We have just completed another successful project for the University of East London, developing a serious game called JobApp for use throughout the University to help increase student employability.

The Flash based app features virtual application forms and job interviews, and provides candidates with feedback in the form of keyword and word count analysis and written answer guides.

Find out more and see some screenshots by visiting our Flash Games Portfolio Page.

After lots of heavy lifting and furniture assembly, our new studio is just about up and running and ready for action.

This also marks the start of 2 new members of staff joining the team – a programmer and graphics artist/illustrator.

Find out more on our dedicated studio page.

We are currently looking for a part time programmer to come and join us in our brand new studio in Longford, Coventry. The position would be ideal for a computing student looking to gain experience and earn some money alongside their studies.

Job Title: Part time programmer

Description: We are looking for an enthusiastic individual to work as a part time programmer at our up and coming digital design and development company.

The role would include various programming duties to support development of games and mobile apps. There may also be an opportunity to work with virtual worlds such as Second Life and on web-based projects.

The successful candidate will have knowledge of Flash and ActionScript.

Knowledge of iOS programming, HTML5, JavaScript, and C++ would be a huge advantage, but not essential.

Location: Our brand new studio in Hurst Road, Longford, Coventry

Working hours: minimum of 8 hours per week but likely to be able to offer an increase in hours as new projects come in

Hourly rate: £10

How to apply: Please email your CV to info@gemixin.co.uk along with details of your availability (when you’d be available to start and which days and times you could work).

We are delighted to announce that we are moving to our brand new studio space/office in Longford, Coventry on April 2nd.

The building is in Hurst Road, off Longford Road and is a listed building, yet very modern on the inside. It is perfect for what we need!

This marks the start of a new era for the company as we look to expand and take on more projects and create more of our own apps and games.

Stay tuned for new photos once we have moved in and sorted out the furnishings.

The live launch of the Coventry – 2012 Games mobile app that we have developed was a big success yesterday.

We started the day with a live interview on BBC Radio CWR with Shane O’Connor, and then moved on the Coventry Transport Museum for the press event.
