evidently you can change a map's layout so that you correct flaws before they become visible. sure there are flow flaws that later become obvious when testing, but we're not talking about those now; it's just what you can do within the layout.

i also realized i didnt comment on the images, which i think for the most are hard to tell what is "above" and "below" and that is confusing me. what i usually do is a topographic view of the level so that you can easy tell what is where and how. for the rest of the article, you could also elaborate much more on how a multiplayer/singleplayer design is made in the first place (and comment on the evolution of that).

Work visas for the games industry are virtually non-existent right now, and they've changed things recently to make it even more difficult. One guy from Raven basically got deported back to Canada when they shifted things over, though he's far more successful now as a contract artist so that worked out for him If you can't prove that you can't find that person's equivalent in the US, it's basically not going to happen. :\ Not to say it's not worth trying if you're wanting to work in the US job market, but be prepared for disappointment.

wow. just wow. i didnt realize they would actually sink that low. this actually means people WILL have to get green cards regardless of whether or not they have a job. i... am speechless.

It's hard to fix flaws when they're such a big part of the map though.

I've fixed the last image now. No idea why it wasn't linked.

my point was that you fix flaws before they become part of the map, so that they won't be put in the layout in the first place.

i hate to bring up fallout 3 again (because of the crescendo following such hot topic), but i would like to know if anyone knows where to find the fallout 3 score; as in the one you hear at the end of the trailer (and the one that played on the website http://fallout.bethsoft.com before they remade it)?

i'd be most happy if someone had a clue/hint. thanks in advance

environment wise, i dont think any arabic houses (save maybe the elite) have gardens on their roof.

yeah getting an apartment at this time in copenhagen is not possible, what with all the academic people coming in. i am really glad i have my own place close to uni (which is at islands brygge, for those curious) so i can bike there every day.

well yeah but alot of people want to move to the us without jobs, thats why green cards are of such high value right now. if you got a job in the us before moving there, things are different: you can get a working visa instead.

i dont know about you, but i correct early design flaws before they exist by simply doing very basic sketches of gameplay (ie lines from both spawns to a middle point). even if i dont make one of these, i would never make a layout (let alone a map) so that the flow doesnt fit. my mind just instantly corrects the flaws as they occur.

cube 1 & 2! (innovative traps)

rick is awesome when you talk to him over vent.

got accepted into a great uni on a bachelor line in software development, now "serving time". great people there, really happy about it (34 guys vs 6 chicks, all looking decent). got a new computer the other day, so i guess things are pretty cool.

all i need is a job that compliments my studies and it would be pretty perfect. i could go into details about trivial anecdotes, but i figured this is just as proper knowledge of my existance.

hope it gets better for you guys having a bad time atm.

funny you're asking this. i just had a chat with one of my fellow uni goers, and she said that for her bachelor she did a mobile treasure hunt game, in which you had to find "objects" (i.e. markers) in the real world using a cellphone with a gps chip. the idea was to motivate kids to enjoy exercising more.

I've actually not tested them in other views, and can't at the moment (in the process of upgrading teh pc, sitting on laptop), but there is no icon for the .vtf files, nor is there anything showing in the details display bar. I am using XP.

as for the frustrational matter: it's not like I did a point and laugh, I merely pointed out a problem before it occured. if I were you, I would probably have looked out for that issue from the moment I heard about it, but I guess we do things differently. point in case: I didn't deserve a yelling for pointing out something before it happened. no hard feelings, just letting you know.

the thing is, they dont show up for me in the detail view. that's what's bothering me

dude i just told you what i heard. no need to get angry at me for that. i'd still also like if you could tell me whether or not this works in other window modes than 'pictures' or 'large icons'. i mostly use 'overview' modes for folders, and nothing shows up as an example (the " marks are because i use a danish version of windows, and i have no idea what the proper english/other translation is).

looks alright, i kinda wish they would show more of what the relation between the characters is and the tension, but it sounds pretty original from all other games on the market. are you allowed to say when it's supposed to be released?

oh and also, the music at the very end... does anyone know this?

for once i have to agree with you, gorion. as unethical as it seems, i think that would be brilliant to put in a game. then add brutality and truth instead of bias for immersion and you'd have a excellent game.

for those of you who've played god of war, you will know that the game presents a very plausible environment for the given era. you get it all - blood, sexual themes, etc. while at first i got offended by this, i later saw that it gives a more natural point of view than i've ever seen; it just seemed proper.

my point is: if we want games with realism, we need a realistic environment too. let us see the german side, the polish side etc. make a strategy game where you're hitler and command germany; or play as one of the soldiers. this would get me into ww2 games for sure, among others. the drawback would probably be that nobody would allow for the game to exist, sadly, because so many ww2 veterans/jews/whatever else would get offended.

i have long pondered what would become of ww2 games when mappers run out of ideas. apparently this is what. it's a shame to see talent be washed away like this, because a subject is too limited. i cant really put a finger on why i've never liked ww2 games, but if anything, this would do as a reason.

(no offense to the poster; I blame ww2 games)

hm i feel like a prophet right now

Quote from Steppenwolf

For guys this is normal imo but for girls it seems to be a scandinavian thing. I remember when i was in sweden like 10 years ago two girls pissed in front of me and i saw the piss came out of their vaginas, their labias were flatering around from left to right and they smiled at me

someone make this guy president of a country! anyone able to give such detailed description of girls taking leaks at 1-2 meters distance should be given a title immediately
