Man we've been waiting hmmm twenty years now for a sequel?

Status: offline 		Is it true that Matrix Games does not have the source code for the SPWAW game anymore? And if it's not would there be any chance at you taking a look at the old code and fixing the unresponsive artillery screen? Maybe you could find something useful for the new game too in the process.

From what I have read SPWAW was compiled with Watcom C/C++ that is now also available for free as Open Watcom C/C++. In addition if a DOS enviroment is needed a PC emulator could be used.


In any case I hope you will find your programmer and can finish the new game.

Location
Remote working possible. US time zone an advantage, though an alternative is to be located in Epsom office in UK.

For some reason I don't think being 13 hours and 30 minutes or 16 hours and 30 minutes ahead of US time zones will help with respect to being remote. Bummer!

Salary
Negotiable on application.

I am not expensive to run.

Responsibilities
Supporting 2by3 to develop Steel Tigers using the Archon engine.
Engine development.
Tools and pipeline support and development.

Required Skills
Strong C/C++.
Excellent problem solving.
Passion for wargames.
Able to work well with external teams.

No problem on this one.

Useful Additional Skills
HLSL shader programming.
Tools development.

I have built a few tools for SPWAW as well as a couple of other games,e.g. ATF series, HLSL not strong there at all.


Applications Process
The closing date for applications is 31st May 2017.

If you are interested in this roll please contact career@slitherine.co.uk with your CV and covering letter.

SP has always been a game well worth paying for. We shell out hard-earned dough for much less worthy games.

Are there any updates to this thread and the development of Steel Tigers? Have you been able to hire the coders you need?

Naturally, I'd be very happy to pay for this game once it's out. Thanks for any information!

If I am not mistaken: GG and Joel Billings live in the US..

Where Matrix/Slitherine is willing to spend money on a much sought after product, I'd be willing to spend money to buy it.

Status: offline 		Very much looking forward to a fresh remake of this near timeless classic!

I still associate myself with many of the other Steel Panther crew on other forums and this game was the one which brought us all together under the Matrixgames banner.

Sure hope Matrix takes that into consideration when wondering what they might do to garner a "quick turn-around" from development to profit.

Always wanted to be a playtester just to have my name on the list of credits. I'm affordable (meaning free of charge) and skilled at writing (freelance journalist). I can provide credentials upon request.

Status: offline 		I would like a decent project to fill my time ,payment would not be my motivation rather love of this game, I have programmed professionally many years ago, which is probably an advantage with this game, and I have a list of some of my projects here https://iibbrr.itch.io/ so you can see I can do projects to the end and real software examples is better than just saying I can do it. Only IF your project has been mothballed would I be interested as I have my own methods and I am boss of my projects etc... If you are already underway good luck with it.

If you want to discus what I need to start work and what I intend to produce let me know?

Im no longer available but it was a nice idea.
