Re: has anyone done some realtime visualization project before?
Make a prototype first. I would personally choose Unity3d because I know they are putting out version 5 with the possibility of doing away with the need for browser plugin download using html 5. Making a demo has the advantage of showing what is possible, allows you to see how long it will take and how much effort you will… -
Re: Nintendo, PS3...Piracy Tactics
Nothing in life is that simple, but let's roll with that, anyways. Let's assume pirates are all just whiny bitches who want things for free. Why the f*** are they trying to convert whiny bitches who want everything for free into paying customers. That's stupid. There are plenty of people in the world who are perfectly… -
Re: CryEngine moves to a subscription based model.
If you guys think Crytek hobbled this together as a knee-jerk reaction to Epic's announcement of UE4, you're kidding yourselves and coming off as rather naive. The zeitgeist of our entire industry - not just us as developers, but the games themselves - are moving in this direction. Games and our tools as a service. It's… -

what’s the difference with (blech) and (schlep)?
I have actually used both <blech> and use Sketchup V-ray. I am an interior designer and have been using different renderfarms and I can tell you the differences and what will benefit you more. When I used <schlep> it was nice, but I now know that it has some cons when using it. I sent a few renderings from my interior… -
Re: Game Dev Tycoon - The ultimate DRM
That's a huge assumption and your opinion, not a fact. The reasons the industry is not doing well is mostly internal. The landscape is changing and they're slow to adapt, so they respond to flagging profits by canning studios and employees. @everybody that supports bugged torrents Poisoning the torrents is not the proper… -
Re: Microsoft buying an Indie games developer "Mojang" for $2 Billion
In Microsoft's defense, the Xbox division has not been profitable for quite some time afaik. I remember reading an article not too long ago that claimed Microsoft was losing something like a billion dollars a year because of the Xbox. I thought the whole reason Microsoft even got into the games industry was to just get… -
Re: 3Ds Max tips for working on highpoly objects
What Max version, which service pack ? Max 2017 has seen a great increase in edit mesh/edit poly performance. But Max 2016 isn't too bad either. It all depends whether it's really the raw poly count that kills your performance or other reasons. Of course you can't expect to get good performance if you use a modifier stack… -
Re: Be Grateful You Have A Job?
It's definitely a slave-like mentality. It would require you to think so lowly of yourself that you'd appreciate even the most horrific conditions or abuse because in this case, work is considered more a charity the "job creator" provides than a valued service that you provide. Someone who isn't desperate and who provides… -
Re: The value of money and games
In my mind, I would prefer to pay for the services I receive, rather than pay the same aggregate price as everyone else for services I may or may not have received. I don't believe I should pay the marked up price for a game if it never required being on a shelf for me to purchase it. I never buy games from a physical…
