"Alright, who wants to help make a game?"

Swordspines Entertainment, Grix's Company, are branching out into GBA software, and are currently trying to recruit potential young talent for work on new titles.

We're looking for people who possess any of the following skills:

1) Programming
Any language, but you may need to learn new ones - especially if you don't happen to know C++ already ;)

2) Graphical design
Must be good with 2D graphics, and/or animation

3) Sound Artists
Able to make nice tunes and sound effects. Obviously.

4) Designers.
Level designers/game designers. Must be creative, and know what makes a good game. Applicants for this post will be vetted by Grix (hehe).

5) Testers.
Must be able to play games. Need two hands, and/or telekenisis. Must be able to give good feedback.

6) Miscellaneous
If you think you've got skills which might be helpful, and they're not listed above, just let us know what you can do.

Chuck your name in here if you're interested in this:

Strafex.. email.. him... I wouldn't mind speaking to ol Delta either to be quite honest. Decent guy :)

I wonder where Delta Java is these days...

Want me to email him?

Deja vu...err.. yessss.... anyways. I would be happy to test boys :) I spend all my time playing games anyway, nice advert for TOms site this isn't it :D

I am good at graphical design because in my spare time, I'm usually drawing something or other; it's a hobby of mine. Same with designing levels/stories etc. I have a good imagination and I actually designed a level once. Finally, I would like to help with game-testing if you need it, as I am pretty clear and concise about what that particular game would need

I'd really like to do sounds and music - I've done stuff like that before. Although I could test too.

But I'd rather have fun making noise.

I'd be a pretty good tester, cause i'm not too amazing at ganes and I won't complain of easy-ness, but I'm not too terrible so I'll be able to say things about it.

Programming - did C++ at college, forgotten a lot now but would have a go...

Graphic Design - Currently a Web site designer, with knowledge of the main packages. Hopefully getting Maya soon to learn, the program GT3 and the Final Fantasy film were co-written in.

Sound artist - done this for games before, a mate did archemedes conversions as an income supplement and i did the tunes.

Game/level designer - Havent done it before, but know I could.

Tester - currently reviewing PS2 games for another site

Misc - Web site design, promotion skills, marketing skills, client management skills, blah blah blah.

Let me know if I'm needed, ta.

I've toyed around with C++ and Java in the past. Wrote a program to calculate which pumpkin weighed more. It sucked.

I actually have a C&G in applications programming, but I'm only (kinda) fluent in crap languages like COBOL and Pascal. Crap languages that no one uses. I was conned.

Level design is something I'd be keen to do.

What genre are we thinking about anyway?

I might struggle to find time, unfortunately though.

Keep me posted, and I'll see.

I've looked at the GBA devellopment kits and they're more or less above my head at the moment.

My C++ book covers programming, structures, preprocessor commands and object orientated programming but not how to turn this into games/graphics or whatever I'm doing.

I'll finish this book and then move onto another one.

I could test games if you need to.
