And the one who got me out of game dev and into a job in SE, and then plan to go back in game dev in a few years when I am financially stable.
game dev should be a hobby. if you make a reputation, then try making yourself an indy studio
Lol, I was gonna work with a larger company
no, no no no no no no
Then I learnt the reality of it and decided to do proper software
well, unless you like sleeping in a studio and getting fired at the end of the project and rehired later
Nah, it wasnt the case, Like I siad, it was one specific company
i followed the same route "maybe i could do game design *does research* maybe i'll just do normal SE and make games as a hobby"
When that didnt work out, I kept in touch with the lead dev who was a really cool guy in general.
Nah I am in your situation, Ill do it as a hobby
don't think i could work for a large game company. too many potential head people, too abstracted from the project, trying to maximize profits
Yeah, kinda why after Tencent bought a majority I got worried
Though after I heard about the other companies so I am less worried
Now I am worried people will stop buying stuff from them now that they think the company already made it big
what? grinding gear?
or riot?
or uh
none, ok
honestly if you want to work in games, imo the most stable option (relatively speaking) is to work in co-development or outsourcing. games get bigger every year and it's a much better choice to work at a place where your employment isn't dependent on how well a game sells, but only the fact that another company needs your company to help make it.
friggin outsourcing
the fact that's caught on so much really annoys me
yeah, it's been a thing for years and it's here to stay
luckily on the art side of things, within games and film the outsourcing often goes to western companies since they have the best talent
however really big companies like ubisoft and EA have shanghai studios that they use in addition to outside firms
they own their own outsourcing lmao
it also sucks that if you want to work on AAA games in the US, you are pretty much forced to live in either LA or Seattle. there are very few studios outside of those.
twitter be died
?
Yeah, only recently GGG wanted to increase their numbers
Doubt ill make the cut
my video calling out tommy robinson was just removed for ToS violations
I cant livestream until its resolved
what violation?
That's absurd.
In other news
"It is unclear whether her alleged abusers ever faced disciplinary action, but Ms Fitzpatrick herself is facing a hearing from her employers at the end of May, over accusations she was rude to clients and “overzealous” in her job. "
so, did guys actually tie her up? or is she annoyed she is under investigation, and is lashing out?
Follow up to earlier story.
I have no idea tbh.
