task 15

It kinda looks like i missed a load of tasks but its actually the week 15 task and not 12 or something.


The game industry is constantly changing, at the moment we see big companies with thousands of employees releasing games, a lot of the work is outsourced to countries where labour costs are a lot lower.
Many people seem to think that the outsourcing will cause difficulty in getting in the industry, it probably will at first, but cheaper artists are no replacement for actual talent and motivation, i think that as games get bigger a lot of the generic objects (tree, wheeliebin,terracedhouse.) will be outsourced oversea's and the bigger, more challenging objects will be undertaken by game artists in country.
I also believe that smaller team led studios will be more popular as a teams vision could be created with the help of outsourcing, Some mod teams are starting to release games you pay for, The ship, Sin episodes, Portal, Red orchesra. are all games created by mod teams who moved on to bigger projects as the original mod gave them some experience.
