Technology Developers

The Shadowrun Awakened Game Engine Development team is a dedicated group focused on creating a robust canvas for our game world. We work on both client, server, and their tools. Each member is specialized by their individual skills; however, there are no hard limits on where a developer can contribute. Our system will ultimately including the convergence of state-of-the-art graphics, scripting, physics, artificial intelligence, and high performance networking. We are also a learning-centric group where everyone is ready to discover something new.

Shadowrun Awakened Game Engine Development is looking for developers with some or all of the following qualifications:

• Expertise in C++ in a Windows environment, preferably with Visual Studio
• Knowledge of networking technology

We will be using OGRE for graphics, QT for our cross-platform development framework, PhysX for collisions & physics, and FMOD for sound & music. Visual C++ Express is our preferred IDE. Knowledge with these specific technologies would be helpful, but not required.
