  • Wow if I met those requirements, I don't think I be aiming for an internship :p. Just saying...
  • What @vintar said.

    Also, based on your last 6 posts, it looks like your hoping to get a lot of interns! Do you have actual staff focused on game dev or will things be on the shoulder of these interns? Your site doesn't seem to show any exsisting game efforts.

    That's because this position is a duplicate of the requirements to work as a Senior AI Engineer at WB Games, with the 5 years of C/C++ experience and AAA-related stuff stripped out. Of course, you need all of the other skills that someone with 5 years of experience would have, but without the experience, and as an intern. Awesome.
  • And the email address is from a news portal type site....interesting

    Wow. I'm going to take a wild stab and guess that these guys have no real idea what they're trying to get done.

    @xolile - If your company is looking to make a game, you might be better off hiring a company that is experienced in making games for clients (like RetroEpic Software - where I work) to make it for you rather than trying to recruit and entire team and start from scratch. It will be overall less hassle and you'll get the product you want. Of course, budgets need to be considered in these cases.
