Who here MAKES games?

[ankalar]

Does anybody here work in the gaming industry and/or on mods? Now with Half Life 2 out the mod team I'm working on will be kicking it into high gear, and I was just wondering if any of you guys help make games.

I guess you could call me a 3D Artist. Anybody here play Counter-Strike with custom weapon models? Chances are you have something from me in your models directory.

Here's an example of something I've done:

I want to make a mod, but I suck at every possible job. I might learn how to map or somethign once I get a decent pc.

ankalar[at]earthlink.net is my e-mail.

I'm always on AIM, which is much easier to communicate with. My screenname is 'how to internet'

Where are you attending?

[Ramsey]

Thanks, i will add you to my aim buddy list soon.


I will be (not yet) attending the Tampa Art Institute. I don't know if you keep up with EGM, but its the third in Game Design programs. Its a four year program. But its no programming, its only art and storyboards (something, say, Hideo Kojima would do).


I wanted to attend Full Sail, but I'm terrible at math, and I don't have 60 grand. Full Sail is an excellent school.

[SaturnineSickness]

im going to the tampa institute of design and technology
getting a BA in Computer animation and plan on making video games a career

Wow.

Is that your actual job? Or just a hobby?

Wow.

[icebase]

Yo thread starter man what did you use to create that caus its bloody brilliant. Fn 2000 aswell. Nice. I made a couple of things myself. mm it was a beretta M92 FS, spas 12 and a nice jucy delta M4A1. yea. now im starting on stuff for counter strike source. Anyone play it yet??

[eric088]

that stuff is sweet. is there a program that i can buy/download so that i can do that kind of stuff?

[ankalar]

Wow.

Is that your actual job? Or just a hobby?

Wow.Well it's more of a hobby right now. I was being looked at by Gearbox to do some contract work on Brothers In Arms, but I was talking to their art director and he said they just fired all their contract workers and were going to stick with just people in-house. Seeing as I'm only 16, it can't really be a full time job for me yet.

Anyone play it yet??I used 3D Studio Max for the modelling and Photoshop for the texture. I haven't played CS:S yet :(

that stuff is sweet. is there a program that i can buy/download so that i can do that kind of stuff?You can either consult Señor Juarez about those programs or buy them for thousands of dollars. :evil:

[EZ!]

wow thats wicked :thumb:

i made some levels for the original UT. had a few hundred downloads and that was it

/claim to fame

[Guitarist25]

I've never made any games but its a career i'm interested in After Highschool I'm going into that.

[Amorpha]

I made a few CS maps a year or two ago, and they were played by a total of probably under 200 people :upset:. I made a couple of Flash games too, but they don't really count. I'm doing Computing AS level at the moment and hope to go into games programming in the future, but I haven't done any projects recently. I'm starting a platformer soon, with a friend who's doing all the graphics.

Here's a screenshot of one of his rough sketches for the game:

but i chose to go to a regular 4 year university and am majoring in computer science with a minor in art. so i hope to get into the video game area as well.

:eek: NO WAY!


Aren't you impressed though? They have AWESOME facilities. One notable thing though, is that they have Dungeons and Dragons creator teaching there! I thought that was great, it shows how dedicated the school is.

[forthepeopleofthesun]

I once programmed a text-based RPG. :(

i fell in love with that place when i was there, but when i went there i don't think they were offering BA's, only associates degrees. now they are. i'd like to go there if i every get my life going and make money post-university.

and also, they have some great recording studios.

[Ramsey]

If you go to their website, they have great videos of games (pun) that the students have made. very impressive. I might really consider going there after Tampa Art Institute, so that I can have an impressive video games portfolio (as to get hired)
