I mailed a CV to DC Studios global address, but no reply either.

I suspect muppetry is afoot.

In fairness, the new studio STILL hasn’t been announced…

I think there already is one in Dublin, no? Werent they on an RTE program?

Scope maybe…

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….

“DC Studios has immediate vacancies worldwide in Montreal, Canada, Dublin, Ireland and the UK. Please click here to apply”

Thats been there since the first rumours were ‘mooted’ here.

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

It will be good to hear from them next friday, hear their plans etc.

Can you impart any info on what they are developing in Dublin with regards to hardware ?? Or is that still secret ?

New rule?:

If you have a game related company in ireland, you must join these forums :)

Else you get Hoffed

Is this the so called “Rule 42” that is being mooted for change?

Else you get Hoffed [/quote:86f8a25733] but if they join they have to get Hoffed anyway!!

[ Pete McNally, you have a lot to answer for! ]

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

auch, Nay botha wee laddie.

Let me know the gossip after the shindig y’all

You went from a scottish twang to a kind of south central one there…….well done Kyoto! ;)

Looking forward to hearing the announcement next week, its good that the community on this small island is beginning to grow more and more….

Anyone know if TKO will be in attendance too?

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
[/quote:ca7b20346a]

How many do TKO employ over here now, does anyone know?

Just curious….

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.

Sorry…just scanned the posts and didn’t realise conversation had gone from DC to TKO.

So does that mean TKO are currently only developing handheld/mobile content? [/quote:dc1550099c] yes

I’m still trying to establish contact with DC too.

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.

well as you know the IDA/DCU official announcement was made the Tues after the shindig and as far as I know management are in the process of moving over to live etc..

as far as recruiting goes I don’t know any more…will let you know as soon as I do tho..I think they will recruit experienced staff from anywhere, Ireland or abroad..

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.

Over a million sold = sequel.

I too am waiting to hear back from DC-Studios… has anyone contacted them by phone or email? Theres some contact numbers on their main page Im gona try…

Ok, its been a few months, time to drag this topic up again….

Any news on DC Studios Dublin?

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.
