The games jobs board has a new home: The Games Jobs Index

It started as a page on my personal site to help people find work after the 2022 layoffs. It has grown a fair bit since then, so today it moved out and got its own site, with a proper redesign to go with it!

What it does, and what it deliberately does not do:

  • 14,300 live jobs from 600+ studios hiring right now, read every morning at 07:00 UK directly from each studio’s own hiring system.
  • Every listing links straight to the studio’s own application page. No accounts, no application forms, no CV collection, and I take no cut of anything. Free means free, forever!
  • If a studio takes a job down, it is gone from the board the next morning. No ghost jobs.
  • Filter by discipline, country, remote and entry level, with a page for every country and every discipline.
  • 1,767 studios listed in total, including the ones whose systems I cannot read, so you still get a direct link to their careers page.

What else is new?

  • New Country and studio pages: easier access to finding studios in your area and seeing what other jobs a particular studio offers
  • Improved accessibility: light theme and screenreader improvements
  • Share functionality has improved and now works seamlessly on iOS devices and Android

I have also published how the whole thing works: how the counts are made and checked, exactly what I read from a studio’s hiring system and how to opt out of it, and what you can and cannot reuse from the board. That felt like the least I could do for a site that lists other people’s jobs.

gamesjobsindex.com

Old links still work. alexanderrehm.com/gamejobs and everything under it now redirects, so any bookmark or post you have saved will land in the right place.

If you spot something broken, or a studio I am missing, please comment or message me.

More to come.

RuneScape 3 launched – Dawn of a New Age

Today marks the launch RuneScape 3, the biggest update in RuneScape’s history. And after the Transformers Universe Closed Beta launch in December the second biggest launch for me here at Jagex!

With a brand new age in technology, gameplay and story now the player must drive the future of Gielinor and leave their mark on RuneScape’s 6th Age. The changes in a bit more detail:

Technology:

  • HTML5 game client: The next generation of RS3 brings a big step up in visual quality with improving lighting, draw distance and colour, loading into your browser in moments, without the need for plug-ins or Java.
  • New audio engine: High-fidelity audio and music, featuring full orchestral pieces written by BAFTA Award winner James Hannigan and played by the Slovak Symphony Orchestra.
  • Seasonal high scores: Compete against your friends and the rest of the RuneScape community to rank on weekly and monthly leaderboards.

Story:

  • Dawn of the Sixth Age: The gods of RuneScape are returning. Entrusted as World Guardians, players have the power to decide which gods will win and lose in their struggles for supremacy.
  • The Battle for Lumbridge: An epic-scale world event which will shake the foundations of Gielinor, and one which is driven entirely by your actions. Week by week, your choices will shape the flow of battle and the fate of characters, locations and stories, and the ultimate outcome will set the course for RuneScape’s future.

Gameplay:

  • New Interface System: Designed for ease of use and massive depth of customisation, the NIS lets you quickly change RuneScape’s UI according to your play style at any given moment. It also includes feature upgrades such as key binding and a resizable minimap to put even more choice at your fingertips.
  • Upgraded camera: Overhauled and updated, a new in-game camera gives you the freedom to view Gielinor like never before.
  • New community website: Customise your community experience to your specifications, with a new easy-to-navigate website focused on your needs.
  • Divination: Prepare to unlock divine powers from your surroundings with a new skill for RuneScape 3, arriving a few weeks after launch.

Many teams across Jagex have spent months reaching this monumental point bringing players the best browser experience possible.
