I plan to set up a new Studio this year. And I have been asking myself the same question for quite a while. My conclusion is the fact that Flash was dropped from Apple doesn't mean it is dead. And for better or worse, I am placing my development bets on Flash. I love the fact that people can just land on a page and play.…

Just realized its been quite a lil while since last update, Life got in the way as usual but I'm doing my best to get back to work on this, Been mostly working on the skin recently, started doing some test on the clothing but so far I wasn't convince with the frost effect I was trying to get, this will definitly need more…
True, but you have to take into consideration there are many young 12-20 people playing this game who need guidance and their lives; their flaws don't need to be amplified they need to be guided in the right direction. The problem in today's world is that many kids don't have direction and they fall to horrible vices;…
Ok, so lets make this clear. Do you people do this? Yes, absolutely people have done this and will continue to do this. Is this smart? Absolutely not, you need to be very aware of the consequences. Showing off printed work, or showing off a digital copy doesn't make any difference, its still just as much a breach of…

In this day and age its way too unweildy financially, the tech wont stand up to it either.. and if it did the cost to set all that up for one user and charge them per month you're going to need alot of damn months to make your cash back . The amount of machinery required to run this for 10k users (which I would consider…
There's a lot you can do to gain motivation. I would suggest narrowing your interests down to one thing you find that you enjoy, first. Too much goes into making a game, you might find there are aspects you don't like and lose motivation during those parts of creation. My experiences are all art-related but I think they…
I still think some major work needs to be done on the stainless steel. It still feels very Matte in most areas. I would punch up the specular, alot Even when it's dirty and has damage to the surface, like in this reference, you still get some really strong highlights, and you should be getting this in your for sure,…
well if you plan on having light blasting from the center of it...I would definitely get a light in there. I think something not translating well to 3d is that your concept seems to have white in between the black and blue, not transparent. You may also want to crank up the self-illumination on your materials to get rid of…
