Save for the occasional game that really strikes me as well written, I think storytelling being an important and central part of gameplay has gone by the wayside since the days of Point and Click adventure gaming. Now, to say something on that matter, I'd like to compare two games: CoD4 and Heavenly Sword. CoD4 had great…
I hear the snes controllers are pretty hard to break compared to other ones. I don't rage much in games, especially not multiplayer games. There's something about there being human players that sort of stops me mentally, I don't want to give them the satisfaction. As for single player games I got pretty damn frustrated…
You will always fight that feeling of no motivation and being beaten down. Everyone goes through the cycles, but as artists we are always battling our feelings of not being good enough and heavy self criticism. Even finally getting a small break into the industry, I absolutely still battle the feeling of getting home and…
This is my second entry for the competition. Titled "Infidel's Bane" for all the Crusaders its killed,in its time. The weapon was originally supposed to be a 1 handed weapon,but by happy accident turned into a 2 handed Messer Variant. The idea behind the weapon,is that,it is a Scimitar once wielded by a Saracen in the Holy…
So offering critique is what qualifies as butthurt these days on PC? I wasn't "giving him shit" I was offering my opinion that his concept did not really fit into a Medieval theme and that the weapon doesn't abide by the guidelines. Perhaps a little more background info in the OP and it wouldn't have opened the idea to…
They weren't coasting with the N64, totally the opposite. Nintendo had far and away the most powerful fifth-gen console - the first 64-bit chip, the first with unified memory and I believe Super Mario 64 was the first true 3D game on a home console. Nintendo did then what people are complaining they won't do now, making…
nah, it will have the Rock and Karl Urban cast as Kogs sent in to battle a group of scientists that unleash a killer mutagenic virus in the sewers of a big city and the whole plot is not to fight monsters known as locusts but to fight the inherent evil in all people thats called 'the locust'. Oh and it mutates them too…
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on an environment where I need to have some kind of shelf with bottles like this one: As you can see there are many elements and I would like to integrate this in an optimized way with several variations but I don't want to have too many materials per bottle. I have several solutions but…
I'm excited to join the Polycount ranks with this, my first Thread! You all seem like a friendly group, and this contest for one of my favorite games couldn't evade me for long. Narrative: Captain Fizz is a reimagining of the infamous trickster. His joy in comical mischief merited him an unexpected reward from the gods of…
I am looking for a well rounded low-poly model artist to help our lead animator/modeller with producing props, characters, weapons and objects. This is a free multiplayer demo so the position is non paid, however full credits will be given on website, game credits etc. The project is a 3d war game in fps (with 3rd person…
