    See what you miss when you don't check <a href="http://www.troikagames.com">their site</a> regularly? Posted back towards the end of November, Troika have <a href="http://www.troikagames.com/jobs.htm">two jobs going</a>.
    <blockquote><b>Gameplay Scripter</b>
    Troika Games is currently looking for a gameplay scripter. This is an entry-level position. Job responsibilities are as follows:<lu>
    <li>Responsible for scripting sophisticated behaviors and combat maneuvers for characters in our upcoming PC-RPG, Vampire:The Masquerade-Bloodlines.

    </lu>

    <b>Senior Gameplay Programmer</b>
    Troika Games, maker of fine role-playing games, is seeking a senior-level programmer to aid in the development of an upcoming action/RPG hybrid title for the PC. This position's primary responsibility will be to work closely with designers and the rest of the team to help develop and implement unique behaviors for individual NPCs and distinct gameplay events for major story points, using existing low-level AI and scripting systems. Job responsibilities are as follows:<lu>
    <li>Strong C++ and vector math skills.
    <li>A good awareness of the performance implications of his code.

    </lu></blockquote>
    Anyone think they've got what it takes? Anyone? Look on the bright side, at least Troika aren't dumb enough to fire you if you get a working demo of a game together. Unlike some other <a href="http://www.interplay.com">companies</a>.
