Post by bigmike20vt »

considered applying for a job at frontier developments for a position in Elite 4?

some of the oxp ship models made by hobbyests are simply superb and easily imo retail quality.

just wondering if it had been attempted, and how Braben would feel about oolite being on your CV as a tech demo example of your work.

Yeah well I'm working on finding you an answer to that. Don't worry I won't endanger the board just my own personal legal safety.

They have a forum, I have a sudonym. We'll see what we can do. :D

by the way if you nick caduceus, I want a mention. because I love glory more than money, and good glory is a blank cheque signed by the world.

I'd recommend Griff for an Art Director there, his ships are full of awesome and sexy! :P

They'd be nuts not to hire him.

I dont think that many people here think elite 4 is in active development, so I guess there are no jobs to apply for.

That or it's suffering from severe feature creep. They may have made three or four decent games, but scrapped them to get the next big idea in just like the Duke Nukem team did.

I don't think "severe" even begins to describe 10 years of feature-creep.. doesn't Elite IV now hold the world record in the vapour-ware category?

Edit: nope.. Duke Nukem Forever still holds the record with 13 years..
