Full Sail Missed Connection

Monday afternoon, my voice mail box.

I’ve never posted one of these before. You left me a message yesterday. Your name was Jesse, or maybe Justin? Your cell phone kept cutting out and I couldn’t hear your name or phone number. You wanted to talk about applying to Volition after you graduate. I love talking about that stuff! You seemed nice. Please call me again, or email. Let’s turned this Missed Connection into a Regular Old Connection.

Once again it's ON

It is time once again for me to bend your ear about Volition’s PlayTest program. This is different from our QA department, where we pay people to play games all day. In the Playtest program, we pay you to play games for a shorter period of time.

For instance we do on-line surveys that only take a few minutes, or we do more lengthy Usability tests that can take 2-3 hours, or we do week-long multi-player Beta Tests. Talk about variety!

If you’re selected, you will be appropriately compensated for your time and your help. I believe you get a gift card of some kind.

You must be 18 years or older to participate.

Anyways it’s pretty fun, and we need a wide range of people & gamer types. SO. To enroll in the PlayTest program and be considered, all you have to do is complete this short survey:

That’s it! It’s almost fun, if you think about it. Are you thinking about it?

NEW Red Faction: Guerrilla Developer Diary

FACT: All Volition employees must take an intensive 6-week course on mastering the art of the thousand-yard stare.

You will bear witness to the success of this controversial program in the first installment of our new Red Faction: Guerrilla developer diaries!

It’s over here at IGN. Go look. Let me know what you think. There’s more to come. It’s an exciting time.
