¿Tienes manejo en CryEngine o Unreal Engine? ¿Has programado algún juego que haya salido al mercado? ¿Has formado parte de algún equipo de desarrollo para alguna compañía de videojuegos durante más de 5 años? Si reunes todas éstas características, estás de enhorabuena.
Resulta que Microsoft Game Studios (MGS, como quiere que le llamen), busca programadores y desarrolladores para sus nuevos proyectos basados en Natal, el sistema de captación de movimientos de Microsoft.
La oferta de trabajo la podéis encontrar en la web de Microsoft, y la verdad, es bastante normalita, no hay unos requisitos especialmente difíciles, todos hemos publicado algún juego alguna vez… ¿no?
La verdad, es que he puesto ésta nota como curiosidad, pero sí es cierto que, apenas 3 semanas del anuncio de Natal, ya se está empezando a enviar los kits de desarrollo a las empresas, y a contratar gente para los primeros videojuegoos basados en ésta tecnología.
Os dejo con la oferta de trabajo, y el enlace por si os queréis inscribir:

No Strings or Controllers Attached. Introducing Project Natal, a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun — the only experience needed is life experience.
We are developing interactive and creative content for Project Natal. If you would like to be part of our internal development team then please keep reading. We are developing a studio from the ground up, made up of some of the industry’s most creative, innovative, and technical minds.
Would you like to work on a next-generation project, built from the ground up in MGS? We are building a NEW GAME STUDIO from the ground up that will revolutionize both WHAT you play and HOW you play. You have the chance to get in on the ground floor and work with professionals responsible for some of the industry’s greatest innovations to date.
We’re looking for strong developers with a great track record, people who can learn quickly and come up to speed with the latest generation technologies such as the Unreal Engine or CryEngine. Direct experience with these is not required, but being able to ramp up quickly is.
This position requires 5+ years of development experience, including shipping at least one product. Candidates with game experience are preferred. Experience with C/C++ and multithreaded code is essential, and exposure to console development or common gaming solutions strongly preferred. A BS or MS in computer science or related discipline is preferred.
We’re building a new team, so we’re looking for a wide array of specialties: strong math, physics, AI or networking backgrounds are all welcome.
The ideal candidate will be highly flexible and self-motivated, with strong communication skills and a passion for games, able to work effectively with other disciplines and external development partners.
