Toneman Gets A Job Making Games, Rejoices.
Toneman | 9:36 AM on 02.19.2008 32 comments


I'm excited to announce to all of my fellow robots that I've gotten a job in game developement. I'm officially signed on as a prop modeller for New Era Games. Most likely you've never heard of them before but they've been around since 2004. NE Games is a small team of mostly artists and programmers based out of Portland, OR and Denver, CO. For the past few months they've really been making a push to get the necessary team members so that they can really get to work on their game. Luckily they found me. I've been in talks with them for a month or so and we finally agreed on the details to finalize my recruitment. I don't wanna give away details on the game (or games) that we're working on as I'm not sure whats finallized and what's not. But if you're interested, jump over to their website and check out the details. All I can say is that I'm extremely excited to finally have my foot in the door and I can't wait to see what comes of this. If all goes well, I should be seeing you guys at GDC 09!
