They want someone to help ”plan and build” their online infrastructure so it can scale to many players connecting with one another. No clue as to what lies ahead for the studio yet.
A job listing for the indie studio reveals they have something in mind already for their next project, although it’s an ambiguous read except to say it’ll definitely feature online.
”With our last game, Journey, we began incorporating online interactions into our projects, and we’d like to take it a step further on our next game,” blurbed thatgamecompany’s job ad.
”While we’re pretty experienced making games, we’ve never built a full scale online service available to hundreds of thousands of users. We’re looking for someone to help us plan and build our online infrastructure in a way that scales.”
They also want applicants who ”desire to see the medium of games mature and increase in relevancy for people around the world.” Also its best if you ”desire to create something not just for core gamers but everyone you respect in your life.” That means no freaking out when a ‘casual gamer’ approaches you in the street I guess.
Are you planning on picking up thatgamecompany’s Journey for PS3?
