Kiadaw 6th Gear April 4, 2013 Author Share April 4, 2013 Thanks all, what to do.. finding job again, recruitment market is really slow.. at least for my specialty.. Games related, were never a profit making business.. At least in Lucasfilm. Purchase and time were invested during the Games making but the revenue from sales, was never even close nor justifiable Disney acquired Lucasfilm to obtain the commercial branding of Starwars, in US. These merchandise were popular, selling and giving huge revenue. Apart from the branding of Starwars, Disney is lacking of talents and branding in ILM (industrial, lights, music) Good luck. There was a time I consider doing 3D character related job, thankfully, I didn't. Now doing 3D character modeling as hobby only. haven't any inspiration for the past 3 months, so nothing new yet. At least I can enjoy what I do, while not worry about job security. Only pity is my work can be seen by so little people, unless I am lucky to have my work feature in a well distributed magazine. But so far happen only once. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVT Supercharged April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 Thanks all, what to do.. finding job again, recruitment market is really slow.. at least for my specialty.. Oh bro, I'm so sorry to hear that. With your special skills, I'm sure you could find a new job easily. In the meantime you should take a break first, go for a road trip perhaps, using the retrenchment money. Relax and re-energize first then start all over again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocus Turbocharged April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 Mobile gaming is slowly eroding the margins of PC games or mainstram medium games, just like PC hw sales are tapering off due to smartphones and tablets that can game Not to forget piracy.. any game out there is within reach of being torrented .. lol That is why I still buy originals from PS3 to PC... I was supporting people by Kurty to keep their jobs...Looks like it's still not enough...haiz. And that not only applies to games, movies and medias too. I purchase movies from my Mio TV and still buy DVD and Blu-rays from local stores and Amazon......people still say I siao....But people don't see the big picture..

Kurty Supercharged April 4, 2013 Share April 4, 2013 What speciality? i been on procurement for the last 8 years.. it's always the wrong industry.. from semi con, to construction then entertainment.. this is the 3rd time i faced retrenchment.. If you are a game developer or artist and still have a passion for the gaming industry - you can try Ubisoft. nope.. no such talent, thanks anyway If I'm not wrong they were busy hiring like a year ago precisely.. i was on 6 months contract agreement whereby they will use this period as probation while obtaining headcount from US.. hence, i feel very cheated but understood their situation Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
