To all friends or people effected over @ THQ we are looking for people for Aliens and Future Projects. If the job is not on the site still send me your stuff via email hawkry@timegate.com.
I would like to also add that I will be making a section in the book dedicated to help artists looking for work and will be displaying their work for the world to see. Send me them folios people if you or friends need some extra help.
Also, what the fuck? Is this due to poor business decisions/management, low sales numbers or what? I'd love for the people responsible to get some flak themselves for once, instead of continuing to come up with poor strategies and receiving large bonuses every year.
I'd totally recommend following Jesse if you aren't already and are effected by this, he's re-tweeting like crazy. The amount of job related tweets aimed at ex-vigil and ex-relic employees is really impressive.
I just hope everyone that was affected had their work backed up. Remember. ALWAYS. ALWAYS, back up your work.
It is your life! Your career.
Do you think they give a shit if you get another job soon? No, But your family and/or kids sure do. So always look out for yourself. Always...
This is great advice, Even though I feel as "safe" as I can in my job at this point in time I regularly back up work and am prepared for situations like this.
Best of luck to all those affected, I thoroughly enjoyed Darksiders and Space Marine you are a talented bunch.
thats sucks. the polycount community always helps out any way they can, thats awesome. my studio, Avalanche Software (Disney interactive in Utah) is only looking for designers, programmers, and art interns. http://disneycareers.com
This really sucks, good luck to everyone that's affected. Gameloft Montreal is always looking for all disciplines; feel free to PM me and I can forward your portfolio and tell you a bit about the studio here.
I have been laid of twice sucks for sure. I'm sure some of those let go were crunching and giving it their all on Darksiders 2, If Darksiders 2 had been a month ahead of where it is now these layoff may have happened a month sooner, or in other terms game over= game over for you.
If anyone strong with Object-Oriented or Objective-C programming and is looking to switch industries from game development, NCR (www.ncr.com) has direct-hire/permanent-placement opportunities in the Atlanta area. They have a new Cloud product being developed so there is a nice variety of Software Engineering positions open.
**I'm not a bot, this is a genuine post in case anyone reading does want to switch industries. However, I completely understand if it gets removed or taken down.
This really sucks. There is just so much work that ends up being thrown into an MMO, that switching to a more limited experience is a major hit. I hope that all affected land on their feet again swiftly.
We're also looking for some art types out here in Las Vegas.
Super sorry to hear, really sucks to see that many people let go.
I guess its at least good the game was changed to a single player instead of just getting canned and seeing more layoffs
Edit: Had our Careers page open and for some reason just spaced on posting the link. Luckly one of my co-works berated me for it and posted the jobs down bellow but thought I would throw the link up again anyways.
Like David said, we should have more positions open in April!
Sorry to hear this news today. I hope everyone gets on their feet soon.
Being from Austin, this hit me hard.
I wanted to go ahead and list some jobs that we're actively hiring right now at Naughty Dog.
Also, check back in April because more jobs will get posted then.
You can PM me or e-mail jobs@naughtydog.com.
Again, sorry and good luck!
