Jagex Ltd are the UK's largest independent computer games development studio and the creators of hugely popular and successful online games.

We are looking to appoint a short term contractor / freelancer to help us design a website for one of our upcoming games. Given the size of our target market and audience, this is sure to be a hugely popular website once launched and would be a fantastic addition to any portfolio.

We are most interested in hearing from Web Designers as opposed to Developers. We have our own team of developers but need a highly creative individual to help us concept mock ups for the front end. Expert skills in Photoshop, Illustrator and associated packages are therefore essential.

If you have a true eye for what looks good, what functions well, and would like to significantly bolster your portfolio with a top class project, then contact me for more information.

The contract will be based on site in our Cambridge office. We are open to rates and length will be determined during initial stages. (looking like 2 - 3 months)

Please check out our website or contact me for more information - careers@recruit.jagex.com

Just the job for me.

Heh. I'll re-design MechScape World to give them a taster.

If the upcoming game is MechScape then it means it won't be released for a bit yet (considering it'll take 2-3 months for the initial stages of design).

Then again, http://64.233.183.104/search?q=cache:IUWRS...ob36478331.html is a job advertisement for a Quality Assurance Test Lead from February,

does that mean mechscape will be released in 2-3 months and

does that mean mechscape will be released in 2-3 months

Stop talking like a five year old do you think it means it will be released 2-3 months...

does that mean mechscape will be released in 2-3 onths

that link there is dead

Nah, from what we can gather their new MMO won't arrive until the middle of 2009. I'm expecting some sort of concrete announcement about the game at the end of this year though, and possibly a beta a few months before the scheduled release.

come now when you put it that way arent we all acting like 5 year olds asking questions on a game that hasnt been released yet and trying to figure out when it will be. just like a kid trying to find out what he is getting for christmas
4 months before december soo when you say stop talking like a 5 year old look at yourself

I suppose i did overreact i was just a bit angry...sorry

ren you have connections with a ex-worker of jagex do you not
what information can you get from him?

Virtually none, they signed an NDA and I respect that.
