PopCap working on ‘Team Fortress 2 style Plants vs Zombies game’

MCV Staff 11th December 2012 Business News

Popcap is looking for a software engineer to build a triple-A console title using the Frostbite 2 engine.

The game will be developed by the Burnaby branch of the company that made its fame with casual titles like Peggle and Plants vs. Zombies.

"PopCap Burnaby working with Frostbite 2 on a ‘triple-A console game’ (aka the TF2-inspired Plants vs Zombies game)," reads aTwitter postby Superannuation.

The official post from PopCap is more cryptic, and confirms nothing aside from the use of the Frostbite 2 engine.

"The PopCap studio is looking for an experienced generalist SE to build a triple-A console title," says the listing."This generalist will work on a broad range of game systems including, but not limited to: animation, audio, resource management, pipelines and visual effects. The ideal candidate will also have experience working with the Frostbite 2 engine."

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
