Good morning, Thanks for the input - the areas mentioned have been bugging myself and I guess I needed extra encouragement to fix them - the ground will receive more love and detail. The white backdrop - my eyes don't react adversely to it (then again, some people don't mind fluorescent pink), but I will review…
Adam called it. Personally I couldn't make a choice on the two applicants unless I knew more specifics about what level position they'd be entering at, what their day-to-day tasks would be, the studio's infrastructure and it's upcoming projects. Generally the optimizer sounds more reliable for work that just involves…
Well, I was afraid of that. But you're right, learning to program or at least script something like Unity is a necessity for a indie game developer, isn't it. The "idea guy" is exactly what I want to avoid becoming. Cliffy B, Brad Mcquaid, Molyneux and others entered the industry contributing something major to their…
As you get caught up in the how-to's and to-do's of class work don't forget what will end up landing you that first job. A portfolio with great art, constantly work toward that goal and you should be fine. School alone won't land you that job but using school as an opportunity to build a strong portfolio will. Also don't…

I think you know what that answer is, and know its too difficult for 99.9% of the people who try. The big, and not so easy step is to prove…

[ QUOTE ] AstroZombie: who cares as long as they do it right? I tried Netflix for many months and I noticed that during the first couple weeks I had a quick turnaround, then it got slower and slower until I cancelled because it was obvious that they demonstrate quick turnaround only for new customers. Same thing happened…
It's surprising you didn't take the time to read my post even though it was only three sentances long. I asked if the client insisted on something like this, or if it was just a case of going with what the concept artist came up with. I understand all about doing stuff for a clients approval, and if he said that's what the…
