a girl, the age his daughter was when she died, has more opportunity for impact than say, a psychopath with a gun takes… -
Re: At what point are you willing to spend money on a ftp game?
Well a lot of it is matter of taste and indeed people like me do not like change. I pretty much have never played MMOs but just to show how hardcore I'm down on mixed game/payments the subscription fee was the major factor in that: simply didn't think games should be paid for continuously. Immersion isn't required for a… -
Re: Double Fine Adventure Kickstarter
The Arkh Project is a noble idea poorly planned and budgeted, helmed by a rather angry and hateful person: http://dumbthingswhitepplsay.tumblr.com/post/16877108113/there-has-to-be-some-way-to-tell-white-women-to-shut-up Looking at the scope and budget it's pretty obvious it's doomed to fail, is being poorly run from a… -
Re: [RIOT CREATIVE CONTEST 2017] Character Art - Cosmic Bard
Reply by Bodhwell · · Home› Contests & Challenges Archives› Riot Creative Contest 2017› Riot Creative Contest 2017 - Character ArtAlright, I threw down a quick polypaint to get the initial ideas for the materials out there and expressed my thoughts on the skin in some visual notes. Today I've gone from rough shapes and concepts to deep thinking about why this skin fits Bard. This skin is about enhancing the Bard fantasy. When playing Bard, you feel a… -
Re: How fast should my modeling speed be?
In my opinion, it's way easier to get faster than to get better. I wouldn't focus on speed as a primary goal when working on a portfolio. For a portfolio, all you are judged on is quality, not speed, so if you sacrifice quality for speed you are going to get dinged for it, but not the other way around. Plus when you… -
Re: Kotaku: Pissed Off Employees Bash Pretty Much Every Major Video Game Company
Umm, No. It was the consumer feedback and attention brought to it with the focus on Foxconn practices. That was the major push for Apple to hire the third party organization on factory worker practices/rights. To be frank, the workers wanted more hours because they could get overtime.. even though it was really illegal and… -
Re: Waterwheel [Environment Art / Scene]
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm hearing you all, that texture is too noisy, I'll be able to get some work done on it tomorrow. This first pass with the texture is what I'm going to handle, and, like you guys say, if the texture just isn't working, I'll scale the texture down and get rid of the clutter of noise. @… -
Re: Roll your own engine, roll your own problems
I think it entirely depends on the game your trying to make. For an FPS, there is no reason to build an engine from scratch. The Quake3 engine is a extremely well done piece of work, which is completely free in every way. And if not Quake3, then Torque, or a Quake engine modification like Darkplaces and Xreal. But there is… -
Re: Sumea challenge entry - Asmuel
[ QUOTE ] Maybe they'll let you work for them for free. What was the brief for the competition? I don't frequent SUMEA much these days. I like the design you've got going here. WHile the texture could use a bit of polish, the model and normal map work look great with a nice strong silhouette and nicely defined forms. Are… -
Re: I don't care about your ideas
[ QUOTE ] Naw - game designers need to know nothing like that. Story should be discarded at the start. A game designer should simply be able to take anything (such as get from a to b, or put this here) and make it fun. Anything else is just wrapping. [/ QUOTE ] That all really depends on the player. Personally, I think how…
