They're based out of Austin right? I wonder what it takes to get a tour through their place.

Who, Bioware? Only the MMOG studio is. The vast majority of Bioware's employees (200+) are up in Edmonton, where the company started.

Yeah but the MMO one is the one I'd want to tour. Do you have to know people who know people to get a tour or what? Will GMG have a tour majiggy so local gamers can check em out?

Twobit Whore · 02-26-2007, 01:56 PM

I'm pretty sure you have to know someone or be someone to get a tour. Well, as long as you aren't from a rival company making a competing product.

TBH, I have been on a tour of the beta testers area for THQ. Friend of mine (online) works(ed) there, when I was down on business he gave me the grand tour. While initially I was jealous, after the quick tour and the description of how much money he made I was quickly thankful for the job I have. Long story short, I saw a bunch of cubicles with posters of scantily clad women that were reminiscence of my military days, along with a couple of unreleased (at the time) WWE wrestling games. Wasnt really much to see, I would assume the same would go for the dev area.

Also, the programming wing of my old company was under strict rules of minimal noise. It was to a degree that they had phones with lights to notify they got a call rather than a ring or tone. I would assume it would be the same for any programming dept of said software genre. I dont think you would get to see much, could be wrong though.

The MMO wing is. Its the same people who brought you SWG though, the bioware name is (mostly) in name only. I have a friend who works in Edmonton at the real bioware, i'm going to see if I can fanagle my way into a tour the next time I visit her.

Is this girl moderately attractive? I may need her name and number so that I may seduce her into giving me a sneak peak at Mass Effect and Dragon Age. I just refuse to slay any dragons to get at those princesses, so to speak.

Holy crap, what a time for this thread to goto Bioware.
John Ricatello and Greg Richardson, both from the VC that owns controlling interest in Bioware, are taking the lead positions at EA and Bioware.
Wow, huge news.

Did this "confusion" prompt the creation of your company's new name?

Faille · 03-05-2007, 03:44 PM

R.I.P. Green Monster Games (the name! )

Aethn Anvel · 03-05-2007, 04:00 PM

I like the new name better.

The first thing that came to mind when I saw Green Monster Games was baseball and other sports games, not MMO's. 38 Studios will represent a better diversified name, and you kept the little monster logo, which is a good thing since hes pretty cool.

No. We talked long and hard about making this change. The last thing we'd want to do is to appear uncertain about something that isn't that complicated. In the end we decided that the new name truly did encompass more of what we hope to be and do.
Most companies end up with shortened names and we'd have ended up "Green Monster" at some point, which I think might have caused some confusion or been misleading as to who and what we are.
I don't think it would have been a big deal, but we ended up going this route because of the long term vision as opposed to anything else.
We're going to be launching our company website in the next month or so, should be cool.
Our little site is up, and you can get some cool gear in English, Japanese and Spanish right now

Also going to be starting my personal blog in the next few weeks as well.
Should be a good forum to discuss the world from my perspective, baseball, family, the industry and much more. Time to start writing about the 'writers'

Let's see how they react to criticism

Yay tshirts =) The GMG (err 38studio) monster is cute =) reminds me in some ways of the Phanklin over at phank.com with my gaming group.

Going to order a shirt in the next day or two =)

EDIT: make that, just ordered one. The only problem with tshirts that i like is, i'm hesitant to wear them too much because i dont want them to fade with too many washing =D Also, gmail default filters the order confirmation / reciepts from the company GMG is using for their shirts to the spam folder, so if you use gmail as the email addy, check your spam folder when ordering a shirt =)

I hope I read "The Cleveland Indians are dominating the AL" on your blog

The Red Sox have a good program, wish you and your company the best. Your team keeps beating me on MLB 2k7, that Big Pappi/Ramirez lineup is killer
