09/04/10 10:07 , Categories: Announcements [A]
I’m happy to announce that another game I was a developer on is now out on XBox Live!
Developed by Proper Games for our friends at Ruffian Games, the downloadable content adds game tools like “Keys To The City", new weapons, and new vehicles.
Watch the Trailer at IGN.com!
Official Description: Expand Crackdown 2 with the Toy Box Pack! It’s bursting at the seams with extra toys and treasures, including an expanded Keys to the City mode, the ATV Assault Vehicle, the Squad Chopper, Suit Thrusters, new Agent armor colors, and a Vehicle Tag game, just to name a few. The Toy Box Pack is packed so full it would take a Level 5 Agent to hold it closed!
Get the Game on the XBox Live Marketplace!

A friend of a friend wants to get into the game industry. He asked a few specific questions. Here are my answers.
Developer Openings in Scotland

I often find myself singing the praises of the games industry in Scotland. Not just to friends, coworkers, and family, but in the last month it has been to taxi drivers, a bank teller, and even on a local podcast.
The topic that non-industry people seem most fascinated about is the large number of games studios (and the developers they employ) that are right here in Dundee. And so after my last blog post, I thought it was worth linking to local game developer openings.
Is Junction Point Studios hiring?

- Warren Spector is responsible for some of the most innovative gameplay in the industry.
- Junction Point Studios is Warren Spector’s company.
- Junction Point Studios also employs developers from Origin Systems, Looking Glass Studios, and other great gone-but-not-forgotten developers.
- Disney is the money behind Junction Point Studios, so all recruitment goes through the Disney Careers Website… which involves knowing what you’re looking for in order to navigate through to find jobs at Junction Point Studios.
So, I created this link to quickly find job opportunities at Junction Point:
Junction Point Studios Careers
(The jobs listed in Austin is what you’re looking for.)
Personally, I think working for Junction Point Studios would be a great experience. So I’ll be checking that link regularly.

iPhone Game Development on PC

Well, with my MSc dissertation submitted, I finally have a bit of time to focus on some of my other projects … which includes keeping this up to date with what those projects are.
The latest is an iPod-Touch/iPhone game development, and the goal is to do as much of the development as possible in VisualStudio on a PC.
I found a few great resources for this, that I’m listing here for my own benefit as much as anyone else’s.
