Re: Would you ever sell out?
I would sell out simply because it would make me enough money and hopefully I push a idea people like, plenty of "sell outs" have made games people enjoy, and that's the idea at the end of the day, but I don't have a shallow well of ideas, I have ideas from everything ranging from action rpgs to theme park/prison architect… -
Re: First Person Police arms - Marmoset
Nice job man, its rare to see really nice FPV hands. I dont think the tricount is excessive or anything. I think its important to remember that in shooters, your player character is literally your hands/weapon. Its the most important character in the game, its literally the player's only way to interact with the world in… -
Re: IN PROGRESS: Grunge map breaks everything
It didn't crash the suite, just stopped me from interacting with it until I had finished the transform. Both the default shortcut installed with the suite and the one I made directly to the suite.exe are to the same location. Just that mine only launched the suite and not the updater. I guess we'll see if it's fixed with… -
Re: Struggling with creativity?
Yeah that's true Noren. Thanks man :) Thanks Target_Renegade, yeah that's a really good point. My lack of interaction with others definitely has a negative impact, perhaps the biggest drawback of working remotely. As for activities, they are pretty much non-existent, particularly with other artists. That's a great idea :)… -
Re: What's with the 'rules' ?
It's a great change for those who are the classic drop-a-little-jpeg posters like me to not be overwhelmed by these 'series of huge wallpapers' posters that bury a lot of the smaller posts (and made worse with compound image quoting with a oneliner which also need to be dealt with as it's a modern bad forum habit happening… -
Re: Im having Virus issues, any advice?
Sounds like a rootkit virus. Download Hiren's Boot Disk 9.5, burn the ISO to a DVD and boot to it. Run it's Windows Virus Removal tools... This will prevent windows interacting with the removal tools, thus removing it's "hiding spot". Finding a rootkit takes hours, so you better have some extra time. A lot of… -
Re: XNA Game Studio 3.0
XNA is a great initiative for hobbyists. But it is definitely not artist-focused. It is not technically a toolset or even an engine. It is a collection of programming libraries that are geared toward game and interactive application development. Probably the most appealing part of XNA for artists is the inclusion of a… -
Re: Facebook, Twitter and the like..
Making a twitter account does not mean automatic exposure. You actually need followers and fans who like your product and want to receive updates/interact/be in touch etcetera. Also, clicking "like" button on random facebook fanpage does not equal revenue. You might want to target audience that is interested in indie games… -
Re: Proposed law, new warning label for games
i do actually believe we have a responsibility. i think it's folly to say that games (experiences) don't shape our understanding of the world. however! this extends to all and any media we interact with. if you're going to stamp one thing with this warning, you stamp everything, and pretty soon we have writing everywhere… -
Re: Making games is murder these days
[ QUOTE ] Seriously, I'd go the more reasonable way first and outlaw selling these games to minors. [/ QUOTE ] That's the path were heading towards. And the companies that violate this get sued, like above. I guess this discussion has lost its focus. Who defines good and evil? Who knows. So I can assume chopping up babies…
