Richard Garriott gaming startup adding jobs, moving downtown

 Garriott gaming startup moves, will add staff

Social gaming company Portalarium, which was started last year by legendary developer Richard Garriott and partners, has moved to a downtown office and is hiring additional staff.

The company recently moved from its previous home on Garriott's property along Lake Austin to a 1,400-square-foot loft at 704 Congress Ave.

The 12-employee company is hiring for six positions, including web programmer, environmental artist and graphic designer.

Portalarium launched two card games last year on social networks and plans to roll out a collection-based game this summer. Garriott has announced plans for a return-to-form role-playing game in the future.

Portalarium, which raised nearly $1.2 million in angel funding last year, is also in the process of raising a second round of funds.
