@Helder Pinto Been playing this a lot the past few days, really excellent, city area seems a little sniper heavy, I know you can flank, but when shit kicks off on the point it's easy to be a target. I'm having a blast as always. Love the futuristic stage, the cover that pops up is pretty interesting, happy to see you guys experimenting more with dynamic environments, pretty fun with Moira  Love the idea of the fastest route to the point being the most dangerous (the small chokepoint having to go uphill) nice touches to keep the maps unique.

Visually, I have nothing to say other than, damnnnnn ... all you need now is some giant dominoes in the spawn room. 

Hey guys, just a heads up,  we're looking to hire a senior level designer to work on Fortnite at Epic Games HQ in North Carolina, cheers!

Here's her origins video, <3 Brigitte:

 

Torbspawn!  Shield tank confirmed? Looking forward to play her either way, another tank is gewd. 

It's soooo good, must be one of my fav maps ever, so creative! 

hehe, if we got paid what other people in the tech industry get on average, this chart would be off the scale. some wise words here for sure, doing things procedural no matter your area is certainly wise, if nothing else it's a blast to figure out, but everything has it's limits,  just need to figure out the pros and cons. Whats interesting recently, is the biggest games are pretty limited in scope, which is actually smart in it's own right, especially as costs keep going up. I guess, what blows my mind, is how much gamers expect, for say, $30, in a bar, that's a couple of beers and a pizza, maybe 2-3 hours of entertainment, yet games are somewhat expected to last forever, for such value? I'm certainly not advocating we make games $200, but it always fascinates me. Maybe the real issue here is eating/drinking out is too damn expensive!  

I've been on some mod teams run by 15 year olds, it can work, but the multiple projects parts basically reads as you don't really have a vision at all. Which is actually fine, if it's just yourself. Getting people interested and involved, especially the ones with actual talent, is a lot of work, especially when it's for free. Hell, even with my 15 or so years experience I'd probably struggle to get a talented team together. Rules are certainly made to be broken, but the advise here is golden and you're more likely to succeed following it than not, if you care about maximizing your chances. 

• Save for my adventure
• Make a game all by myself, mostly for shits and giggles, but I'll learn a lot
• Get a little fitter, I'm not in bad shape but can always improve

Made my morning, man! Iceland is just absolutely stunning. What gear did you use for filming?

• mavic pro drone
• sony a6500 with 16-35mm
• sony a7rII with 24-70mm gm and 70-300mm g
• sony rx100IV
• sony fdx3000
• pilotfly h2 gimbal

and 3000 other small things  

hehe thx, I added a short eye candy video for those who don't want to hear me waffle on about rocks for 45 mins, in glorious 4k too!

If it's non profit, I doubt it. Many, many people do it, never heard of it being a legal issue. 

Too early to say, but my plan was to always go on a crazy adventure before I hit 35, shit starts getting real then. Lets just say if I do it, I'll be finding ways to potentially further my hobby, but making games is fun.

Awesome, the trailer popped up on my yt homepage as well. Can't wait.

I used to have documentary night when I was young with my parents, just with the Italian equivalent of Sir David.

Last year I watched Planet Earth 2 and Frozen Planet, and they threw my compass off... I mean I was suffering, I was feeling physical and mental pain, like my stomach would contract and I would feel super excited and sad at the same time: they make me feel to just travel, like I always wanted to do. Seriously questioning to drop everything, job, girlfriend... to just go.

I'm intending to drop it all and travel, but I'm planning for it 2 years in advance so I actually make the most of my time and money. It's a serious effort, at least for what I'm planning. That being said, who knows what I'll do in 2 years lol. 

nice nice 

Another one from Iceland ^^ 

Just got back from Iceland, what a place, here are a few pics, more to come.

Without this the game will be nothing, seriously if they don't add this unit they are crazy, Rogan?

Hype is real, this and the Jurassic park game, good times.

Making for some assets for some level design assignments. Not very experienced with particles but damn it's good fun!

Particles are really fun to make, I love doing them. Kind of a secret art form but in reality they are not too hard, unless you want to do insane stuff.

My bad. 40 EUR for an early access game that looks pretty much done and will turn F2P soon.  Anyway, I know how annoying it is for a developer when nobody talks about the game but only the business model. So, just like Erratic, let's talk about the game itself. Anybyody else tried it yet?

I'm not noticing that at all hehe, we're being overwhelmed currently with actual game feedback  

No doubt though, what we've done for this launch is unique and hard to put into conventional buckets, it's a bit of everything, early access, pre order, typical delux editions, on the shelf, digital this, digital that, not going to blame anyone for not understanding, even I'm confused  Still, many people are enjoying it.

More feedback like Erratics would be great!

So I am hearing this can be purchased for 40 EUR now but the game will turn into a F2P game come 2018? Whaaat?
