Alphabyte2: A good game studio like Ea and Santa Monica studio requires millions of dollars. Animators Programmers Sound engineers Mocap tools Voice actors Script writers etc
No secret it requires dedication and hard work by collaboration of teams.
I know..
But we must be encouraged to start small, even those guys started very small.
We have all the tools you listed, except mocap… Which I think is not very expensive..
Nigerians can afford everything listed there, we are just a bit wasteful with money.,
For eg, we prefer building mansions for bragging rights in our villages first, instead of investing wisely.
Birdbyrde440: Honestly, if not for air support, Hamas will slaughter every single Israeli soldier in Gaza and West Bank. This has been Israel greatest fear and is the reason for the killing of innocent civilians in Gaza. The Palestinians have been trained from birth to purposefully hate Israel, they taught their children to hate Israel and be ready to strap a suicide vest to kill Jews if need be and I strongly believe that this war is still at its very early stage... 1/10 complete.
The other day I said they borrowing huge amount of money to build these trains is just waste of money for a country like Nigeria they came for me.
The truth of the matter is that Infrastructure alone do not build a country. And when you want to build infrastructure,it must be infrastructure that pulls the people out of poverty. Now debt servicing alone exceeds 1200. Haba
Obasanjo did not take one single loan to fix telecommunications and the banking sector yet none of APC so called infrastructure makes 10 percent of what we get from those two. Those two sectors changed our lives completely
The funniest part of it is that, about 95 percent of Nigerians living in the Lagos/Ibadan axis won't board that train till they die.
The APC is like that Man that his children are going hungry and he couldn't even pay their school fees,but he tells them to chill that they should not worry that he is building a 15 storey building. . Maybe na House them go chop.
E.G. Aregbesola that took all humugous loans building white elephant projects and left the people of Osun in poverty and misery
/* This is how we know people that don't read and comprehend a thread response and just jump in.
If you are in position of authority why not you drop your contribution as well, it does no harm.
Ignore a reply if it does not serve you right as it wasn't meant for you in the first place.
Attitude like this makes it difficult for others to get response from those who are willing to assist which has gradually make NL lost its old time flavored
It will always be wise to go for the message and not the messenger
Info like this is what people pay for in the name of consultation
Onuimo1: There are no heroes my dear. We have a failed government already, Kaduna bombing comes to mind too. Let's not be moved by these selective fake outcry from the so called activists and celebrities. They'll be quick to label Naira Marley and Sam Larry murderers to get cheap attention, but I'm not moved by such kind of attention seekers.
Security has gone to the dogs in this country. It's a shame.
Oboys12: Just two days ago particularly On Christmas Day over 100 Nigerian Christians were killed in Plateau State while they were celebrating Christmas. We did not see Social media activism saying justice for the massacred, the media was not agoged but if it somewhere far away in Gaza, Ukraine or United States. Social media will be full of fake activism. I cry for a generation of bandwagons. Oh Africans who bewitched you, Oh Nigerians why are you this cosmetic😭
AnietiePictures: My mind says i should not pass this thread by so I feel i should share my 2cents here
Its a lengthy 😂 piece
First, am a grad of a prof course but from sec sch i have been interested in ICT and even became a tutor and to teacher and to sec school head in ICT. I have passion for animation which have been my domain until recently I am learning dynamic web interaction with rdbms due to reasons including an already job waiting for me to take up.
Now to your question 1. No job is truly over saturated if you know what you are doing except if the job is faded away by time and circumstances. Eg in 2003-2010 internet cyber cafe was at its peak but today, phone has replaced their services and it will be wrong to start an internet cyber business now, do you also remember that in 2002 to 2009, phone boot call business was high in demands but today who does that? Do you know that in those same years graphic designers were hotcake but are the still hiting today, the ans is yes.
2. You need to keep updating by learning, unlearning and relearning to be relevant in your field, i started with Corel draw 5 on windows 95 saving using a floppy disk today were are those tools....obsolete! But am I? No. ur area may be different for example in programming, plenty languages existing and the library keeps going some commands are deprived and new ones introduced
3. In ebusiness, Don't believe online testimony, don't believe online results, don't believe online teachers who are infact marketters rather believe anyone who you have physically access and come to true conclusion of his testimony, online results or blablabla report. I started in the days of e-gold to liberty reserves and i am telling you from experience. Anything that has warning like "potential earnings, non-guarantee earnings, earning disclaimers etc" run...
4. Go for what u want, if its programming, which one? If this one, which aspect? If this aspect which application? If this application which clients... Avoid being a generalist as a beginner and always have the end in mind first as if u r playing worldcup...trophy abi?
5. Make friends o, 9ja is allabout contacts o and same in business, get enough portfolio and print complimentary card and learn to introduce urself with your work. Eg, i am........i work with .......that offers............... keeping it short and simple. Network with those doing the same thing, name so referal job they take happen o and when you get try show appreciation.....learning from those guru one on one is better than any thing o but u need to earn their trust.
6. Wat have you done for your self! abi na give me all the stuff type of person you b? start some where, get a plan, don't listen to side talks, do ur pressup, its about ur body fitness not theirs and no one will do the press up for you to develop ur fitness....its difficult, its frustrating, its timecomsuming....yes 😂 so just give up on your dreams and goals na and live a normal life or you think progress is that simple...even for school after teaching, I ask my students is it understood, they said yes...I will tell lets see how it goes from assignment to test to exams...and dey will be like after saying yes is understood?
7. Spend money o....forget YouTube, it will only take you far....but not enough for your journey and taking the best from all the youtube results for a starter is data intense and some youtube tutorials have barriers. Buy better laptop, no come cry online say maya 2023 no gre installed for windows 7....discipline ur self...hide and do the hardwork behind the scene .....no come form hypocrite dey post wet in you dey do....e go soon choke you. ..only post finish work or project and not for comments and like but for criticism but that ia a work of ur mentor as NL no care...highest na....that's nice but put ur mentor will tell u, its not nice by pointing ur errors.
8. Time is the measurement for ur progress and set a time to compare your now and before and the second best time to start afresh is now.
Adaisback: Anumanu! I am ashamed of your mother , she failed in her duty to raise you well. For those whose parents did not know Igbo tradition very well, let me tell you this today.
What I think is you blame others for things that happen to you instead of finding the reason things happen to you so you can be empowered to fix them yourself.
Guess you'd understand, forbid the same rut happens without you encountering your scapegoat.
