Got some news for you folks! Seems we have taken on plenty of hires onto our Staff team, some new faces and some familiar ones! This post here is our quick run-down of them!
Since rediscovering our community, Coolrock has rejoined the Staff to help out with PR and various other things. In fact, since being here he has been out on a successful hunt tracking down oldbies from all corners of the Internet! Check our Discord server and you'll see some names like steppo, drunkill, Vader6, and many others from yesteryear!
Sir_Kane has come aboard the scripts team, having done development back in the day and being on the scene for some time now. Working with the team, he is looking to do things for APB such as allowing LSTs to carry vehicles!
Since pushing our job posting for hobby programmers to join us, we have had quite a number of responses!
Damoch joins our scripts.dll dev team, offering the right amount of enthusiasm and interest in learning that we seek in our applicants.
Very soon after, we received another email application from Dghelneshi. This man has the skills for sure, and jonwil was all too eager to hire him onto the scripts and programming team.
The programming list goes on!
Mad Ivan joins our team, bringing with him considerable experience with over 4 years programming games professionally. Combined with his extensive education, Mad Ivan more than exceeds our qualifications and we're all too happy to have him aboard! Fun fact: He and Eggman891 know each irl and at work.
Scorpio9a will be joining us as well! He wrote RenegadeEx and various other network patches for older C&C titles to help them run on modern OSs and will be having a play at our code.
In his oldbie search, Coolrock brought along TheKGBSpy, who had previously worked on his own Renegade-to-RA2 project; Red Alert 2: Vengeance and has also done work Tiberian Sun: Reborn. He will be joining the scripts team and may become a contributor in the future as well.
Lastly on the latest scripts hires, Nexiuz will join the team! Irl friends with Scorpio9a, Nexiuz brings his knowledge of 3D math and graphics programming!
That should do it for the scripts hires, and we're still taking applications! Apply here if you're interested. You will be working with a legendary team of passionate coders and programmers, and this is experience you can use and place on your CV/résumé!
Formerly in our Modder user group, ZΞPHYɌUS has been promoted to a full Staff member! Originally a modder for Mental Omega, he has familiarised himself with our Mammoth tools and mapmaking tutorials and everything else moonsense715 has tested him with. Joining the team with full access, expect great things from ZΞPHYɌUS!
And that's everyone! For you tl;dr people, here's the list.
