I think your idea would fit in a class very well. I agree, we pretty much have the same idea.

I was posed this question this week in my Digital Design Aesthetics class. As a game design major it's something I think of often, but being prompted this question in an academic environment led me to boil it down to one small statement. I'd like to hear your ideas on this, since you guys are...

Guns, because I know how to use them, and whether or not I win, it'll be over relatively fast.

I make friends because I like people. I start to feel a little crazy when I'm alone for too long without a good reason to be solitary. Plus, drinking is a lot more fun with friends.

In college, living half way across the country away from my parents, in an apartment with my girlfriend, and ever going back.

Just outta curiosity, what don't you like about it?

Heh, I'm a huge fan on flea, its like mandatory if your into slap bass, and Larry Graham of coarse.

I was curious how important people though bass, as in bass guitar, was in music. I play bass, and I've had a lot of stabs taken at me from friends and roommates telling me that 'bassists don't matter', or 'no one listens to the song for bass'. While I know this isn't true, I was curious as to...

Listen to this guy. This is what I would have said, if I had though about what you were asking for more than five seconds.

Thats a big plus, I love the grand campaigns, and I'm not sure how well something like total war would work as a story driven game. edit: What do you think about all the DLC for Empire by the way?

I'd love to help, but its hard to get a grasp on what your trying to do by reading a shot paragraph. If you could post a few tumbnails for me to look at, I'd be more than happy to help. (Man, I'm such an art student....)

So this is a little bit off topic, but I cant think of a better place to ask this. So, I've played every total war game except Empire and Napoleon,right now I'm playing Shogun 2 but I'm getting a little tired of looking at samurai, so which of those two would you recommend and why?

I figured practical skills were a given. When I said 'test' I was referring to the second step in the hiring process after the application and portfolio review. If they like what they see, studios will generally give you a little assignment, along the line of 'make a level that does (X), is...

The real thing about it is if the school you go to has connections. That's pretty much all that matters. I know for a fact I could ask several of my professors to phone a friend in a few big studios and ask if I can take a swing at a design test, or an art test, or at the very least have...

I think the real problem is a lack of focus. Trying to make a game cinematic, exciting, have a great story, lots of explosions, cool guns, tits, major gore, ect ect ect, is just too much. A lack of focus always shows, no matter what you do, so I think just trying to focus one one or two...
