Want To Work On BioWare's Star Wars Game?

Posted by Hemos on from the i-just-want-to-play-it dept.

Johnathon Walls writes: "BioWare, the developers of the recently announced Star Wars role playing game, has posted a job offer for art director on the Star Wars game via IGN PC. 'Applicants must have industry experience and a strong art foundation. Submit resume with portfolio demonstrating skills in 3DSMax, Photoshop, Drawing, painting, graphic design. Superb scheduling and people skills required.' Undoubtedly you'll have to move to Canada, but I can't imagine that's going to stop anyone!" Mmmm...playing Icewind Dale [?] ...want Star Wars.

  1. Difficult to work for a game company by Fervent · · Score: 3
    Your chances of getting on as a director for a Star Wars game - or any PC game for that matter - is slim. I've tried everyone from Sierra to Blizzard to id, and each had enormous commitments (not only moving, but 14-hour programming shifts, the ability to fire you at a moment's notice, etc.) for their titles.

    These companies put out great games, but you have to wonder about the sacrifice some of these programmers and artists have to make. They always show programmers firing nerf guns around on Fridays in gaming mags, having fun, but they never show them sitting and staring at the same DirectX screen for 14 hours on end.

    What, is everyone at a party or something? No news today? Someone at ./ sleeping with the HR director at BioWare?

    There are a million fun jobs out there in the universe. Many of them are for interesting projects at fun companies... maybe even *more* interesting then an Art Director for some Starwars game....

    Even if this position is about Star Wars, what makes this article so slashworthy?

    Not to mention that this article is basically a reposting word for word of the IGN link...

    You hinting to us Hemos? Thinking of a new job??? </gripe>

    I feel bad for the HR guy who will have to read all the resumes pouring in...quite possibly the first time a human being will be slashdotted...
