    Man oh man. Really sorry to hear. :( :( :(

    As Zeus said, he is a lucky cat to have you guys. Give him a hug for me.

     

    edit: the sad face emoticon on this forum is awful

    Classy! He sounds like a truly pathetic man. I bet it's just as difficult to get fired from a university job in the Netherlands as it is in the UK.

    probably! I'm in Australia though :P

    Of course, this doesn't have any relevance to day-to-day sexual harassment in the workplace. I don't know the scope of that problem in the games industry or indeed any other industry for that matter, including my own (web app development). It's a much dicier area, but then my current colleague courted and is now marrying a girl he worked with. How often is perceived sexual harassment flirting that was taken the wrong way, I wonder?

    i feel like it's almost impossible for that to happen. if someone's attempts at flirtation are taken as sexual harassment, they are definitely flirting wrong.

    woke up today to someone mocking my (obvs legit) claim to be running a game dev company on facebook. turns out it's one of my tutors from when i was in RMIT university's game dev course for a semester and a half. known to me mainly for trying to be my friend because I knew Gabe Newell, then turning weirdly hostile and marking me down on an assignment and accusing me of plagiarism, and then after I left I saw him ecstatically praising himself for getting on Kotaku for harassing Bioware's Jennifer Hepler. so basically my twitter is hilarious today and I've had a fun morning.

     

    it also turns out he hasn't been fired from that uni somehow

    today I totally set up my object-using system in UE4 so that when i mouseover a usable object, i get a little hand icon indicating that i can use the thing, and if i use it i get a camera-facing text popup on the object describing it, and if i use it again i get a different, shorter description because my character doesn't like repeating long phrases in his inner monologue

     

    yaaaay

    Ah. Posted part of this on the 'Amateur Game Making Night' thread, but this seems the proper place to put it.

     

    I make music and would enjoy making some for your game. Here's my SoundCloud so you can get a sample of what I do: https://soundcloud.com/xarhini

     

    Currently have a lot of time on my hands, so don't be afraid to ask!

    Some of this stuff is really pretty cool. Hella bookmarked.

    I don't really use words like alpha or beta, I just say "it's not done" if it's not, because it bugs me how nebulous those words are.

     

    There's a good HL2 mod that describes itself as being in Omega, which I guess is before Alpha, but it's kind of just a device to make sure your expectations aren't super high going in
