We are looking for a programmer to help us out with a short term project (9 months) approx for a real-time-strategy game. If any of your are interested in working on this, email me at ode1979@hotmail.com, and please include your past experience and how much you are looking to be compensated for your time. Thanks --C

And give more detailed info

Okay, more details...

This is a paid position. You will be paid during and after the project. The amount will be negotiated based on your skills, experience, time commitment (preferably full-time), and enthusiasm. We are making a Real-Time strategy game similar technology-wise to Age of Mythology/Age of Empires. You will be working with one other programmer, 1 artist, 1 level designer, and 1 storywriter. This project is funded, and everyone is being paid. (I have to say that because most of the projects announced in these forums are not) I can''t say any more without a signed NDA on your part.

Req:
Solid... and I mean solid, prepare to be tested C/C++ knowledge
Some professional programming experience
Lots of experience playing video games and a strong desire to make them
Basic understanding of DirectX
The ability to produce large volumes of code in a short amount of time (there are developers that can talk up a storm, have great resumes, and can''t actually sit down and write a program)
Excellent communication skills

Preferred:
4+ years of C/C++ professional (you got paid) programming experience
Local candidates to Southern California area
Assembly language experience
Game programming experience (hobby or professional)
Understanding of AI concepts (flocking, triggers, patterns)
