  I believe posts soliciting talent explicitly for full-time paid employment should be posted in the Careers directory.I'm not a moderator, so please forgive if I'm mistaken.Regards,   ;  Not if you are an indie.My understanding is that the paid announcement thing is only for the enstablished companies.   ;  How many indies can afford the U(nreal) 3 engine, and promote themselves at E3...   ;  Those screenshots are really impressive :)   ;Quote:Original post by d000hgHow many indies can afford the U(nreal) 3 engine, and promote themselves at E3...I don't want to start a debate, but "indie" doesn't mean you can't have money. It just means you are not a mainstream producer or developer (ie. you make games that you publish yourself or are awaiting to get published) most 3rd party developers (not to be confused with 2nd or in-house developers) are "indie" and are hired out or make games and then market them to publishers.To be honest, I have to give credit to an independent company that is hiring people (with pay) and advertising on this forum. It goes to show that the independent game world is making a come-back.I will possibly be doing the same in the next few months as I have realized that if you want to get something done, and get it done right you gotta pay the price. Waiting for a diamond in the rough could take years, but if you play your cards (money) right then you can make it happen.   ;Quote:Original post by RaduprvNot if you are an indie.My understanding is that the paid announcement thing is only for the enstablished companies.If you check the Careers directory, you'll see many independent developers with fully-functioning design studios that are hiring for paid positions.Independent or not, the OP in this thread appears to meet the criteria for a post in the Careers directory, what with the mentioning of secured E3 space for showing demos, requesting workers in the "top of their field" with previously released AAA commercial titles. (Perhaps he doesn't want to pay the $185/45-day advterising fee.)Quote:Original Post by wyledI have to give credit to an independent company that is hiring people (with pay) and advertising on this forum.I agree entirely. My point in responding to the OP was to suggest advertising the job positions in the correct forum. The "Help Wanted" forum clearly states in the tagline: "This forum is to help hobbyists and independent game developers connect. Commercial game jobs should be listed here <career directory>"Regards,   ;  Yes, but they will be working from home, which is more of a contract work than being permanently hire at their HQ.Besides, our little project (Eternal Lands) can be seen as a commercial project because we make money from it (even though is a free game). Sometimes I do advertise some 'I need this, I am willing to pay this much' on this forum, and so far there were no problems with it.
