Maybe it's not appropriate for me to do this... but since probably not everyone here reads Rock, Paper, Shotgun, and since Introversion is the kind of company we can all get behind, I thought some of you might be qualified and interested in this. Note that recent graduates with no prior experience in the game industry are eligible. It sounds like, if you are proficient in C++ and are interested enough in games to know who Introversion are, you've got as much chance as anybody. Also, this is the kind of company where you could write a passionate letter and have it really count, I think. If I could code, I'd be applying for this.

So here's the text:




Video Game Programmer

Background

Introversion Software is looking for an experienced programmer to join our existing team of eight. We are looking for a quality (recent graduates will also be considered), all-round programmer proficient in C++ who is happy to work in all areas of game programming.

Fuck, It would be crazy but I could be on this.

Actually, no, since I'm not exactly proficient in C++
It shouldn't be too hard to learn if you already know C and Java would it?

Flackon, C++ is C with a bit of syntactic sugar. If you know OO from Java, you can program C++. Read the Stroustrup book, it is good and comes in Español

Do you think they're willing to take in students with no experience in any industry whatsoever?
