Given that our pledge amount continues to rise daily, it seems our employee count has not. Can you give some insight into what else CIG would need employee wise, and if or not we honestly need more?asked by SandmanTX

We're always constantly hiring new people. We're interviewing a lot of fresh talent - we've got a lot of candidates that we're looking at - so we are trying to expand our studios globally. We've just had a new round of employees in our Austin office, in our UK office. We've got a few people who just started on here. So we are actively looking to grow. Travis is also kind of spearheading a lot of the recruiting, so have you any insight on that?

Well yeah, no, it's-... I guess I don't know where the statistic comes from that our team's not growing in size because it is, every day. We are constantly growing - it's a huge game to make. As to the point of what particular positions we're really looking to hire for; I can't speak for every studio. Here in the Santa Monica office we're really looking for gameplay engineers - we need a build engineer, we need somebody else on the Flash programming side to help out Zane, I need ship artists, tech designers - a lot of which we're in the process of hiring right now so...

And producers...

And producers, yeah! Yeah it could be "10 for the 5 Producers" at some point.

On top of that I've only been here what, 3 and a half months now, and even within just the first week I was no longer the rookie person. We've already hired quite a few people, so to kinda echo Travis, yeah our count has gone up, recently quite a bit.

Yeah, when I started here there was three people, so we're at like forty something now - that's a high percentage of growth whatever that is. I am not good at math.
