Spring RTS Engine

the problem is that this is a all to often one way road. You want to get employed, sign that nda right over there, no open sourcing more for you chap, cause you ll be leaking company secrets then. That's an exceptionally unfair characterization. We're not a paranoid or asshole company that automati...

I too think that headhunting devs from a long term, small, open source, volunteer driven project is inappropriate. If you want me to leave, delete the thread, promise not to hire any Spring developers just let me know. I don't want to be inappropriate or disruptive. if your employer wants to headhu...

Consider hiring one part-time US developer who can then act a a proxy and delegate tasks either to us or like-minded people you come across, wherever they are. Likely better results, possibly cheaper, and communication should not be an issue as long as you avoid Asia. Not sure that's possible for t...

Not that I am an engine type, but it may be good to make a new clearer post taking into account what has been discussed, what you are looking for, whether or not internationals are an option etc. We are seeking to hire one or more developers to design and develop a RTS game engine for initial use o...

Well, once you release the game to the public, all* of the code must be open sourced (GPL2 or 3 iirc). I agree the GPL license is a problem here. But that's ok. I was leaning towards creating an engine from scratch because of the unique features it needs. The main problems, or lack of motivation fo...

Eliminates all current (and past?) engine developers

There is a possibility a highly qualified non US developer could be paid to design and develop a game engine. It will be much harder for me to justify it to management. Sorry I didn't create the rules.

The nature of your project may require the developer to leave the community. I appreciate your concern. But there is no such requirement. My employer does tolerate employees working on related personal projects or contributing to community projects as long as everything is disclosed properly and ab...

I think that's a stretch. Maybe. But I find it odd that both Android and iOS each support only one primary development language AND only one primary OS/GUI API. (Android NDK is a partial exception) Compare that with the number of languages and OS/GUI APIs one can develop for with Linux and MS Windo...

Coming to cherry pick a small community. I think it is pretty lame. I think someone from a small community getting paid to do what they enjoy is a good thing! you might want to clarify whether you would sponsor a Green Card for applicants willing to move stateside Sorry I don't have the answer to t...

Unfortunately this eliminates almost all spring developers.

That is indeed highly unfortunate. But I don't mind donating more to Spring in return for helping me find a US based developer.

I'm not a spam bot. Sorry I prefer not to mention my employer's name in a public forum. I'm happy to speak privately. EDIT: And I'm willing to support Spring Engine with donations as a thank-you for helping me get the word out. If my use of this forum is innappropriate, then I am genuinely sorry and...

My employer and I are seeking to hire a highly experienced software engineer/developer to develop a unique 3D RTS game engine. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I apologize if this message is inappropriate. I thought about posting it here because of how impressive the Spring Engine appears...
