Application for Programmer

Hey! I'm an Australian based Computer Science graduate for course which had a heavy focus on game design and development.

I have had previous experience working with OpenGL systems, both fixed and programmable pipeline (GLSL), working with Cyclone physics engine, game design including balancing, incentivization, etc, as well as data modelling with UML. In my spare time I have published 3 small games on Google Play that were developed in Unity.

I was predominately a C++ programmer but after using C# in Unity for so long, I'm worried about my C++ skills and, as Unity is an easy mode engine ( doesn't even allow pointers >.> ), I also want to go into a more detailed engine. Honestly, I want to join so that I can further develop my own skills, work with other programmers, and to be apart of a large team.

You can view a little of my work at www(dot)tehanfrago(dot)com

Thanks, Tehan.

Hi Tehan,

Thanks for the application. You sound like you've got a lot of the skills we are looking for so I'm 99% certain you'll be accepted.

Jjonj (crovea on this forum), the programming team lead, should be along presently to welcome you in and help you get set up.

In the meantime you can find our codebase here

https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive

if you want to have a look around.

Welcome!

Along with what Tjwhale said, we're in the middle of possibly transitioning to a new development forum:

http://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/

If you want to join, PM me, Tjwhale, Seregon or NickTheNick your email address and we can send you an email invite.

Would be great to have you!
You shouldn't be too worried about your C++ abilities as we're using C++11 which has simplified a lot of the annoying things to remember in the older C++.

Your experience in graphics programming could prove quite useful as that's partially what's slowing down the project at the moment, if that's what you're interested in contributing with!

Our codebase is here: https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive and the readme should be a decent place to get started, and I'll naturally be there to help with any questions and problems!
