Aphra.

I was trying to telepathically send my application……but its a bit hard to telepathically attach a word doc.

Thats exact rumour has circulated for about a month now….

Torc still looking for all those people they advertised for last month?

I just ask as a ‘friend’ might be looking soon…

good to see all these studios beginning to pop up.

lets hope in 05-06 we see one (maybe more) releasing on a console\pc.

will have to check with Torc but many of them are over at GDC..

Dermy, Pete or anyone else know???

Keep your eyes on the industry press….

Torc are indeed still hiring programmers. (see the JOBS section)

Also. we’re just about to start advertising for a number of content jobs (art, audio & level design)

good to hear torc is on the up and up.

Good news all round! :)

Sorry to hear that Alan, and very suprised also. I would have expected a good response to be quite honest.

Maybe pixel artists are few and far between, but I would have anticipated a good response for the designer position. Maybe people are just unsure of what the position of a designer entails and what the requirements are?
Are you looking for people with games design experience, and/or are you considering people with project management experience. I think that sometimes people can be put off applying for something that they are unsure about. What I’m bascially asking is what are the upper and lower thresholds for this position, regarding experience and requirements?

I think there alot of Irish dev people who unfortunately are not on our gd.ie boards :(

I’m not qualified for the ‘Games Designer/Producer’ role :p

This is something I wanted to bring up…but I couldn’t come up with a solution to getting them here.

yea sorry to hear that Alan…but we will all try to spread the word..

Aphra.

Just to let you guys know, TKO are currently looking for 2 mobile game programmers. I will organise an ad in the jobs section shortly but basically we’re looking for programmers with J2ME experience. I appreciate that these are scarce in Ireland given that I’m the only Irish engineer in TKO :)

Anyway, just wanted to spread the word. We’re working on some really exciting projects at the moment. We’ve just completed a big project that’s due for release alongside a Hollywood movie in the next couple of months.

If you feel you’ve got the experience and skills contact us!!

Where is the console love though….. ;)

Torc will also be looking to port the Instinct Engine to Xbox and Xbox 2 soon

and of course, all of this ignores the fact that both Havok & Demonware have console versions of their products… n’est ce pas?

I mean console games development. As in original games content being developed by Irish devcos….I know there is stuff being made out there, but…….

“please sir, can I have some more?”

On the topic of hiring…Visual Science are looking for experience level designers.

If you give me your CV and you get hired…I get cash – wahoo!

You’re nothing but a pimp Ivan!
I expect to see you at the next shindig wearing a bright red mink coat, a purple fedora, diamond sunglasses and carrying an ebony cane with a jewel encrusted handle(aka a “Pimp Stick”)

Haha….working with Ivan
