Subject Matter Expert for Military Games/Simulations

by John J. Szucs · in Jobs · 11/15/2001 (8:40 am) · 2 replies

Are you working on a military-oriented game or simulation? Do you want a level of realism that stands out from the crowd of "me-too" shooters, but still maintain the elusive "fun factor"? If so, I can help you achieve your goals.

Although I do not have previous military experience, I am a very serious, well-educated enthusiast. My knowledge is concentrated in modern-era light infantry and special operations weapons, equipment, and tactics. I am also conversant in modern naval and air power and on operational and strategic-level matters. All of these are proven fertile ground for very compelling games and simulations, but there is still lots of opportunity for innovation in the market. I also have access to extensive reference materials and very strong research skills.

From a technical perspective, I work as a professional software developer and am proficient in C/C++, the Win32 platform, and the DirectX and OpenGL API's. I have also independently studied computer game development (in particular, terrain rendering and AI algorithms), although my circumstances do not currently allow me to seriously pursue my own game designs.

With this unique background, I understand both the subject matter and the technology that will be used to portray it. I am open to hourly or fixed-fee arrangements, and will consider a reasonable royalty share from a serious team that has the ability and commitment to bring a title to market. I might even help out on a project "just for fun" if it catches my interest.

We at Illumina could use some sounds effects. Explosion, GUI, and misc game sounds are what we're really missing. We're all working for free, so theres no pay. If your interested, my email's in my profile.
