InactiveJust saw a job advertised on Gameindustry.biz, in which DC Studios say they are looking for various people for differant offices around the world, including Dublin. Just wondering if anyone even knew they were over here?
The positions are full time and we have vacancies worldwide in our Montreal, Canada, Dublin, Republic of Ireland, and UK studios. [/quote:0803097b10]

InactiveI worked for them on a contract basis in Glasgow for a couple of weeks last year. They do mobile games in Glasgow. I think Montreal does mobile games, GBA games and they did I think it was the C64 stick with all the games on it. Or maybe the spectrum one, can’t remember. Don’t think they had a base in Dublin when I was with them.

Inactivemet them late last year with the IDA, who had invited them over and were encouraging them to set up their new offices in Dublin – hadn’t heard any more until now…
They do game dev on all platforms – handheld, PC and consoles
Will post more if I find out anything else

InactiveThey’ve done the Atari stick with games inside :)
It is their CEO, Mark Greenshields, who wrote a bunch of C64 games in his “youth”.
Interesting to know they might come here !Edit:
in fact they also did an “Activision” stick with Atari 2600 games, and yes by the way also a “Commodore 64” stick.
A new “Commodore 64” stick appeared these last days with lots of Epyx and Hewson games, for those who remember. And it is built in the best stick ever… the Competition Pro 5000 ! -

InactiveInteresting stuff, I presume that they will be concentrating on mobile games development over here…….hopefully they will throw in a bit of console development too though! ;)

InactiveIt will be interesting to see how they’ll effect Irish game development with them working on consoles. Will they pack it up and go back to the highlands after a few months or will they actually make a real presence.
Could see a few new names on the forums then. :)
Good luck with the application, Dave!

InactiveI can see that Console development is a big ‘High’ with us here, and rightly so. If Console development were to take hold then things would take a new turn, Mobile development is great, but lets be honest, everyone here would love to see another Console developer along side Kabooki… I know I would. :)

InactiveIf DC do decide to do console stuff ( although I really don’t think they will ) in Ireland, it would be good as they would be the only game dev company in ireland who will have published console titles and have gone through the process in recently and would be able to give advice. Realisticaly, I reckon it’ll be mobile phones, maybe gba games

InactiveI agree Omen, I would be suprised if they came over and went straight into console development here. They will probably have a plan similar to TKO, ie: start off with mobile dev and if all goes well move into a bit of console dev sometime in the future.

You see? I told you coming back to Dublin would have unseen benefits… Your sense of humour has returned… Before you know it you’ll be back to starting controversial threads… We haven’t had that one on ‘Why Left-handed Lesbians Shouldn’t Play Games’ yet

InactiveI do believe that was you getting hit.
Was a terrible game.I reckon working on film titles you’d be very restricted on what you can and can’t do.

InactiveI tend to agree, film titles seem to end up being a ball and chain for a lot of developers.

InactiveVery true. Enter the Matrix is a prime example of being used as a tool to promote the movie. It didn’t even have a real ending!
Although Chronicles of Riddick.. hmmm. Might not even watch the movie in case it spoils my love for it in any way.

InactiveBut isn’t Chronicles of Riddick a completely differant storyline to the film?
Which would actually give the developers a degree of artistic and creative control…
