that speaks to your lack of awareness about game development outside of your (very limited) experience. If you can't think of a dozen reasons the game could have come out how it did aside from 'the developers didn't work hard' and 'the animator was a cosplayer'(??) you don't have much business calling them out.

She was (apparently) in charge of facial animations, and facial animations in that game are literally THE WORST I've seen in years. It doesn't matter if she is a cosplayer, if one of the programmers screwed it up, or if she is white, black, asian, martian or an Egyptian god, it was her job and she must answer to the (fair) criticisms the game is receiving.

If I click on the demo I get a "Page not found" message. Awesome work btw, best of luck with your campaign! Smiley

real talk: bioware or EA managers may have used up inexperienced employees and then thrown them under the bus.

This is way more important to discuss than just talking about a game that none of us here has played yet. Ok, animation may suck, but I'd like to play it before to judge the entire product.

I've always wondered why no one sues those websites (or at least, almost no one). I know that there will always be cracked versions around, but at the moment, illegal software is way too easy to find and download.

Damn I feel like I just found my paradise! :D

Hello everyone folks, this is Riccardo, 26, from Italy, and as many of you here I guess, I am an Indie Programmer and a wannabe AAA programmer! When I was 2 years old I couldn't sleep without my father in the room, and just to keep me company, he moved his old Amiga to my room. He thought he'd move us closer, which it did, but it also moved me closer to that fantastic machine with noisy floppy drives and lights everywhere! Since then, I've always been an addicted, I have played as semi-pro on ESL (CoD4) and some other flight simulators competitions around Italy, and while I was not practicing, I was giving my soul to Ultima Online, the only MMORPG I've ever enjoyed.

When I started my higher education, I decided to went straight for something I could one day use to make videogames, and i studied Digital Humanities. I just recently graduated with a dissertation about procedural building creation in Unity Editor, and I am now applying for a job all over the world. Meanwhile, I am also trying to enrich my portfolio by building some small games. So far i didn't publish anything, which is the reason why I joined the forum. I want to have a small corner, like a virtual garage, where I can build my stuff and show them to people who understand how struggling it is, I got really frustrated when I showed my dissertation to my parents, over 6.000 lines of optimized wonderful code and just a "it's nice" in return. I have also joined other forums recently, but I've had the impression that they are just built to self-promote stuff, and it's not what I am looking for. Just by looking at the forum version here I feel like home, the old fashioned bulletin boards and emoji, no fast reply, simple graphics, I do really love how this place appears, and I hope I will soon be able to join most of the discussions :D

Beside the programming part, in my free time I also play medieval sword fighting (also known as HMB). Basically, i dress up like an old medieval knight, with full armor and plate, and I start hitting people with axes :D I am almost 2m (6.6") tall, and definitely not a lightweight, which makes it even funnier! I also love to travel, I've spent one year living in London and one living in Taipei, and I am currently preparing my next adventure, the Mongol Rally!



It should be all, for now! Tongue
