Interzone Wants You!

...transdimensional relocations since 1957

We are looking for talented people with a passion for games and the ability to work in a team without driving anyone nuts. Having a productive and enjoyable work environment is vital to us. Some people call it company culture, we call it wanting to come into work each day.

If you are such a person, get in on the ground floor with a triple-A development studio with big plans, world-class talent, and world-class funding.

If you join us at our Perth development office you'll be at a studio:

• working with the guy who created the green falling numbers effect for the Matrix, the ex-Chief Scientist of Ai Research, and many other crazy-talented people;
• which is designed from the ground up using the latest Agile development methodologies to avoid crunch horror stories;
• which is fully funded;
• which offers free cookies (honest to goodness we have free cookies), a fridge full of free drinks and espresso coffee on tap.

Considering a career in the games industry? We might have just the thing for you.

Not too long ago, our very own Mike Turner — 13-year industry veteran and Executive Producer extraordinaire that he is — gave a presentation about getting into and working in the games industry.

We took those notes and added a talk he gave at a SIGGRAPH meeting combining them together into one, mighty, piece of insight into what developers are looking for. You can find the augmented presentation right here, or click on the image.

Keep an eye on this space, as we plan to use this as a framework and to keep spackling in more career paths, insider details and helpful hints. Think of us as the career guidance counsellor you wish you had...

(Perth, WESTERN AUSTRALIA): Two of Western Australia’s best independent video game engineers have been snapped up by Chicago-based Interzone Games for its new Perth Studio after their work placed first and second in the Interzone Nullarbor 2007 competition.

The Interzone Nullarbor Demo Party and Game Development Competition is an annual event promoting the development of games, interactive technologies and a form of electronic art called “demos”. IZ Nullarbor provides a forum for Australian programmers, designers, artists and musicians to demonstrate their skills, interact, get to know each other and exchange ideas. This year’s competition featured more than three times as many entries as 2006’s inaugural event, and saw a significant improvement in the general level of polish and flair. The winners were chosen by popular vote, and prizes were presented by Interzone GM Robert J Spencer and Edith Cowan University’s Dr. Martin Masek. “The quality of the entries in this year’s competition is fantastic,” said Spencer. “Interzone is very proud to have inspired this level of creativity and commitment within the Perth game and demo community.”

Interzone’s core engineering and design team already features proven talent from Microsoft, EA, Spectrum Holobyte, Interplay, Parallax, Animal Logic, Silver Lightning, Team Bondi, Lionhead and Cyberlore, and we’re hiring weekly. Interzone is currently in stealth mode on a number of leading-edge projects, and we welcome career enquiries from experienced game designers, developers, modellers, animators and artists.
