Well, I’ve just completed the hardest part of writing my novel, so I’m coming back to videogame business. I’m updating my online status in Linkedin and other sites so headhunters know I’m looking for a job.
My ideal company would be one with a portfolio of games (no more start-up companies for me), the ability to release games on a regular basis (no more Pyro-like companies, who can spend 5 years without releasing a game), international (no more spanish managers. No sir) and a nice atmosphere. Let’s see what I can find and who wants me in. I’ll keep you updated.

Well, that sounds very cool!
Last time I looked for a job I was seriously thinking about living abroad. For very specific reasons, I decided to give an opportunity to my current company's project, so I finally stayed in Spain.
We just received some training on the game engine we have bought. Included with the engine, there is a reference game included, developed by the same people. Once Their approaching to some aspects of their game - quest system, an abstract skills system, etc-, was amazing, and showed a really deep understanding of those very complex elements.
How can any of us learn how these systems work, if not going out there, looking forward to work and learn with those people?
I just wish I still have enough motivation left when the opportunity rises.
Good luck! :)
After my experiences in Pyro (Cops) and Grin (Wanted) I'm not particularly impressed about the skills of foreign workers. They're pretty much as good as any other spanish worker.
I've been told the main difference is that managers out there are not as obnoxious, careerists and schemers as ours. Also, companies are conceived differently, since most spanish companies are planned to make the work of 4 guys by just one.
I guess you are right. Maybe I just discovered the work of some exceptional guys (there must be some of them somewhere out there) and I am wrongly assuming that everyone abroad is as good as them.
In fact, this is the same that happens when someone joins a big company and finds out that everything inside is not as beautiful as it seemed from outside.
No, no, you're right. There are exceptional professionals out there. All I'm saying is there are some crappy ones too.
And yeah, after some weeks in a new company the honeymoon is over and you have to learn how to deal with the small idiosincrasies. Hopefully there won't be too many ;)
