Anyone interested in working for a cool company that makes arcade-style video games?

Matahari Studios, a world-class game development company, is looking for talented Filipino 3D artists and software programmers to create video games. They’re putting up a subsidiary office in Ortigas Center, Pasig City to develop games for Timezone centers.

INQ.NET interviewed Matahari Studios General Manager Eric Marlow:

“Every month we’re screening hundreds of applications but we’ve so far hired only 13 people. It takes a specific skill set to be in this job because we’re not going to train new hires with basic video game making because they have to pick that up as they go along.”

Marlow said they are expecting their first game to be launched by early next year. He said it takes between 18 months to 22 months to develop an arcade game, depending on its complexity.

The company has created arcade games such as Super Strike (2006), Silly Sport (2005) and Little Masterpiece (2005). Owned by the Autralian company LAI Games, the Matahari Studios team has talented production and development personnel under experienced management and technical direction.
