In Response To: Re: An open discussion about petetheduck (sharpsniper99) : On a career level, its a pretty bad idea. People might be willing to throw : money at you, but what happens in two years when your not into Halo : anymore? Or Halo radically changes? Or people stop throwing money at you? : Would be real hard to pick yourself up and recover if your 'work' for the : last two years is nothing more than fan made Halo content. Thats going to : be tough to explain in job interviews. : Thats the boring real life look at things. Thats pretty situational though : and may not even be something you need to worry about. : I would argue, that with all the people willing to produce Halo content for : free, how would you elevate the stuff you do? There are some pretty : talented people like Levi out there who would be doing what your doing, : without a salary. It would be hard to justify the money if the content : isn't brilliant. Just wanted to post again, saying how much the situation sucks though. I really hope you can bounce back from the work thing and get something going. I gave my slightly negative view, but I think its worth mentioning that I also think that if you manage to get a good business model going you could potentially make it work. Im not quite in the same situation as you, but I have just taken on a pretty demanding job, Halo time is certainly going to be scarce going forward. :(
