If you know studio max 9, then why not start doing graphics for games? cgtalk.com is a fine site which you might be interested. Our artists use various tools... I suppose max, photoshop, blender, and quite likely some others as well. What should you do with your future? You are the only one who can answer that. What would you want to do?

I was looking to get into the career of game producing. I am familiar with studio max 9, and some other mini programs. I wanted to know what program you guys use. And if you have any suggestions on what i should do with my future. So i see your making a game.. I was looking to get into the career of game producing.

Turnbased can certainly be challenging, but it is also a lot slower. The old game Warlords (http://www.abandonia.com/games/554/Warlords2) was one of the first multiplayer games I played, and I loved it. I highly prefer fantasy theme over realism because, 1. It is impossible to create perfectly realistic graphics, 2. The closer the graphics get to perfection the more closely they are criticised 3. Highly realistic graphics are not very beautiful. The realistic graphics are usually dull, drab and not very fun to look at. There are some exception however. Wings of War (http://www.godgames.com/wingsofwar/) graphics are an excellent blend of realism and nice colors. There's my 2.5 cents :D I prefer RTS games over turn-based, but I love both. :D

I think we'll investigate this realism vs fantasy more in the future. I think we go with the fantasy here. We'll investigate. @Arex: :)

Maybe a tough crowd to please... While we're on the subject of DVD's, 'Azumi' or 'Azumi 2' might be good research for your game :) Looks like the target audience for this kind of game is very picky about historical accuracy and believability!!!

I think it's more like "flying dragons, spells... and mixed fantasy elements in the other part". Btw - just bought 2 DVDs: Drunken master (Jackie Chan) and Hero. Gotta watch them soon...

I must tell you that I have read a lot eastern (about chinese and japanese) books (mostly about buddhism, zen, and different martial arts: aikido, Sun Tzu etc.) and the chinese language course was a nice introduction to chinese culture (food, habits, etc.). I have some basic knowledge about the japanese language. I haven't seen many movies - but some yes. Oh, Clint Eastwood spaghetti westerns are good 'japanese' movies (they are directly influenced by Akira Kurosawa) ;) Anyway... the only problem with realism here is that the core gameplay is quite free from any thematic approach - and the scenery Jams describes is quite difficult to fit in the game. Oh well, votes go: Realism: 2 Fantasy: 0 Realism got 2 points.

You'll find A LOT of scenaristic and aesthetic ideas there :) .... Avoid anime at all cost :) If you want to take a good start : watch several japanese movies, any type actually not only chambara.
