You should care to the company as well !!! I agree it's really enjoyable to work with a good team, with good guys, nevertheless, working into a good company is at least really important: who would like to be involved into a project which will be closed due to a lack of ressources ??? Nobody I presume.... 

.. the more if you will be fired then... 

<Q> who would like to be involved into a project which will be closed due to a lack of ressources ???

then why gripe about Electronic Arts, if one company isn't going to bankrupt anytime soon it's that one. 

granted, I haven't followed the discussion, but a publisher's financial status don't really secure a given project. I'm willing to bet that one of the reasons EA is so fuck-off big is that they are willing to can projects that don't give them a guaranteed break-even. 

I'm willing. 

Ahahaha. EA isn't in the business of breaking even. People from EA keep comming by campus and they'll all tell you that EA lives by focus group thinking. And if your idea doesn't have million+ seller written all over it, they aren't interested. 

... that being a big company never secure yourself from stopping a project due to lack of ressources, or just because they guess it will not be finacially intereseting !! I work into microelectronic design, and it's rather current in big companies (like Texas, IBM, Philips, and Motorola... I've many experiences like tese...) to start a project, and suddenly to stop it because there is in fact no possible client, or just due to a management change... never forget this....

Employment law in the UK is a lot tighter than in the US, of course.

That doesn't stop EA being bastards :) 

the EA in canada is like dreamjob for all those who apply. Sure its a giant super mega gumbo-Corp, but I think they kinda fear the wrath of our WCB. 

Do you really want to work for a company desperate to use you up and screw you over if only they could find a way? 

Seems like it's that or get out of the games industry. At least EA isn't going bust tomorrow. 

If you're working on a project that needs someone for sound design or soundtracks, let me know. People in the community will tell you they are generally happy with the music I've done for them.

(except for biff who insisted I work some kind of gothic church organ part into an industrial tune that used Doom 3 sounds in it. sorry dude I failed you ;)) 

never makes songs longer than 30 seconds, so make sure your levels aren't very long. ^_^ 

What, like paid work?

We�re a small developer based in North London, England, looking for people to work under fixed-term contracts on a console fps title.

Mappers might be interested in a level design position, which is basically speccing out a level as a document, placing entities and scripting. Note that you wouldn�t be making level geometry directly � that�s all done in Max by dedicated artists. Experience essential, but it doesn�t have to be industry experience (i.e. if you�ve made a decent map, that counts :]).

We�re also looking for artists (Max and Photoshop).

For information and applications, please mail jobs@rocksteadyltd.com.

Feel free to post here or chat to me in #tf if you have informal questions, but bear in mind I�m just a lowly coder and might not be able to answer!

Also, please don�t forward this on other forums, we�re trying to keep the number of applications limited for now.

Thanks! 

I assume this means relocation? 

Yah, sorry, should have said. You'd be required to work in the office.

In case it's useful, we're 2 minutes from Finchley Central tube station, right above a pub and Dominoes (yay!). 

that's old argonaut people, no? 

Yup. Press release here has more info: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/news.php?aid=6308 

' kind of shooter is it? between you, me, and the rest of the internet -- is it something honest-to-god good or is it gonna be another run-of-the-mill one? 

for those of you playing at home, pay attention now. this is where we find out of the company is any good to work for. 

It's whether or not you can believe me.
