Valve has always been profitable on their games, they'd be doing fine without Steam. Obviously Steam does help them be more comfortable about it.

wreck it ralph. soooo damn good!

rocking it like a boss congrats man! well deserved.

yeah, going to be awesome!

that said, those posters are aweful. who greenlit that stuff? galadriel seems to be giving you the finger, bilbo's hair doesn't match the background, gandalf has poorly pasted leaves in front of him... wtf?

haha, sorry, that only happened after downscaling. i hate sharpening in downscaled pictures, so I have some presets that apply a noise pattern before I downsample them. I didn't bother to check the pics at a hundred percent scale though

lesson learned!

hiking trip in the malibu mountains today. one fantastic thing about LA is how fast you can go from total city scape to absolute quiet hiking trails up in the hills.

awesome! those came out great

Looking for Internships?

Only crit at this point is, that just from that trailer I would have no idea what you are doing The actual tools look super nice though and certainly a lot like the stuff that really needed fixing in Maya

Layoffs always suck - hope everyone lands save on their feet. That said, I don't feel very sorry for Zynga.

yeah, any chance you can post the rest of the photos from the day at venice? some great motives you captured there

yeah, I've seen some talented folks around who just completely failed to understand how to break up geometry to make it work in an engine. It's not so much if you chose Unreal or CryEngine or Source or Unity, its really about the fundamental using any Engine and comparing and understanding the results between the source file and the resulting asset.

why is this coming out in the US only on November 9th? WTF?

Been here less than a month and managed to sneak the Hurg into his first team presentation. Respect!

Thought it to be adequate as if it weren't for mapcore I most probably wouldn't have gotten the offer.

damn, I need to get back to frankfurt. what kind of awesomeness is this?

in a related note: yesterday it's been two years with crytek. and i guess I really have to thank mapcore (and especially the crycore gang from 2010/11) for that much love!

the 3d bluray is soooo good (idk if i posted that before, i dont care). literally so good that now i want to buy a 3d tv asap...

I have also played recently that game. GFWL annoyed me as hell until... I made an offline account. From this moment I was free. No silly updates, no silly synchronizations, nothing at all. And I played the game with Steam Big Picture in my bed by the way, that was awesome !

haha yeah, big picture is awesome

just finished Batman Arkham Asylum. Great game with lots of cool moments (and next to Splinter Cell Conviction my second game exclusively played with the gamepad). But WHAT THE heck is up with Games for Windows Live? Took ages to load everytime I start the game. First time starting the game it took an extra half-an-hour to set it up (because it only realised after the game was loaded that it needed an update)... seriously, why do Developers still use that crap

wait... that doesnt make any sense

like dux said, it's going to be a shitstorm deluxe, and nothing interesting is ever going to come from it.

on the other hand, i would like a forum where you could have some more serious discussions, since most everything posted here degenerates into EOT material within seconds. but i guess a serious forum would just be like pouring gasoline on that fire...

if anything, we should be able to flag our own posts with "slightly OT" or "for fun" so that when someone just wants to read the relevant part of a discussion they can hide all those posts with a checkbox.

then again, mapcore is what it is because we dont take it too seriously - this isn't linkedin or "superprofessional behaviour community" - it's like a family reunion of drunken game developers, every day on the internet.

ossum trailer looks great as well!
