Thanks for the interest all the same, you do great work.
We are continually expanding (currently building out a whole new steampunk office) and looking for more artists still. Anyone looking to join a very different kind of game company, please follow the aforementioned application process above.
Where are your offices located? I'm assuming a full-time position would require relocation for daily access to the main office.

We are located in San Francisco, CA. Work would indeed require relocation to somewhere you could get to SF for work every day.
