Anybody know of any game developers based in San Francisco?

[calmius]

I know there are some computer games companies that have offices in San Francisco, where I live. I'd like to find them so I could offer my help to them to develop games. I actually want to simply volunteer with my voice acting and conceptual art, I suppose there are many ones like me who want to do it,b ut I still want to give it a shot.
Any way to find companies addresses in SF?

Yup. I live in San Francisco too bro. It is a mecca of game developers and upstarts as you should know.

Electronic Arts started in Orinda, CA (15 minutes from SF). They have moved to Redwood, but that is still pretty close. I know you want GAME companies in general, but keep in mind that you may not get hired till you do some other stuff first. (specialize your skills). Pixar is located in the Bay. They have a program there, sort of like training. They hire right there and then. But, only if you are into programming or Graphics design. If you are a script writer or director, then don't bother with Pixar.

Of course most big name game co.s are in Japan, so you are looking at a limited number of options in terms of well known companies. Check out:
