Okay here is my take on it:

I also "liked" the music but I found it to be quite out of place honestly, doesn't really give a serious impression

I also liked the building, but as mentioned before, it's getting way too much screentime in comparison to the other stuff. Maybe because it is the only scene you are really happy with and the rest is of less quality? Doesn't necessarily need to be that way, but it gives the impression.

As Acumen said, for instance foliage models, rocks, textures, the huts, the tower only get 2 screenshots. By the time I read through what you made in that scene, it's already gone again. Some close ups and ingame footage would be good here I think.

The dinner table scene looks a bit underwhelming, I dont think it's working to your benefit when you put it in the reel.

The door, the graveyard, the cart look solid I guess, but I'm not sure if that's enough for getting you a job as an environment artist.

I'm not an artist and I'm a bit spoiled by fancy next-gen shaders , but if you don't have enough "wow" material to show yet, you might want to sit down and crank out some more complex props and scenes and make sure you get it right the first time you send out the applications.

Check out some reels of other people who did environment art for the source engine. Stuff for ND, like S47ns or "Robert Briscoe's" reel ( http://www.littlelostpoly.co.uk/ ) come to my mind. Just to see what you are up to.

Very cool stuff min0! In America that thing would have lasted 3 people before some asshole painted the entire canvas black and shot everyone there

From what I've read in articles and seen on TV some of those favelas in brazil make compton and the bronx look like disney land so I would be careful with such comparisons

Woa lots of cool entries, good luck to everyone and props to fetter for organizing the whole thing

True - does anybody see a parallel to the BF franchise?

The animations was what got me. The game just feels alive.

I'm not such a big CoD fan, but when I think of it, great animations and scripted scenes close to perfection certainly come to my mind.

Nice editing on the trailer! I have no idea what's going on, but I think you get to shoot insurgents of Arabian origin and commies so that's always a good thing!

No seriously, it's a nice movie, but I have no clue what the game is going to actually look like...anyone got more info?

That looks sick, awesome warby!

Before this is done we need a poll at least. I say mapcore/Mapcore (my personal favorite is mapcore), tilde and could have EOT allthough thats not like what mapcore is, actually most members dont post in EOT. But Hurg?? NO WAY! I say. I dunno i might be kind of anti Hurg. But its NOT mapcore whats so ever. Well maybe like 0,01%. But Hurg is really late in mapcore´s history. EOT has i think allways been there, at least as long as i have been here. Tilde came a bit after but not many years. Anyway poll! Before Hurg!

First of all the tilde has been around way before EOT and these forums even (bless Mazy, keeper of the tilde) and they said they will do a MapCore shirt after the hurg one (technically, hurg IS an EOT shirt). Relax..

haha yea make it say EOT

Can't wait for the mapcore one!

Heh nice, good job!

Lots of bands promote their music via myspace actually, even the ones who got a real website

You're getting paid to make videogames and Riddick is your boss.

That sounds like a nerd's wet dream! Respect!

Another piece of information some might find useful:

Don't apply for the CEO position

Quite, hope you got some cash out of it as well.

Quote from dux

I once wore a thong.

I don't want to know what company you applied at..

If you want to stand out, wear a suit!

(if that is standing out in a good or in a bad way is subject to everyone's own opinion I assume )

Just stop wearing it once you are hired...we had this one guy once who only had suits to wear, until the rest of his stuff arrived. Oh boy, he sure had to suffer for that...probably best line I heard: "Nice mousepad....does that come in a suit?" ZING

I would be interested in knowing how casual/strict the dress code at publishers is. I think wearing a suit for an interview at such a place would be appropriate.
