Developer Resigns Via Computer Game

When Jarrard Woods decided to hand in his notice yesterday he did it in a very geeky way.

Woods, a game developer who works with leading Canberra-based game producer 2K Australia, embedded his resignation advice in a game he created which he then forwarded to his boss and colleagues.

Combining elements of his own creation, Polychromatic Funk Monkey, and the iconic Nintendo game Super Mario Bros, Woods' resignation game gave six weeks' notice and a simple farewell message.

"Thank you 2K Australia! You gave me a paycheck, an incredible project and a world-class team to learn from. But my princess is in another castle. My last day is June 5, so I can still probably sign-off with ... "

The game, which is built in the Flash format, is posted on his WEBSITE.

Woods, who turns 30 on Friday, has worked with 2K for the past 3½ years.

Lol "One More Time" is not an appropriate song to play in the background when you win the game...
