A Quick Update from Goblinworks HQ!
Mark and I are busy setting up the offices that will begin to fill up this week as the dev team comes to work and starts building the magic of Pathfinder Online. We're not quite at the point of working out of my parent's garage, but we're pretty close.
Good times!

I get you, I worked on planes and It's kind of messed up how you can be doing one thing for the military and have absolutely nothing to show for it except a generic pat on the back when you get out, "good job" doesn't put food on the table.
Creator Patrick Ciraco on June 19, 2012
:-) Looks like the place could do with a paint job too... glad to see things are coming about, looking forward to the swag, but really looking forward to the Online approach. Cheers!
Creator James Ward on June 19, 2012
If only I had my network certifications, I'd be signing up for a netoworking job here too! Have all the experience with the military, just no certifications to show it :(

Dell rack in place, love the wires hanging down from the moved over ceiling panel ... ah the memories of my startup days. Mind you we didn't have a rack, that was several years later :)
Enjoy, keep the energy flowing, looking forward to seeing the results of all the creativity!
Creator Churlspain on June 18, 2012
THIS is what I always felt that the internet could do. Let people come together in a virtual world and create real world content. I am REALLY excited to be taking your first steps with you. Great Luck in our adventure. Churlspain.

One step closer to them posting hiring signs, so I can see if they need a server engineer...

A lot more space than my garage but you could still move in if you like! We will get you IV bags of MT DEW for the programmers or do you think caffeine patches would work better?
Creator Jonathan Cary on June 18, 2012
Gotta start somewhere. Has to be better than the start for Organized Play :)
Creator Daniel Auchenpaugh on June 18, 2012
You know, if you wanted some volunteer help building desks and moving chairs around, I'm sure there are some backers that work in Redmond who would much rather be free labor than fight afternoon traffic back across the bridge...

Rock it!
