MapCore Job Census

    It's boggles my mind how such a promising company with such a talented team and such cutting edge technology/tools can fuck up that big time in only two years. So many bad decissions and megalomania that broke the companys neck its ridiculous.

    I hope everyone finds a new job even tho thats not so sure in the current economy.

    You can add me to Interwave Studios btw.

    Sorry for everyone that lost their jobs today. I added Nurbs and Steppenwolf to the list, and deleted the entire Grin roster. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in your future job search (and yes I mean that)

    Holy fuck, some sad news for the industry today, especially to mapcore! I'm really sorry for everyone...

    Good thing you found a job Stepp, your gonna work on nuclear dawn?

    Good luck on the job hunting everyone.

    That sucks a lot!

    Good luck everyone!

    This is really bad for the swedish industry too. I hope it spawns a new studio or two.

    Since I came to Sweden, your industry has practically collapsed:P

    I believe Steppen was hired at SBZ too?

    Oh shit...my condolences to everyone who is without a job now. What a mess, it feels like it was just last week that Grin announced all these new studios and projects and now the company's bust. I guess a lot of people are looking for a new gig now, anyone feel like opening up our own studio?

    Im definatly in in whatever way possible if that ever happens!

    Damn this sucks I'd love to say that you guys should apply to Io, but it seems like we're booked pretty solid when it comes to Level Designers at the moment D:

    yep

    Care to elaborate on that? I'd hate to think that Io's parent company caused all of this D:

    Best of lucks dudes, hopefully some new exciting company will spring out of this.

    Thx for the support people!

    It's been a rough couple of days for sure.

    As Dux said I'll hopefully join UW for real soon if things work out the way I hope.

    I'm sure any help here is very appreciated by everyone from Grin here!

    To all former GRIN employees, I am very sorry to hear that! GRIN had picked up so many talents from the modding community so it is indeed very sad to see it go.

    I must say that I believe their overly rapid expansion over the past few years has paid into the fact that they ran out of liquidity. Opening a new studio in another country is quite an expensive and exhausting thing to do, and they did that an a lot.

    I hope and belive that many of you will soon find a job again. Don't get too dismissed by what Mazy said about IO, I recommend applying anyway. I am not entirely up-to-date anymore on what's going on in there, but it still is a great company and they have to my knowledge lost more level designers than they have gained over the past year.'

    In other news if anyone cares, I am now also external lecturer at the IT University of Copenhagen. I will be in charge of the Engine Programming course for their master degree, which I believe is going to be very challenging as I am not that experienced as a programmer.
