Your poll doesnt include enough options.There are various of positions cool all with their own positive and negative things.

I know there are Lead, Senior, Junior etc. names for almost any type of job. However the forum doesn't seem to support the option of infinite poll options, and even if it did, there are just too many different job descriptions to list them all. I tried to make the poll rather simple.

So if there's a specific job like Senior Level Artist that one would like to be, one can just post it on a reply.

After seeing the "Which game company would you work for?"

thread I decided to make a slightly similar poll. This time instead of company, you must choose the role you'd want to play in a gamedev. team. Also please explain why you'd choose that particular role

I know most of the people on mapcore are leveldesign and visual art related, so am I. However If I could choose from any position, I'd choose Lead Designer. Not because they're management related or because they seem to get most of the fame/fortune. Because, as a Lead Game Designer, you get (full) creative freedom to make your own visions and ideas come true.

Like building a house. Lead Designer is the architect and the artists, programmers, sfx people etc. are the construction workers that make it happen.

Mabufo here's a helpful thread

My very first character model is coming along nicely so far.

It's a selfportrait

It's around 1200 poly at the moment. I'm 100% sure there are better ways of modelling a human but it's my first try so I used all the sculpting skills I've acquired so far.

As for the use of the model, I'm most likely not going to use it on any game engine etc. I'll finish the model, make an uvmap for it, texture it.

I'll then use the model for learning how to rig models and make animations.

And yes I do not have hair and the shoes are way big

this is heading to the dangerous territory

That video blows my mind

hydeph why are there bathroom signs leading to a place that looks like a...stable?

ts_bikini blew me away when it was released. Especially the water texture in the pool and the fact it looked so realistic.

-"Let's go play some we"

-"What?"

-"You heard right, let's play Super Mario on we"

-"Huh?"

-"W-I-I as in WEEEE"

Banana peels. I got soooooooooo fucked up dawg.

The model looks like the real gun, which is good.

However, they really made some ugly guns in ww1

Quote from Zaphod

I've tried multiple times to get into this game, but I just cant : /I got to the part where you go through the portal and fight the annoying little demon dudes.

It's pretty, but it runs like a beast on my 3 ghz 6800GT 2gig ram machine.

The combat seems absolutely terrible, by the time I click the mouse, sort through the lag, and play through the slow ass swinging animation - I'm already trying to block. It feels like I'm trying to beat someone with a wooden parking block while wearing snowshoes and blocking with a bodyboard. (ie, it's fricken clunky)

The run speed should be the walk speed and the run speed should be twice as fast.

The lip synching is pretty lame, and the dialouge is plain and boring.

but then some other dude I know starts going off about how they are totally addicted to it and I go crazy and try to keep playing feeling like I'm missing out on something but I can't figure out what it is!!! argh!

Quote from Tarky

Really like how there is a contrast of warmth inside, and cold outside.

Exactly, the scene has a very comfortable mood

Yep I saw it when it premiered in Finland. I liked it a lot, however it was a truely weird movie.

The Bunny looks much better now. Less weird and more cute

Remedy is the Finnish company that made "Max Payne & Max Payne 2". They're currently working on "Alan Wake".

st0lve I already have an idea for a mod, however it doesn't involve

evil toiletpaper or cyanide bottles. It's extremely funny though.

I'll prolly start making some models for it and post them here as usual.

Can't tell you what the mod is about though, or else I'd have to give you cyanide
