Oh wow. Not qualified myself, but looking at that job description... you'll be working with legends and creating a new legend at the same time. And you're getting paid for it too.
Man we've been waiting hmmm twenty years now for a sequel?



IainMcNeil -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (5/4/2017 2:06:36 PM)

Maybe you know someone who is! Please feel free to pass on and share :)



Riitaoja2 -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (5/11/2017 2:18:28 PM)

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.



sami heimola -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (5/12/2017 7:58:44 AM)

Btw, is this new SP meant to be commercial or just free game (like SPWAW)?

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.

Required Skills
Strong C/C++.

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.

[color=#0000CC]All interesting, but time zone alone is a huge issue.

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



Kurt Knispel -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (8/8/2017 11:38:01 AM)


And where do I sign up for Beta-testing....lol?



TerribleIvan -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (7/24/2018 7:47:36 AM)

Hello Iain and fellow SPWAW fans,

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!

"Ivan the Terrible Wargamer"

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.



Alby -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (9/14/2018 12:13:56 AM)

where's Mike Wood?

m10bob -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (3/7/2019 1:09:59 PM)

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.[:D]



bladesinger79 -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (4/13/2019 11:26:05 AM)

I can be a playtester. The only C++ I know about are my high school grades. [;)]

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.



mainsworthy -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (12/19/2020 9:11:17 PM)

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.



ArmyEsq -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (12/20/2020 8:53:16 PM)

Hire mainsworthy and lets get this show on the road already.

Mainsworthy: multi level buildings, please. And maybe less shots per turn for units.

briantmar -> RE: Steel Panthers remake needs coders! (1/31/2022 10:37:13 PM)

Has anything happened in this space with the new Steel Panthers?
