Week Six: It’s the little things!

Hey, welcome to Week Six of the Atom Split Games Blog, thanks for stopping by! :)  If you haven't read any of our previous Blogs then you can find them all here. You can also find us on Facebook, Twitter, Four Square & Flickr.

There's a tiny bit of good news in the Atom Split office this week! We've finally managed to get our whiteboards mounted on the wall. It really can be the little things that make a lot of the difference! The white boards are essential in helping us to map out every aspect our projects. This is what we have so far...

Here are some pictures from the whiteboard for your enjoyment. (Please note, enjoyment is not guaranteed)

We were excited about the whiteboards!! Don't you judge us! :P

Now that the Whiteboards initiation process is over we will be stuffing those boards full of code, plans, maps, secrets, a lot of squiggles and probably a farting bum...

Week Five: Atomic War!!!

Hey, welcome to the 5th week of the Atom Split Games Blog, if you haven't read our previous blogs you can read them all here. Don't forget to Like and Share us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and wherever else you see us!

The new office is treating us well so far, everyone is just about settling in, there has been no tea spillages, broken chairs or unwarranted balls of wet paper hurtling through the air towards anyones face, so that's a plus. Outside of the office though, it has been a completely different story. It's been all out war....well, an Airsoft war. Last Friday we went to the National Karting Centre in Limerick.

We were told that some of us would not survive and even if we did survive, we would eventually turn on each other for more of those little plastic BB, pellet things.

The following images are real and have not been photoshopped or altered.....

The Atom Split Team, during our Airsoft War on Friday. It was painfully fun.

We actually really did go to Limerick to do Airsoft but unfortunately, our photographer was gunned down in an ambush, he suffered severe pelleting to his camera button pressing finger and was unable to capture the Atom Split Airsoft War of 2012. In the picture below you can see some of the marks that the Airsoft Pellets left.

They look a lot worse than what they are!

Martell would make a great hand model if he didn't have so many Airsoft scars! :P

When the cracking of the bullets stopped and the smoke settled there was a winning team! We're not going to brag, but let's just say that the Red Team happened to not beat the Blue Team. Maybe next time.

Outside the National Kart Centre on Friday. We have all aged so well...

Remember we’re still on the look out for Digital Art Interns, we've had a great response so far, so thanks to everyone that has applied. In the meantime, if you know have any Artist friends that are interested in joining us then send them our way! Plus it's getting close now to the launch of our website.....tell everyone about it!!  That’s about it for now, thanks for stopping by! Until the next Blog.

Atom Split Games are looking for Digital Art Interns!!

Atom Split Games is a Games Development company based in Thurles, Co. Tipperary. Our current aim is to create a wide range of story and situation-driven games for different mobile platforms and to provide a new, interactive gaming experience for our customers.

In order to give our customers the best experience, we need to blow their minds. That’s where you and the other artists come in. We need interns that are digitally based and proficient in programs like Photoshop, Coral etc. We have a head artist on board already and his art style is perfect for what we want to convey in our games.

Your duties will include helping the artist, initializing character sketches, cut scenes, character sprites, backgrounds, in-game props, title scenes and anything else that’s needed for the game.

If you’re interested, please email:
