    Urgh, is this really the new theme?

    That looks much worse than the 2.5 theme IMO.

    It looks even worse in comparison to Opera's brand new theme:

  • How to use the professional recruitment forum

    • June 15, 2008 at 6:02 PM

    MapCore is a community comprised of existing and budding game developers. To complement this, we have a recruitment forum that recruiters may use to source high-quality talent, and that the aforementioned high-quality talent may use to find employment.

    If you're looking for employment, head straight to the [email protected] — you'll be promptly given access and then be able to post job openings at your leisure. Please mention which company you represent, and the first position you intend to hire for. You'll also need to include your MapCore forum username, which you can create right away.

    You'll be given access very quickly, and may begin posting jobs immediately. When posting jobs, please include the following as a base guideline (if applicable/possible):


    • [*:2j9nsbji]Job description
      [*:2j9nsbji]Project description
      [*:2j9nsbji]Estimated Starting Date
      [*:2j9nsbji]Company history
      [*:2j9nsbji]Contacts

    Please note that while you may post the job opening in any language you wish, the predominant language used on MapCore is English. Using another language will affect the response to your offer.

    Heh, wow. That interview is insane. These are three ageing guys who really were pinning their hopes and dreams on this, and they've completely destroyed themselves. In a weird way it's kind of sad.

    Nobody likes it when things like games, films, TV shows, and books are spoilt by someone on the internet revealing an epic plot twist. As such, MapCore is equipped with spoiler tags. Simply highlight the text in question, then click the 'spoiler' button above the post editing area.

    Common sense that must be employed when it comes to spoilers. If you think revealing something might lessen someone's enjoyment of whatever it is you're discussing, use spoiler tags. If you can, use them in a way that gives people a clue about what exactly it is you're talking about.

    For example, someone who's played Grand Theft Auto 5 for one hour is going to have seen the intro. As such, he knows he can read a spoiler tag like this without problems:

    Quote

    The intro is great when it reveals Tommy Vercetti is one of the first people you work for!

    ... and so he can remain involved in the discussion and keep the thread going. This on the other hand is totally useless:

    Quote

    The intro is great when it reveals Tommy Vercetti as one of the first people you work for!

    Anyone who hasn't finished the game is going to ignore that post. Of course, if you're ever not sure just wrap the whole thing in spoiler tags. Simples!

    This is just beyond hilarity. You couldn't make it up!

    The best part is the game can almost be initialised as 'LOL'.

    At the very worst you can just use it in a private portfolio. No reason for your employer to ever know.

    Yeah, that's a good price even if it's £199. Doesn't seem particularly atypical of what prices you see slapped on similarly equipped Motorola/Nokia/LG/Samsung phones.

    Not so keen on the crappy camera, though. I think that'll keep me away from it.

    Whether you're the real Nexus or not, I'm going to ban you if you carry on littering threads with posts that offer no meaningful points of discussion, irritate other users, or are otherwise clearly undesirable.

    The real Nexus was warned before, but seeing as I don't know if you're him here's the second warning. I typically don't give second warnings, and I definitely don't give third warnings.

    The posts were removed just in case anyone's confused.

    The test is a waste of time if you don't click the highly informative links that describe the type of person in detail, Minos. The names don't really mean much.

    Here is you http://typelogic.com/intp.html

    And you are supposedly an architect http://keirsey.com/handler.aspx?s=keirs ... =architect

    They're surprisingly accurate in a freaky analytical sense it seems (for me).

    This game gets my money when it's released.

    Same here.

    You really have done great work here. It's also been amazing watching it grow from a random model experiment to a full-blown game, clearly a sign of your passion.

    Curman knows he'd be permanently banished from everything and anything MapCore if he did anything mean to HP's account, so I guess that counts for something.

    LOVEFiLM might not cover your locale, but there'll probably be a similar service in your country. The idea in general is sweet as hell, and pioneered by the US's Netflix I believe.

    It's also been ripped off by other companies such as Blockbusters and whatnot, so check such big companies in your country out too if you can't find much via Google. Most in the UK are just white label resellers of LOVEFiLM though.

    Yeah, I have to agree that the hypocrisy a lot of gamers exhibit in that respect has always amused me. I guess the only solution is to just never do sequels and focus on original IP.

    BTW, this is slightly irrelevant but I wanted to point out that LOVEFiLM is excellent if you get through a lot of games. I've tried out loads of PS3 games for a flat rate of ~£16 per month, which you can keep for as long as you want before you send it back. They cover pretty much all games and it's just as fast as delivering from Amazon or whatever. You can even keep 3 games at once on my plan. Highly recommended, especially for those who take issue with the price hit required for trying out lots of console games.
