If that candidate can persuade the hiring manager that she'll be able to do the job we're hiring for and that her other job isn't directly competing with us (e.g. working for another game studio at the same time), then everything should be fine.

For Creator 2.x versions, would it be sufficient to just modify the NDK build version and recompile to support this change, or is there additional work required? If an update is needed for Creator, is there a timeline for the corresponding support plan? By the way, we are currently using version 2.4.11.
