    Welcome to the core~

    If your primary focus is how design effects environment design I'd start by removing the mixture of non fitting materials and apply some kind of grey or flat white texture to almost everything, if you give people the opportunity to judge "art" they will, if you make it extremely clear your focus is environment design thats what they will judge.

    Thankfully Unreal has lightmap only render mode which might do the trick,

    Notice that here rendered in solid colors the visualization will not be judged by texture choice. Texturing a world well is a massive undertaking so if it's not your goal don't make it hard for yourself

    Me either, the entire plot and balls out commercial/cheesy movie feel completely put my off visually the setting never interested me that much, polished to hell but just bland and boring ... bet If I played one of them though It'd be quite entertaining just don't really feel like trying it :/

    Yeah, but thankfully we're going for a nice mixture of color correction styles throughout the game, not washed out blue like this trailer _all_ the time ^^ You can literally take in-game screenshots, edit them in Photoshop then tell the game to load the post process settings! Really cool IMO and it works.

  • WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots!

    New ones are ok by common standards but old ones sounded more alien, thats the entire point of an alien race no?

    One of the most important things with an RTS game is good unique character voices! Starcraft obviously takes the award for best ever so I hope they can keep on par with it

    Erm Iphone has youtube app installed by default. So yes it supports Youtube video. I don't know a PC that can't view a youtube video and if somebody reviewing your portfolio has a 386 without basic modern functionality I doubt you'd want to work there ... that or they can't be bothered to install something considered standard. Fail.

    The answer to almost everything entertainments industry related is make yourself worth hiring, how you do that is down to you Never forget thats the bottom line and everything you do with the target of getting a job should come from that.
