"Before I go on, though, please understand -- calling Fallout 3 one of the most impressive videogames of the year in a season that has already brought us Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV isn't meant to be hyperbole. Even in its unoptimized stage (all the content is there, development is just about polish from now until October), Fallout 3 is still one of the most engaging and playable titles this side of Liberty City... and I've only tested it for about an hour."

I guess we are in a minority. My take on it is that the people who work in the industry and have done for a while, but who still make maps outside of work and are involved in games related projects in their free time as well as professionally, these people (us) are the hardcore. We all have a little bit of the obsessive in us.

That's us, hardcore baby!

I don't get it, wtf?!

If I'm understanding this correctly, you replicated the scene in the first pic, on MR? Wait.. erm, wha? OMFG!!

Truth is, you have to be specialized on something to even get a job in the games industry.

Being a jack-of-all-trades might impress your friends, but it wont impress recruiters, that's why one must have a focused portfolio.

And face it, given how large games are getting on this generation and generations to come, this kind of specialties are a "evil-needed", games are getting so huge, the tasks have to be wisely spreads within the team.

industry seems to swing more towards specialized positions these days.

yes, and that's both good and bad.

Good because, one has the opportunity to specialize in a single area, and since practice makes perfection, odds are that it will do a good job.

On the other hand, it's bound to be a lot more tedious job, since you'll be doing the same for quite some time on that company.

I work on a small company, we're 10 guys atm, and since we are a small team, i get to do a handful of tasks, level design, textures, models, and all the other small tasks like helping out with the in house tools. This is a very enrichful experience. but I admit I would love to work as a full time environment artist on a AAA title... We'll see!

Uuh....congrats?!

ah ah, I guess so!

Ouch...

Actually, that same question crossed my mind not so long ago.

I guess most of them like to lay low, and maybe they don't feel very comfortable on forums or something? I have no idea...

Nevertheless, i know a handful of level designers working in the industry that don't make it a habit of browsing through forums, I guess the "dose" they get at work is more than enough, I suppose! Go figures...
