Calling All Artist! Frozen Codebase is hiring again!
polycounter lvl 18
Alright guys and gals, we're now open to artists interested in working up in the frigid wasteland. We're looking for very immediate positions, so willingness to pack your bags and run with it are a must. We're working on a variety of PSN/XBLA/Wiiware games at the moment, with primary focus on the XBLA/PSN side of it all. If you survive through the grueling interview process, I'll personally buy you a beer at the local tavern (or chocolate milk, if you swing that way).
As always, if you've got any questions, feel free to PM/IM/IRC/email (why isn't that widely abbreviated as EM yet?).
