Post by: Salamok on March 31, 2009, 02:39:47 PM
anyone care to speculate? (http://austin.craigslist.org/cpg/1097107696.html)

probably should have posted in general.

lol thats what i thought then i saw the # of positions an dskills they were looking for and that makes me think it is legit.  I'm sure they have posted this all elsewhere and were just supplementing it with a craigslist post.

You sure?  It's posted in Computer Gigs and not in jobs.

Many of the major Silicon Valley companies including Google and Apple post their job openings on craigslist.

Nebu, everyone uses craigslist. It's a tech thing.

Show's you what I know.  I associate Craigslist with scams and garage sales. 

My mistake.

I seem to remember austin.craigslist recently changing things so they charge for job postings, but they added a gigs section that is still free.

Wow, they're looking for literally everyone but designers and producers.

Shouldn't complain too much, the Austin game dev job market is such that any new studio (which this obviously is) is a good one.

I can't even figure out what that sentence means.

I suppose that any job you can find is better than no job?

Oh, if that's what he means, I guess that's true! Though some studios are more gooder than others. Obviously.

You are forgetting that Lord B is currently unaccounted for, you are much safer hunting for work when you know he is locked down at some other company.

Those spots fill themselves, no need to look for staff.  Really, programmers and artists don't go looking for staff.  The guy with big, uncrushed dreams and the guy with no financial acumen, they need staff.

Yes, that. Sorry for my cold-medicine-fueled lack of clarity.

As for Lord B I have heard rumors he is considering getting the band back together, but nothing more than that. And he has enough of an entourage that there wouldn't be the need to hire such a wide swath of a team. This ad literally reads like "We have this idea for an MMO - now someone implement, plz".

"Bellow are a list..."

Hmmm...it looks like at least one job is missing from their list.
