Supermassive Games Join DMK Indsutry Panel
We are delighted to announce that Supermassive Game, Guildford, have joined the DMK Indsutry Panel. Supermassive Games are an independent games development studio based in Guildford in the South East of England who opened our doors in September 2008 and are working primarily on innovative, publisher-funded, Playstation 3 exclusive titles. In our first year they have grown to nearly 70 amazingly talented people, all working on a variety of exciting products. You may have seen the announcement of one of our games at GDC – Move Party (working title). Here’s what Kotaku said “a splendid technological magic trick … it is the special twist that teases some of the Move’s best potential”. Check out some screenshots on our new Games page, plus watch the Developer Diaries on Eurogamer, made in conjunction with our friends at Sony
Our studio is a place where everyone can make an outstanding contribution every day. We pride ourselves on our energetic, creative environment where everyone takes responsibility and where we trust people to do their jobs. They are still looking for people to enhance our current set of teams. Ideally you’ll have a games development background, but if you have talent and the determination to be part of something new and exciting, we’d always like to hear from you. Just remember a DMK Masters could put you ahead of the competition !
If you’d like to get in touch with them to find out more, you can email them at develop@supermassivegames.com, check out their jobs page for some of our current vacancies or give us a call on 01483 549440. If you want to write in, you can find us at 1 Farnham Road, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 4RG.
