Austin

Come join Emergent Game Technologies as we offer an open meet and greet to those recently *inspired* game developers in the Austin area who are looking for new opportunities.

We are primarily looking for folks to support our Online Game Server product, but will be taking resumes for other positions as well. We are looking to create a core group of contract developers IN AUSTIN.

KLRU, the Austin PBS affiliate http://www.klru.org, aired a story by producer Domenique Bellavia about Richard last night on their local show Docubloggers (http://www.docubloggers.org) in which he discussed his upcoming space flight as well as the Tabula Rasa immortality project.

Founded by Warren Spector, Junction Point Studios (JPS) joined Disney Interactive Studios (DIS) in September of 2007 and is quickly growing. While DIS is part of the larger Walt Disney Company, we still have the autonomy of a smaller developer/publisher without many of the risks and restrictions associated with start-ups.
Comprised of experienced game developers from places like Origin, Looking Glass, Electronic Arts, Sony, Sony Online, Digital Anvil, NC Soft, Rare and many more, we believe long-term success can best be achieved by delivering games of the highest quality – in game play and presentation, notably on time and budget. While hard work and commitment to quality is important, quality of life is equally important and our goal is to create an environment that fosters a superior work/life balance.

Edge of Reality is currently hiring for a number of full time positions:

• Level Designer
• HUD Artist (Flash)
• Contract Sr. Level Concept Artist
• Sr. Environment Artist

and Interns

• Production Assistant
• Design Scripters

Want to:

• Be an early employee at a hot start-up?
• Work on stuff that's fun?
• Make a real contribution?
• Have your work seen by hundreds of thousands of users?

We are looking for talented graphic designers or web developers with an understanding of usability / visual design. We would prefer to find people who can work with CSS, HTML, and PHP (for designers this is less critical). Flash skills are also desirable. A passion for games and/or sports is critical.

Austin Community College is launching a new Game Development program this fall, offering degrees in Video Game Art and Video Game Design through the Visual Communication Department. We are seeking part time instructors to teach classes such as Intro to Game Design & Development, Level Design, Design & Creation of Games, Game Testing, and more.

Ghostfire Games (www.ghostfiregames.com) is an Austin TX game development company focused on building downloadable games for the Nintendo Wii (WiiWare). We have completed our first title, Helix, which is scheduled for release in Summer 2008. We are now about to begin work on a new secret game.

Ghostfire Games is a great place to work since we do very short projects. Our first game took 6 months to create, and that's what we anticipate for each of our upcoming games. This way you don't get stuck on a long, boring project and can keep changing gears and learning new things. Our company is also very small, so if you work with us, you'll be able to make a big impact and have ownership of a large part of the game.

We have a great opportunity for a Special Effects Artist. This is a part-time contractor position that may develop into a full-time position as the company grows. As a Special Effects Artist you would play a key role in building all relevant special effects for our upcoming game.
