[color=white]Paradigm Entertainment is video game developer located in a suburb of Dallas, TX. We are PROUD TO HAVE BEEN RECENTLY ACQUIRED BY THQ Inc. We are currently working on projects for next gen platforms.
What makes us so special? Well simply put - OUR PEOPLE! We are a cool group of gamers who are passionate about making games that are fun to play!
Why the Dallas area? As residents of the Dallas metropolitan area, we enjoy an AFFORDABLE COST OF LIVING, (we can purchase homes before we turn 50) excellent schools, restaurants and entertainment. We also enjoy the competition of professional football, basketball, baseball and soccer! The conveniently located DFW airport allows us to travel to anywhere in the world when we choose. Finally, as residents of the great state of Texas, we do not pay state income tax – more money to buy GAMES!
We already have an extremely talented Design Group, but we need additional people to help us achieve our short & long term goals. Paradigm Entertainment seeks highly skilled Level Designers to create challenging and entertaining levels for our games.[/color]
