    I filled out the survey but FIX THE COMMENTS FIELD in it. You can only fit like a dozen words.

    Do you mean the "additional comments" field? It fits 792 characters! Thanks for putting so much effort into giving extensive feedbackthough, we appreciate it! All of your comments actually, thanks!

    Get your ass to europe M~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    why not

    I'll probably be doing the one prop a day thingy and maybe a realistic environment before I apply to all places though. The application of a friend of mine to a AAA studio in canada got turned down because he didn't have any realistic pieces in his portfolio... and he's incredibly talented and experienced. Go figure.

    That was probably kleinluka turning him down. He's picky.

    i am sorry to read that. actually this is one reason why i don't want to work in this industry.

    Sadly other industries are equally prone to restructuring and closures.

    It looks like your game "Pocket Frogs" is a hit!

    Quote

    Despite being an App Store original, with no established social network audience to drive downloads, Pocket Frogs was downloaded 1.25 million time in the two weeks following its release, and now sits firmly in the Top 40 top-grossing titles on the platform.

    Did I mention that it's a free-to-play game generating revenues from microtransactions? Oh yeah, you might not like those, but it seems to bring the cash in for good ol' Zappy and his mates!

    Frie, on the subject of Steve Jobs, I can assure you he has an army of secretaries with access to his pro email account everyone has. Only a handful of people ever get to read an email he wrote But yeah, it's a misconception and a very usual one at that. I have spoken to every single one of the CEOs I worked under, and have had design discussions with almost all of them too.

    It's still a very effective tool isn' it? It's the message that counts!

    btw: chatting with a so called CEO .... yeah... sure. you know? A good CEO has no time to talk to "little workers" who get the actual shit done.

    That's a common (mis)conception. A succesful CEO must be so busy negotiating all these deals and making important decisions, that he cannot afford to lose time talking to employees. The same must be true for customers. When a CEO responds to customer inquiries personally, there must be something wrong about this company, right? Wrong. Gabe Newell responds to e-mails, not every single one, but many. Same for Steve Jobs. A CEO mustn't be caught up in tasks that he could easily delegate, sure, but if he still finds the time to keep in touch with his lowest level employees and his customers, I wouldn't criticize him for it, I would applaud him. This doesn't mean that this particular CEO isn't a dick, but I had to make that point!

    If they'd have the money to pay they would. Not paying you is very bad for them if it gets out that they hire people and dont pay. It basically means that they cant ever do it again if they get known as the studio who never pays.

    That is an assumption. As Corwin suggested, maybe they do have the money, but they are total jerks. It was a mistake not to sign any type of legal document (other than the NDA ) before handing out the work and they totally exploit that. However you might have a case, if your e-mails prove that there was an agreement between you and the company on the creation of the assets for a fee. I'm no lawyer but if you're really pissed off and want to do something about this, you could explore to go down that road.

    The least you can do is drop the name of the company, mention the event in forums like this one or better write a blog, share the story and pay them back by showing up in their search engine results. This could become a warning sign for other developers in the future, too.

    Can't wait for the day when cars will be powered by electricity and have a speed limit of 60 km/h or something... RIP

    I hate to burst your bubble but the top speed of electric car models by Tesla which are already being produced is about twice that speed. Regardless, I'm afraid there will always be tragic deaths caused by reckless idiots and I don't mean to downplay this tragedy mind you.
