I REALLY like that concept art. Black and gold is win.

reno's was my favourite, like a work of art

Thanks for the insight

I like a lot of variety when working on a game, it's nice to work on a script or some other aspect when I get burnt out on texturing etc. I may be applying to some larger companies with some fairly specialized job requirements for my college co-op program. Will be nice to get some experienced in a larger more controlled environment first-hand. This is a coder position though, not level design.

Hey guys I was looking at the other thread about design and had some questions.

I've never worked in a large company and don't really know how they function. I've done art for smaller ones but because of the size I usually end up being a jack of all trades.

My question is on a game dev team these days what is the level designers responsibility? Do they purely design the level on paper and guide the artists? Do they do grey blocking then pass it off to the artists? Do they handle scripting and level specific programming? I'm quite curious to see how the role is handled these days.

As long as it's doom style I'm happy

So how are you liking Unity overall?

PogoP Looking good, look forward to seeing the final textures

ooh that looks awesome swaty . Congrats on the internship!I've been working on an fps game in unity with a procedural level generator.

Here's some screens:

try it out here:

next thing I plan to do is height variation and elevators, and make some nicer geometry so everything isn't made out of cubes .

Even though everything is looking really crude right now, it's probably the hardest thing I ever put together haha. Still lots of work to do, and a lot of ideas!

Center sprite based v_Weapons FTW!

If valve doesn't block usb keyboard/mouse access to the game then I'm siold. Otherwise I hate playing fps'es witha console controller.

":33ryndab]That's why you should have played it on hard! Anyway, can anyone post new links for the screens? where the fuck are you guys getting this info?

I did play it on hard, it was still easy. I pretty much play everything on hard.

edit: except civilization, that game kicks my ass in the higher levels

I still found fallout really easy. Definitely an improvement over Oblivion but still far too easy for my taste.

difficulty systems in general are fickle. you'd need something dynamic like the AI director from L4D2 to accommodate and tailor the experience to the player's liking. and then that doesn't even take into account the difficulty of minigames, such as stealthing or lockpicking or hacking or whatever.

I should have bought L4D2 when it was on sale. I'm interested to see how that works.

not the first game I ever played but earliest I can remember

They said it's level scaling similar to Fallout 3, rather than Oblivion. It was fine in Fallout.

Hopefully someone makes a good difficulty mod.

I have a lot of schoolwork right now but what the hell? it's 20 brushes, I'm in

halfway through vampire bloodlines and loving it

vampire bloodlines. Some of the best dialog and script in a game I've seen in a long time. Game is worthy of the Troika name.

Hey guys The Ball is on sale for 5$ today. Just bought it

oh really? sweet

That could be what I need to wash the bad KOTOR taste out of my mouth.

congrats man

I was just about to uninstall Crysis, I'll keep it on a little longer for this map

how is Dragons Age compared to Baldurs Gate?

I haven't played much bioware lately. I loved the BG series and hatred KOTOR.
