      RTE…dunno, its hard getting the reception over here.

      Its been announced on their website too, but I think Tony was supposed to be making the official announcement and I don’t think its come yet, although I could be wrong. Maybe its coming next Friday evening….

      Perhaps they’re waiting on getting the office fully fitted before bringing prospective employees in for an interview?

Regardless, the studio in Dublin is up and running and Paul Middleton will be speaking at the Shindig next week

[/quote:0d51c4374f] I could, but as an announcement has yet to be made I may be breaching a confidence. So I’ll play it safe and leave it to Paul to mention next week at the Shindig

      What I will say is that they had 2 projects to do here in Dublin – one was a definite and the second would only go ahead of they could get the right staff

      This is from TKO’s power point presentation for Dare to be Digital Ireland:

      Founded in 2002
      More than 100 employees located across 3 studios

      PC & Console – Santa Cruz, California, USA
      Handheld – Dallas, Texas, USA
      Wireless – Dublin, Ireland

      Unfortunately, you can remove Santa Cruz from the PC&Console category…
      60 people were laid off, the office closed and the CEO resigned.

      So does that mean TKO are currently only developing handheld/mobile content?

      Well they have the Glasgow office that was doing mobile stuff last I heard. Their main office is in Canada. Think they do a bit of everything there, but definitely console.

      uh-oh.

      So they are down to about 40 people and no console\pc titles then?

      Glasgow and Canada offices are for DC-Studios, not TKO. DC did not close any office.

      I am still unclear of the details of the new studio – when does it open

      Will they try and get Irish\peopleliving in Ireland staff first or keep with their current crappy advert going (the one about positions available around the world including Ireland)?

      ….a local website may help too

      gah, I hate being in the dark

      TKO have 2 main offices, Dallas (handheld games) and Dublin (mobile phone games).

      We (Dublin) are situated in the old MLE building on 2nd floor. We have 14 working in this office.

      From what I know, DC studios are due to set up an office in this building soon. From working in the building, I have seen no office yet.

      BoulderMedia are moving into this building also. They will be on the second floor as well.

      Riverdeep are due to move in as well in 2 weeks or so to the 3rd floor.

      DC STUDIOS, the Glasgow computer games developer, has acquired the rights to the sequel to the top-selling State of Emergency game from collapsed rival Vis Entertainment.

      DC has signed an agreement with administrator Tenon Recovery and State of Emergency Development, owner of the rights to the game. DC will complete the development of State of Emergency 2 and arrange a publishing deal for the game and any further sequels.[/quote:19d8f58020]

      Intro project for the Dublin DC Studio – complete an alpha stage game? You wouldnt need many staff….

      Or is it too soon?

      i still find it surprising that a sequel to SOE is being made, the first one was a good laugh after the pub and a few pints, but after 2-3 hours(playing soberly) seems a bit routine and linear.

      edit:
      there was something in the irish times business section about them around june or so , an ida report saying that 30/40 or so jobs had been created at dc, similar figure for tko

      we have Pavel looking into it. Apparently a company they were working with went under and effected them quite badly. We are trying to establish the full story and when they get back to us or we find out more we will publish the story.
