While we have been around since 1998 - we just went public with the company. Currently we are on a "shoe-string" budget that is mostly simply allocating the funds to allow us to go premier our game at gaming conventions as well as meet publishers and partners.
While the Lead Programming spot is currently compensated, all positions will be compensated (both salary spots and freelancing spots) in early 2011 when we open the studio and offer remote positions.
Hope that helped clear it up
There are only a few positions remaining so send them as soon as you can! We look forward to hearing from you.

Incursion was by no doubt, one of the most played levels in the Source Multiplayer Beta. *It had a retro and easy-to-figure out design, was pretty - and more importantly was competitively fun!
We are announcing that Incursion will be making a much required return to '<em>ORION: Prelude</em>'. *We have taken it back to the drawing board and have given it a brand new style, made it larger to accompany the vehicle combat and dinosaurs and have fixed a few layout issues that were present in the Source Multiplayer Beta.
For the new fans, what was Incursion?
INCURSION - SOURCE MULTIPLAYER BETA
INCURSION - 'ORION: Prelude'
We hope you enjoy!
We are very humbled that we had some time to get out of our developer hole and share some new information with you. Things are extremely hectic right now and we hope to be able to release some new information soon.

ABOUT SPIRAL GAME STUDIOS:
Spiral Studios intends to bring the fun and excitement back to the action genre, by focusing on its core values: intuitive gameplay, tight controls, frustration-free designs, and competitive, skill-based challenge. These elements are found in some games; sometimes a game incorporates a few of them. Rarely will you find a game that focuses on every aspect of a fun game, and those that do are the games that players still come back to decades after they were made. We hope to stay true to these values by introducing our flagship studio title: Orion.
ABOUT THE ORION GAME SERIES:
Orion is a fast-paced, first person shooter with a heavy emphasis on team-based, multiplayer play. The game itself is set on an alien world that is similar in nearly every way to our earth in prehistoric times. The development of this game gives us as a team the wonderful opportunity to focus on what we view as the core of action genre gameplay.
