/r/KotakulnAction commentsrelated ↑ 232 Long Indie-Dev Post: why I'm Pro-GG (selfKotakulnAction) submitted 7 hours ago by savionen Nepotism and Failures of the Industry: I went to an art school to study concept art. I wasn't the best, but I was the hardest working kid in the class. I was the anti-social one, left to my own devices. Even in art school there are cliques. It was the pretty girls, and the more jock-ish guys (yes even at an art school). Anyway, an opportunity arose for an internship at a AAA company. It took months of conversation back and forth. Eventually the guy ot fired for corrupti I laziness, but they would ern, because they wanted to clean house. After that experience I got ready for my portfolio show, and a nearby AAA came to see me. (Hilariously this company is one of the hu ti-GG ones, it rhymes with Eargox)I was thrilled. They told me to sit tight, the project was starting but I wasn't needed yet. Days turned into weeks, into months. They eventually would no longer take my calls, and HR stopped responding to emails. A few weeks laterI heard through the grapevine what happened. The art director hired a friend, but didn't have the decency to tell me I was eventually hired by a smaller game company. It had roughly 20-30 people employed. I was extremely excited, and interestingly enough 3/4 of my bosses were women. I had a female art director (who could kick my ass in art any day of the week), a female producer, and a female art team lead. I was excited to be there, things were great for awhile Along with myself, the other recent hire was the wife of a prominent AAA 3D modeler. She had no experience (she had to learn Maya from scratch), and was only hired due to her connections. She brought the entire team down. She was unwilling to learn. My art director hated her and they routinely butted heads, but the director couldn't get rid of her because of her status. She would go on vacations during crunches and would take 2 hour coffee breaks. It was terrible, not only for work not being done, but morale. There were nights we'd end up sitting at work at 3 AM because our team was short staffed. Eventually she was let go. My art director and I pushed hard for it. I was eventually moved to a new project, an FPS tech demo. The project lead was an ex-iD 3D modeler, we disliked each other, he was good friends with the girl above. It turned out he had the same sort of relationship with the boss. He was quite experienced, but was unwilling to do much. Whenever I went into his office he'd be watching Dane Cook or some other comedy stand-up. In a given week he only did about 15 hours of work, he blamed issues on the rest of the team. I was up up for a raise before this project, but was eventually laid off at his request, and the company folded about 6 months later due to financial issues...

Anti-GG types called her a w----, a slut that only wanted men's attention, a princess, a 'white male in disguise'. Told she actually hates women, and that she was a disgusting human being. We were both de Game', a game about a young girl with depression. It didn't matter that we're both socially progressive. The only thing that mattered was towing the line. To push the hypocrisy even further, she was not the only woman that worked on 'Game'. There were two others, one of whom handled game testing. 'Game' was her first game-dev related job, she put it on her resume, and we helped her 'break into the industry, as a full-time artist in St. Louis.
