Rumour: Smith & Tinker to do Web Games?

[Elven6]

Today I decided to pay S&T’s Job site a visit, until recently the page was left completely empty. Today when I checked however I saw they were indeed hiring, but not for game developers, instead all the job listing’s were for web based development.

Sr Software Development Engineer

Web Development Engineer

Sr Software Development Engineer in Test

Software Development Engineer in Test

Contract - Flash Game Developer\

At first I didn’t look much into it, until I noticed all job page’s had the following similar lines in them:


If your fu is strong, we want you to bring your hands-on lead-level developer skills to perform all development related tasks in developing a Web based management platform for an exciting new connected toy and Web gaming experience.

This is going to be filed in the Rumour section’s for now, the page’s also say C++ knowledge is needed, this could also mean “real” game development.
