Well, actually, we were going to be hiring for a full time chocolate chip cookie chef, but ultimately decided to scrap the position. XD Perhaps we can convince Cesar to reconsider lol.
To the positions,
Does it have to be chocolate chip? Possibly peanut butter? In all seriousness, it would be cool to work with the team, but I don't qualify. But I would make cookies if necessary.
I used to work for the Team back in 2003, then the C&D happened and i wasent part anymore. ???
I wonder what ever happened to the KQ Mythology in Microsoft Word i made, i guess its gone now. :(
Applied for QA tester. I hope this means I get to play the episodes earlier, because I'd REALLY like to dive right into Episode 2 right now! :)
Any estimation on when you plan on getting back to people who've applied? :)

soon!
I would love to apply, but I lack the time.
I resign myself to being a PO groupie for now.
I'll consider being a QA Tester. Since I graduated from school, I have a lot of time to doing a whole lot of nothing. :-\
I've had some experience beta testing many games (mostly MMOs). I actually focused on submitting glitches and inconsistencies with the games I tested. Playing the game early was nice, but being picked for beta testing is a privilege, so I tried to not take it for granted.
Remind me what is Q/A Tester, because i think i can do this and what basically would you have me do for example. ???
Must i have All the KQ Games aswell 1-7. :-\
You don't need to currently own all of the other King's Quest games, but a general knowledge of them is really helpful. A general description of the position and what it entails is available in the Jobs section. If you think it's something you'd be interested feel free to send in your resume.
I would love to apply as a QA Tester, but the only KQ game I do not own is MOE. Since I don't own that game, I've never played it (though if I could acquire it I would willingly give it a fair shot)
Since I have never played MOE, would I not be qualified as a QA Tester applicant?
I would apply anyway. It doesn't hurt to and you never know what might happen.
Thanks, waltzdancing! ;D

I do have one more question inquiring about applying. I've never done any online work, aside from like personal sites and the like. What would be required for the resume/portfolio mentioned after the job requirements?
Just your resume like you would need for any job. We just want to see your background. The online work is pretty much on your own time with meetings on Skype. We are always helping each other. If you are interested in doing art work or animations we would like to see some of the work you have done. I hope that answers your questions.
TSL is more based on the other games, so I'm not too concerned that you haven't ever played Mask of Eternity. Feel free to send in your resume!
I am interested in Video work and am self taught but what are oop principles why must i know the engine interface and script
if it is the same OOP i am thinking of it stands for Object Orientated Programming.
It is necessary for you to already be comfortable with Object Oriented Programming since that's what the Torque engine is based on. We're not really looking to train people on how to use an OOP engine, we need people who can come into those positions and hit the ground running.
Ohh, okay. I understand your question a little more now than before, Hero. The videos being edited are ones that play in-game and are created in the game engine--thus you have to know the engine to be able to edit them.
I'm thinking Paul may apply for one of the testers :) he's actually appyling for jobs as a games tester near to where we live, so any experience would be brilliant :)
I have decided to apply for QA Tester. Thanks for the opportunity, PO.
Does anyone know how many QA Testers PO will be taking?
Also, is there any update on when decisions will be made?
Thanks.

Right now I think I have plenty of testers, but applications are still open for those positions so I can bring on more testers later if I need more.
Okay. I am still very interested, so please keep me updated!
This makes me wish I was proicient in Sony Vegas and Adobe After effects like I planned to be years ago. >_>

Do you have any idea of when this may be? Within the next year, possibly?
Thanks again.
Ya I could probably guess that I'll bring more testers on within a year. I can't say exactly when because I honestly don't know, but I expect that to be a likely occurence over the course of a whole year.
