i was really young when i watched my older brother play this game, but even then watching these "behind the scenes" made me realize i wanted to do work like this

I know the feel.

@MrHoppers002 that still did not change my mind, maybe a couple of games before and working on our 3rd indie game at the moment, hoping to release by the end of the year, it might not be a cake walk, but there is cake at the end of that long walk :D

[@SkeletalRavenArts2]

@MrHoppers002 ouh yes! I won't argue with that!, AAA game dev is brutal, lots of bad management happening behind the scene, even in small indie studios it happens, I worked for sometime for a studio did enough work to fill the gap of 8 people and pay was... let's just say not enough at all, boss gave promises that went nowhere and his horrible management ended up with the studio's closure and us losing everything, now working for my self and we are a small team of 3 doing our own game, am the Lead Artist in the game doing 2D concept as well as 3D assets ready for engine, we just announced our game yesterday :D schedule wise, reasonable hours with proper pay and proper steady progress.

Depends on your boss and management. For some it's a dream for others it's hell.

[@BloodandSoil990]

@@destroyermaker Why in your mind do you think this job would be hell? I would think working in the video game business would be fun.

[@destroyermaker]

@@BloodandSoil990 Because crunch is a thing. Many studios severely overwork their employees. Plenty of articles out there about it.

[@BloodandSoil990]

@@destroyermaker Really? Wow. Seems like it wouldn't be chaotic. Making videos games for a living sounds fun. Now of course I know it's not easy cuz each person has to come up with these all sorts of codes to make this stuff work. Not doubting what you're saying btw

[@destroyermaker]

@@BloodandSoil990 It can be fun but it's a lot of hard work. And at big studios, there are hundreds of millions of dollars on the line (sometimes even billions), and they have to compete with many other studios trying to one up them. Plus, gamers are very demanding. So there's a lot of pressure to get a game out quickly with a lot of content, high production values, etc. and the only way to do that is with overworked employees. A lot of them quit or go indie. The industry really needs to unionize. Left unchecked, any competitive industry will turn out this way.

Hi Ed Boon You can launch the Program on the Internet to modify the Mk Armagedoon? In The Kreate of Figther Part are there half the powers there is Jax's Weapon / Smoke's Shurikens Lui Kang's Nunchako, the Gun of Kurtis Striker, the Knives of Kano, the Boomerang of Jade, the power of Sub Zero to the ground and the rest of the powers. There is only half of them. Then if the Code Brekers work with version 9.2 Mugens do not leave the Mk Armgedoon but the Iso of Ps2, not from Mk Trilogy, based to trilogy for PC
