Do I focus on environment art, level design, or both?
Erratic replied to kinggambit's topic in Level Design
Everything feeds into everything else. Learning how to make assets for your level will invariably make you a better level designer. Learning how to code will invariably make you a better designer. If someone doesn't hire you because you're also good at other things they should probably go get fucked. No one is ever less useful because they have a more thorough understanding of the development process. Mostly what they're probably looking for with hiring though is clarity in your desired position. Target a position and build a portfolio for that but get good at whatever the fuck you can. -
This 'game is good with friends' shit has to go. That's not a reasonable crutch for a games shortcomings. Everything is perceived as more fun when you are around people with the intention of enjoying yourself, even if the game is shit. If your game supports a single player mode and it's uninteresting and boring it's exactly that. Those factors are not elevated because someone else is present. Outside the core combat there just isn't much to the game. And it was done better in halo with the benefit of a linearly constructed experience instead of respawning mobs and defense sections. Also I think some people are conflating story and world. The game has no real story, which is fine, aside from the few cutscenes with characters being dumb as fuck. The bigger issue should be the lack of world building which this kinda open, under designed, repeat mission structure would be able to support. The environments themselves don't have much of a backstory or anything to discover by revisiting them. Not much is told through the missions that are there. There's just nothing to grab onto of interest in these locations. And it's not an emergent or systemic sorta game where you can loftily proclaim player story as an excuse for not building context into your world. Walk around Fallout 3 for 5 minutes. You're fucking tripping over context and narrative in that game. Different games but it's a solid reference point for how this shit is done.

probably my most played game. rip rts

I think after I heard Tarantino did some uncredited dialogue rewrites it makes a lot more sense why the movie is still so watchable. When I think back to it, it's not a great action movie really, but it's got a bunch of good lines in there said by actors playing their parts well. And since it's a michael bay movie everything moves along pretty quickly and it all just kind of works itself out, somehow.

Playing Resogun, the one game the PS4 has. Who ships a console with just a single game, strange move by Sony. It's really good. Better than Startdust I think which I didn't dig all that much.
-
Lots of bad shit getting played in here, right on.
-
taylor still making everyone look like mainstream scum. Play Nosgoth you fucks.

Just having the experience of being able to compare one creative job with another is a pretty good problem to have. I'm not trying to take the piss I just really wanted to make that 4A joke to be honest.
-
lol goddam these jobs are too comfy to complain about and I don't even know what other jobs are like thats how first world I am. Unless you work for 4A making games in an ex-ussr internment camp basement gulag with wild dogs roaming your workspace or something.
-
People should play Nosgoth but they won't and it will fail because it's based on the Legacy of Kain franchise for some fucking reason so no ones really paying attention to it but it's probably one of the best mp games out there. Well balanced and fun but who cares when there's 8 derivatives of dota to be played right
-
So how is the PS4 not just a fucking PC at this point, minus Skype and maya or whatever we use desktops for
-
Woha now GO sucks so that opinion seems pretty valid to me, up voted +1 like friend me on facebook maybe we can hang out do you like mvoies
-
I don't know, I think when dux and I are on the same page something is definitely fucked. I didn't even mind source all that much, played it a considerable amount though nothing close to the original. Seemed like physics barrels were enough to throw people into a tizzy with that one. So I don't think it's a case of longing for the glory days.

I could never really got into GO, so I booted up 1.6 in I don't know how long to figure out wtf is up. Thing's have definitely been lost along the way. I don't if it's just a combination of map scale (player models feel a lot larger in 1.6) + recoil patterns + damage values or what but 1.6 is still top tier. Compared to recent versions it seems a lot less reliant on random as fuck headshots and more about position/map knowledge above all else, since bullets go where you're actually aiming. TTK in GO is fucking microseconds compared to this thing and I think the game is worse for it. 1.6 is just a far more playable game and it's not afraid to actually adjust your screen based on recoil. GO's screen recoil is so minimal I have no feedback as to where the fuck my bullets are going. And is there even a jump penalty in GO, I can't feel it. 1.6 still king. No wonder I spent my entire fucking teenage life playing that game.

Just starting replaying a few missions for fun on death incarnate. I booted up the asylum level and it took me 3 minutes to get to Anya outside and end the level. Incredible looking level, fun little layout for what's there, and it took me 3 minutes. This is the shit that breaks my heart. Should have been like a 5 story death stroll down to the bottom into the courtyard but it probably wouldn't fit in memory on 360 or some shit so fuck it, some cut scene and 3 min gun fight. AAA development fuck yeah. I mean I'm not even criticizing the game, I've made shit for games with the same problem, large scope level in your stupid head, ultimately end up chopping that shit into 4 chunks so the console doesn't crash the fuck out and you end up with a less than ideal disjointed level flow. Then you play dota for 10 hours a day to ease the pain.

true lies, predator, terminator, the only seriously good thing about hollywood is Arnold basically

I thought this was a new thread about their movies in general but it's just about the terrible recent shit. Now I have to go watch tango and cash for a good rocky movie

Gameplay is very good in the last of us. Don't mix it up with uncharted as the mediocre gameplay/good story cut scene game also play on Hard you little bitches. Don't be that dude who plays Halo on Normal and wonders why the game is boring. Some games actually design with difficulty levels in mind.
-
oh yeah you have to be pretty much suicidal to want to go up against the mindshare of dota and LoL. Even if you have a good game it doesn't really matter at this point.

I have no idea what you just said.

everything is faster than source
