"You may work on interactivity, vehicles, AI, interface, multi-player, physics, player control...anything that has to do with core game play and polish."

As a programmer, I wish companies would spend more time actually articulating what it is they need. I see descriptions like this all the time. "We want someone who can do everything" Do companies REALLY want someone whose had experience in all those areas? Because someone like that is most likely a jack of all trades and a master of none. To me, it seems that you are either looking for,

-a specialist in a few core areas.
-an "entry level" position where someone is a fast learner and can be used to fill in gaps in several different areas.

Or am I wrong? Are there really people who are experts in AI, physics, net code/servers, GUIs, vehicles, and player control...?

After the game ships, nobody will truly care how long it took to make it, all they will care about is whether it owns or not. Only thing that might suck is that the graphics will not be on par with contemporary stuff, at least not technologically. Good art, models, animation and level design can easily make up for that though IMO. Just make it in before games like splinter cell based on UE3.0 get here.

Since this is up, we'd pretty much hire for most spots, as we need to ramp up in a few areas. Level Designers, Programemrs, Graphics/tech programmers, really good high poly modellers, etc.

If you know someone, or have a portfolio, just send it over. You never know.

is it just me or is 'duke nukem forever' the video game equivalent of guns n' roses' 'chinese democracy'?

actually the real question should be which is going to be released first, they've been in production for about the same amount of time.

In before "Work and 3D Realms = oxymoron?" joke.

It's interesting that they're looking for a senior game designer. I doubt they'd need one for DNF, unless someone quite. So does this mean that they're starting work on another project? Curious.
