Executive Prodcer-DUST514
CCP is looking for an Executive Producer to take on DUST 514 continued development since its initial launch on the PlayStation 3 on May 14, 2013. In a similar way as CCP made EVE Online growth and prosper for over a decade the plan is the same for DUST 514 and in a similar way as with EVE, expand platforms in the future beyond the initial PS3 version. The EP is responsible for reconciling business and creative needs to create an inspirational product with successful business model. This position will lead overall development and will work closely with publishing and operations activities for DUST 514. The EP is responsible for the overall success of the title. The Executive Producer will need to build and lead strong teams of senior people from across the project in order to develop, communicate and execute the creative vision and business plans for DUST 514. As the key business leader for the project, the Executive Producer maintains a strategic focus on the overall goals of the project and a long term perspective in respect to creativity, quality, budget and timelines.

I like the requirement for a sense of humour.

Because if you can't get the joke, then you shouldn't even apply.

For the dummies, anyone who signs on to lead this mess is just dooming their own CV later on in life.

Good one CCP!

Matters how much freedom and authority they have. It looks more like a win win to me.

Phoenix from the ashes or Made the best of a bad situation instead of an easy cushy move.

Its like taking Command of a Ship with a hole in its hull with very limited staff to fix the hole.

No thanks.

Maybe Iron Wolf Saber will drink the Koolaid.

Thanks, just finished up my R+¬sum+¬

But some relish that challenge - And I dont see how a future employer would hold it against them.

who was the last EP?

Ok that is either the best thing that could happen or be the end.

Yeah CCP Jian... I was never impressed by any of his public appearances I ever saw.

Brandon Laurino

Now watch that video..

He talks about having the shallow end of the pool really shallow for new players and then making the deep end of the pool really deep for the bittervets.

Uh... what shallow end of the pool? The 9 games you get to play in academy before you get thrown into the ocean?? lulz

Last I checked CCP compensates their employees around 30-50% below industry average. So you've got an opening that requires phenomenal talent and a humble salary. Survey says only those who love CCP as they are will be contenders, hence no real change.

Ok that is either the best thing that could happen or be the end.

Honestly, the best thing that could happen to DUST is they punt it back to internal beta and work out some of the high level issues that have been neglected this entire time.

Previous occupant must have had a disagreement with IWS...

I always new there was an end game to his brown nose ways.

He wanted this job!

This is awesome news! Now before you do anything or make any final decisions you'll regret later, CCP please Contact this guy.

Lucky for you,He just so happens to be looking for a job.

Edit: Just a note, this guy did support DRM policies with the Xbox One but his reasons for doing so were noble imo. Regardless his resume speaks for itself.

Who was the old EP?

Who was the old EP?

Hey guys do I actually need some sort of experience in Developing games? Seems Like the last guy didn't so I was just wondering....

Sent in my application anyway, wish me luck friends

Dust is a joke and hence the sense of humor reference !

I just read over the posting.

I so want that job.

I'm perfect for it. I fit almost all the criteria and exceed many.

Right now I have a pretty good job but depending on what they have to offer and how free a hand an Executive Producer has, I'd be interested in moving to CCP.

Wellll,

Just by looking at things have been rollin since open beta...

Lots of changes, don't know if there is any specific direction from leadership. If I were a dev I would work on my own thing and work with the old flight plan, so to speak.

Lots of changes were coming out; however it looks like a bunch of fixes to current problems ( have to give kudos to Fox er Soxfour) as apposed to vision.

If CCP is having a quick turn with their staff then it will look like nothing is really happening.

A ship without a rudder is like a ship without a rudder is like a ship...

I don't see many devs on lately

either they are dead or

busy

bets?

Rats are first to leave a sinking ship.

Hey CCP you want to tell us something?

I remember someone in a corp meeting around fanfest talking about how Brandon coming on board was going ot help get the game going in the direction.

Obviously that was before Uprising.

Ccp get someone from DICE if you can

Yea, if they hire from dice they can double their nerfing efficiency.

With the many threads regarding certain balance issues that have gone unanswered over the past few months and the recent rumors regarding certain staff members at CCP I decided to do a bit of research to see if those rumors may be correct.

All information is available online should one chose to look through a variety of social networking sites. I can give you the start:

Gaming with DaOpa

Other than that I will let those whom are interested in this matter do the rest of the footwork and come to their own conclusions. It is not my place to declare anything in regards to peopleGÇÖs status. LetGÇÖs keep in mind that this is a game but that there are people in the GÇ£real worldGÇ¥ whom depend on this project for their livelihood and I for one am not one to make light of that fact.

Whatever way you wanna look at this it aint a good sign less then 3 months after launch

I'm going to apply as soon as I come home, I donGÇÖt have the "10+ years", but I have 22 years of gaming experience and a very high level of education in informationtechnology. I donGÇÖt think that I stand any chance, but I love to try, did it a couple of times with blizzard and bioware. Always loved the way they replayed :).

Everyone should try (a serious motivation letter and curriculum vitae) just for the experience and fun ;).

I wonder if his departure had anything to do with the directionless-developement impression we've been having? When they get a new Executive Producer will we be getting more conversations with Devs and less mushroom treatment?

Am I being too optimistic?

With nothing to show from the old guy at least the new hire can only do better. I'll pray for his/her success.

Brandon Laurino promised the vita app two years ago! Not saying I'd ever use the app but its a classic example of awful expectation management. Maybe he didn't know what his team was working on and he had bad leadership skills. Anyone know what he did before this job? On the plus side, whoever they hire can't be much worse. Alternately it sure does feel like a sinking ship at this point.

....
First question they have to fix, is this an skill-FPS or an RPG? It can't be both so which one is the "core"?

Lucky for you,He just so happens to be looking for a job.

CCP letting a Goon Help, let alone a Goon who isn't in the federation!

So I guess this thread implies that Brandon Laurino is no longer EP for Dust? Is he still at CCP? I can't find any press on this.

But still in the CFC ;)

How goes the war in the sky against TEST

Is it just me, or was the purpose of an executive producer to give the developing teams a direction??? If he left, its probably because he couldn't handle his job correctly.

I feel like a bit of a creep looking through LinkedIn, but apparently Wolfman was a producer at DICE for over 7 years. Also, Praetorian was at DICE as the lead designer on Modern Combat.

Oh wow, see this is why i should read the forums and just avoid the minefield of twats because this is golden.

So, we can deduce that Dust514 is rudderless right now, this is why decisions arnt being made and progress is hidden and veiled because it is likely that without that single lead, nothing is really being approved.

CCP as a company have failed if they have allowed this lack of a leader to be the downfall of an entire product and as someone from exec leadership in a blue chip firm, i am gobsmacked they advertised it publicly. You shake the entire confidence of a products customer base by doing this.

GOBSMACKED

(pretty funny tho - wonder what it would pay (no im wholey unqualified for this) but would assume it would have to be around the $250,000 to $300,000 PA mark with package and options......

Nah , CCP are just a bunch of Icelandic dudes looking to make a few bucks and not a serious corporation.
If this game was handled by EA lets say, it would've been perhaps the best FPS of all time, cuz the concept and potential are there, but the execution is close to comical, and that just brakes my heart ;'(

CCP you just need me and we make the game great.

Understanding my greatness, is key to making dust 514 great.

We don't know, Blam! is missing to.

Sorry if I don't know this, who's Blam!? There's alot of speculation but what causes someone to go "missing"? All of CCP goes missing during the 3 months of summer (lazy Europeans and their 3-month vacations... ), but either this job listing is looking for a "second" EP or they have a vacancy. You never post for a job that's already filled and it's never wise to keep a dead-man-walking around as they might do something to sabotage the project.

Yes it can!

Next Dust will turn into ashes before it becomes anything else.

and if any bird pops up, it won't be a phoenix, but a confused quail.


Why do we lads stay on this sinking ship, even if we have stopped playing or play only on very rare occasion?


well some one has to play the fiddle. come on boys, the band must play!

*plays the fiddle*

As many of you have seen, we are hiring a new Executive Producer for DUST 514. The job listing that was referenced in the initial comment on this thread was taken down because it had some grammatical errors, and when those are fixed it will be reposted. We have several great leads on candidates for the position and hope to be able to share good news with you soon.

I hope so too. Hopefully this new Guy/Lady will put Dust on the right track.

I look forward to having meetings with the new person and I hope they will welcome a discussion with the council.

EVE online people should make DUST 514. EVE is great; use what works.

Sorry guys but this is in Noo way good news. Quite a few people have left this project for more reasons than we can guess.

More turnover means a longer wait for worse product. Sux for dust.

Seriously another huge blow to the dust fanboi community.

Quite a few people?

Care to share your source on that statement, sir?

I think he means CCP Blam!

2 = quite a few.

I see.

Also, what data do we have to say that they left, rather than being dismissed?

We'll likely never know either way.

But, as always, it has to be rats leaving a sinking ship because being negative is more fun.
