Hey- wanna come work with us on our brand new Playstation 3 game? It's gonna be really cool, I promise :)
Well if you are interested- and you fit any of the below descriptions- then we're dying to talk to you. The company is in Salt Lake City (altho I work from San Diego, so you won't have to deal with my handsome mug every day!) and it's a great, great group of people. I've worked with them for 13 years- on and off- and they just rock.
We've also got a great deal with Sony (worked with them for 13 years as well) and a terrific producer who- unlike other places- will make sure the game actually ships and you get your work seen :)
So if any of this sounds good, let me know in the comments and I will let you know where to send your resumes.
Maybe we'll be working together soon! Sweet!
