Come and work for Mode 7!

Friday, September 14th, 2007

As we’ve got so much stuff lined up for the rest of this year and on into 2008, it’s time to “grow the company” as they say and bring in another in-house programmer to stop Ian from spontaneously combusting.

If you’re interested, take a look at our job posting on Gamesindustry.biz and send in your CV.  We’re after talented C++ programmers who want to work on interesting new games and don’t want to spend their lives stuck in a horrible building with no access to beer.

You have probably gathered from my silence that Austin GDC was a fantastically busy time, and that is no understatement.  Great to meet everyone who I met there, especially Christian, Sheffield and Brandon for getting me into (and entertaining me at) Gamecock’s party.  GDC in San Francisco is….currently a possibility INTO WHICH I am looking.  But catching up on actual work is a priority right now.

Also on TV in Ausin

An advert where Senator David Palmer from 24 explains about a kind of road accident fraud called a “Swoop and Squat”.

It’s raining in Texas.  I visited the Convention Centre today on my strange tour of the city – there were two guys sitting outside reading Game Developer’s Career guide.  I guess things are hotting up.

The Austin Diaries (Introduction)

Tuesday, September 4th, 2007

I’m currently sitting at Chicago O’Hare using overpriced wi-fi on my phone to bring you this exciting update. Only a couple of hours until my connection to Austin and a whole world of game development promise…I sat next to a woman who used to be a marketing manager for a huge book publisher on the flight over. She regaled me with a tale of how said publisher was royally screwed over by the holder of a big movie IP (a REALLY big movie IP) after being suckered into a multi-title deal. Sobering, and another reason why it’s good to stay out of ‘big business’. That said, I’m cooking up ideas for the Mode 7 empire as we speak, so when I’m old and broke you can come back to me and mock me for failing to listen to my younger self.
