Dead State Help Needed

Have you done a little modding on the side, created a Neverwinter Nights module or three, or even tried your hand at recreating Ultima IX in your basement as it should have existed? Then you’re probably just the person that DoubleBear is looking for in their “help needed” post to the official Dead State forums:

We have very little funding work on the project ranges from contribution for credit in the game to payment after the project comes out (for the long-term members of the team). This is not likely to change, so this is NOT a full-time job with a salary, though if the game does well enough (and we like your work) it could lead to paid work on future projects.

We’re not expecting full-time hours attitude, efficiency, and reliability are key. We’re looking for team members that can complete tasks they’ve agreed to take on within a reasonable amount of time and communicate their progress to the leads. Professional discretion about your work is expected. Working well with the team is a must.   

For programmers:
We are primarily looking for someone with game programming/scripting background. Knowledge of Torque 3D and TorqueScript is highly preferable. You will be working with the Lead Programmer and Project Lead on most of your tasks.

Tools Programmer – Developing tools to make implementation of content easier. GUI work a big plus.

Examples of tool duties:
-Script Editor

-Art implementation and lighting tools

Scripting Programmer – The scripting programmer uses the engine’s scripting language to create scripts for dialogue (a lot of these), for events/event triggers, time passage, tracking stats, and bark text.

Examples of Scripting:
