Breaking Into the Gaming Business at Ten Ton Hammer
Medeor Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:40:57 -0400
What does it take to break into the gaming industry? We all want to do it (most of us anyway), but how does someone sitting in a classroom learning about world history find that big break to get into the gaming business? The gaming industry is a $10 billion business, shouldn't there be enough to go around? Alas, as Boomjack says there are ten million people standing in line to get their potential shot at credits on a game. How do people get jobs in the industry? The fledgling gaming schools and departments in some major colleges are finally starting to gain some traction according to a recent article in Newsweek. The article does include some history of people trying to get cool jobs, so you can even say you are learning something. The article discusses how the first "cool" jobs was writing novels and then it became Hollywood stars, now it's video games. While I would argue that gaming superstars aren't in the same league as Hollywood stars (yet?), it does provide a nice parallel. Here is how one group did get hired (and I like the fact that Valve is a game shop): "One game shop that grasps the innovative potential of college-trained developers is Seattle's Valve Software, creators of such hit franchises as Half-Life and Counter-Strike. Following a job fair at nearby DigiPen—a university founded in 1988 that's dedicated to game design and production—some Valve employees invited the seven students behind a game called Narbacular Drop to give a demonstration to company founder Gabe Newell. He hired the team on the spot." I've attended a final project day for a gaming college to review the projects of a group of soon-to-be graduates. It was impressive to see what the graduates had completed, but I didn't get the feeling that gaming execs were beating down their doors with job offers. From the conferences and discussions I've had with developers, the gaming business still appears to be a system where you start at the bottom and work up. While it may not be the minor leagues for the gaming business yet, it may be in the future. Have you attended one of these colleges and had success (or not), do you think it is the "best" or just "one of" the ways to get into the gaming business? Let's discuss.

Screenshot of the Week: at Ten Ton Hammer
Taea Thu, 28 Aug 2008 10:06:27 -0400
There's always something new to see in Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa. Long time players will remember the old Boot Camp tutorial, with it's open air control point scenario. Just recently redesigned, the new Boot Camp is set up in a more secure cavern, with a pistol range, better facilities and Full Metal Jacket-esque Drill Instructor. This week's Screenshot of the Week is a shot inside this new map, featuring the comforting glow of an Eloh Hologram to watch over the new recruits. In this week's screenshot, a new AFS recruit heads out on his first mission after a training in the new bootcamp. As he leaves to retake the AFS base from the Bane, he passes an Eloh hologram which tells him of his destiny as a receptive. Screenshot of the Week

WAR: Dungeons - Lost Vale at Ten Ton Hammer
RadarX Thu, 28 Aug 2008 09:45:59 -0400
We frequently hear of challenging scenarios or the blood stained battlefields throughout Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning, but what of the dungeons which make up a staple of the MMOG? Mythic Entertainment shares in this months newsletter the Lost Vale, a six player instance to fight against beastmen and dryads to discover the Everqueen's fate. Join us as we examine the first hand account of Raelle Mournfire, who tells of the horrors you'll face. The Dryad rolled upon its back. It did not reply, glaring at me with such loathing that I was forced to take a step away. Sap continued to pulse from the dryad's wound in a thick, ceaseless torrent. The creature's eyes lost their angry glare just as its wound ceased to bleed. I watched helplessly, my weapon shaking in my hand. I felt that I had somehow betrayed the land, but what else could I have done? Dungeons - Lost Vale
