- The general look and feel of the actual webpage is pretty dull. It could definitely be improved.

- I would seriously downplay all form of text, charts, graphs, illustrations as part of your main presentation. Have a brief description of a project and use photos and videos instead. You can link to an article on a separate page that details your process/workflow/project history etc.

- Keep the first impression in mind. Not all screens on the start page look that great TBH.

- Only present your best work. Or at least emphasize your best work more. My very shallow impression is that OWC_Traverse is nowhere near Station 51 in terms of quality for example.

Well, we decide the goals, motivations and personality of our characters on our own (mostly anyway). But we jointly decide the state of the world and coordinate when (and if!!! ) the characters cross paths. Oh, and of course we have a very broad story arc for the blog as a whole.

We can only conclude that all BF-games since BF2 are consolised and rushed piles of shit that were brought to you by the greedy fucks at DICE.

double-word! and the advantage of a 2142 setting is that you can use the sci-fi setting to introduce mechanics that would feel unrealistic in a contemporary setting.

Yeah Thrik, it's 100% fictional. Don't worry, we won't travel anywhere in-character. Any photos in the blog are either from my or Dejavo's archive or from free-to-use sources. They are used to let the eyes rest in between posts and to help sell the mood.

I'll update the thread whenever we have news to share!

Sooo... yeah...

I should prolly post some tits right about now...

October 2013 here we go.

Metro and Dear Esther! Grab 'em if you don't have 'em!

Hello MapCore!

I've just started a blog together with my fellow Mapcorian and long time bro Dejavo. The blog will chronicle a series of events from the perspectives of two different characters (we are responsible for a character each). There's two posts up already and our goal is to update the blog at least once a week.

Check it out and let us know what you think. The goal of the blog is to hone our writing and storytelling skills, so feedback is very welcome.

The Way Through

Btw, if someone wants a discount of 70 euro on your gdc pass, send me a pm.

There we go! Grabbed The Walking Dead.

BTW, I am I the only one who feels like a greedy fuck when you press "Purchase for myself".

What the other guy said about what the other guy said!

If anyone has tips on how to use alpha transparency for foliage in source it would be kool.

yeah very nice work!

Arkham City deal ends in 9 hours. 9,51€ is a really good price point.

Personally, I really hated LA Noire, so watch out with that one (it's currently the community's choice).

On a sidenote, there still hasn't been a game which I'm interested in that I don't have.

A-HA!!! THE GAME AT THE BOTTOM IS WRONG!!! :cop: :cop:

THEREFORE, THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION IS THAT ORIGIN WINS BY DEFAULT!!!! MWAHAHAHAH!!!

New batch of deals up! I recommend Frozen Synapse!

I still haven't bought a single game from the sale.

If you are remotely interested in 40K, I can only recommend Space Marine. It was actually surprisingly fun. Can't go wrong for 5 euros.

I'm not a huge fan of adventure games, but Walking Dead looks kinda appealing. Any mapcore opinions on it?

Quote from Pampers

and mw2 had the last good mp.

I heard that he is only making the main theme. Perhaps someone knows more about this?

And yeah Marvin, MW1 was great. The last great CoD-game.
