As you folks know, I'm a big fan of NS4... I was a player for a few years, then joined the staff over three years ago. I've poured countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears into this game, and its for this reason that I'd like to find a replacement as I begin the process of stepping down as lead dev.
I simply can't dedicate the amount of time I'd like to anymore, and I'd like to see new, fresh content be delivered to NS4. So I'm looking for a new NS4 dev who has the skills, time, and cooperation to do this. An NS4 dev should have decent programming and database experience. Someone who's always thinking about exploits as they're designing a new feature is key... since you guys are all cheaters!
....Additionally, there might be a large learning curve, so be prepared to spend a lot of time just ramping up and getting used to the tools and scripts. We need a dev who isn't going to go missing in the near future, but is dedicated to NS4, and is in regular discussion with the staff through the forums and IRC. Finally, we need a dev who's a team player... its one thing to get a bad DM on the team (we've had a few over the years), but its quite another to get devs who consistently goes against the will of the admins, DMs, and other devs and makes lots of unappreciated changes. I've had ideas shot down by the rest of the staff, and that's just the way it works.... in other words, we don't need cowboy developers.I've been looking through the change log from the past three years and reminiscing of fun updates, big fixes, and huge mistakes... it's been fun.
