It looks incredible generic.

If you want to strip it down to one word it can be said like this:

Level Designer: Gameplay

Environment Artist: Looks

One thing however is certain, all companies have more or less different interpretations of these roles.

It also comes down to the tools a lot. Previously at IO the level gameplay was set up using an internal scripting language called SDL. This required the level designers to either be able to script themselfs or have dedicated level scripters working with them.

These days gameplay is set up using a flowgraph-like tool, which has completely removed the position of level scripter and also removed the requirement for level designers to know any kind of scripting.

So even within the same company, it can change a lot.

Furthermore it is differentiated depending on the team. On my team I am the only pure level designer, but we are not exactly like any other IO team.

And ohh Warby, there should be good chances that you also get to do some art stuff at some point.

That big rock or whatever it is looks really wierd.

The nordic governments have started to pump some millions into the Nordic Game program, which is clearly paying of now. It seems as if NG 2007 is going to be way larger than last year.

I have heard that they are also going to be showing the games we made at NG jam, anyone going should definatly check them out.

The idea of a fixed amount of materials is ancient indeed.

Looks pretty good.

Looks good Rick, but the building itself seems a little too simple compared to the nice amount of detail on the roof. Also, it looks an a little wierd with so many similar airconditioners/ventilators.

Hey guys I am sorry if I started a hate thread, that was not my intention. Take the video for what it is, fun, and nothing more.

Lots of potential indeed.

This might be old, but it's gold:

We just received a PS3 here and damn the games look ugly in 576i or whatever it runs on when using the standard cable. I am totally with Mazy on this one, what the fuck is up with having a hd console but only bundling it with crap cables?

A week ago I also tried Resistance and that was a fairly pleasing experience. I was able to jump right into the middle of the game without any kind of tutorial or instructions and yet I kicked bug-ass. It is probably boring in the long run, but for 5 minutes of play it did fantastic.

SS2 was a fantastic game and also incredible scary. I never dared to get all the way through it.

Images don't work for me.

Yeah what was up with the insane english words? I understand normal english just fine, but I had never heard of half of those words in the first test before.

The only offline test I have ever taken was the one during the military commitee(where they check if you are eligle for the army), in which I scored a 5 on scale going from 1-5. So cool enough with the topscore, but I got no idea of what it corresponds to in IQ.

Looks good tomdon, but I see 3 issues(and solutions):

- Textures need to be aligned properly on the inenr arches. Alt+right click is your friend here.

- The "broken" pieces of the upper wall texture got some visible tiling. Work with your geometry to hide it.

- The transition between your lower and upper wall texture is way too sharp. Blend the two textures together better.

Being smart is about realizing exactly how smart you are. Or however it is that quote goes. Anwyays I guessed my IQ to be 100 before the test and check the result here below. Apparently I am as average as it can get.

Also interesting that it I am clearly more of a logic/math guy compared to perception and memory.

Haha that is hillarious! He could have kicked her in a little more gentle way though and it would still be fun.

I remember discussing the subject of Mapcore T-shirts some years ago, but I don't think it ever got any further?

I believe that we are a lot who would want one, especially if it's decent quality and looks good. Considering all the amazing graphic guys we got here, it should be possible that someone could design a nice Mapcore t-shirt.

Yay, it seems as if the Hitman games are selling really well. The collection package is 3rd on sales, beating everything but the two cs games.

Those textures look pretty good. Some of the architecture in that map also looks interesting, despite being pretty random.
