Sr. Gameplay Programmer

jhayter - Monday, 5 December 2011 10:07

What’s It All About

You look at massively multiplayer online games as a collection of systems and code. You love watching players encounter the new features and systems you’ve written, allowing them to interact with the world and perhaps even create new things within it.  Item creation, guild systems, spells and abilities – anything the players can interact with is in your purview. During the design process you’re all about prototyping game systems, and both before and after release you want to make sure the logic on the server that governs these systems is sound.  Building upon the fundamental server architecture, you and the other gameplay programmers code the systems players will utilize over and over again.

In the end, it’s all about collecting and organizing raw, untamed data and coaxing out the most valuable information; coming up with the tools that let even the least database-savvy members of your team view the data they need to see and organize it in the manner necessary to accomplish their missions.

You love Web 2.0 applications and have a million ideas on how to create dynamic websites for MMOs. The best part of web development is the rapid turnaround: you can get new features deployed quickly and see how people like it within hours. You keep this fact in mind as you develop tools for our game designers, allowing them to decipher what’s happening in the game, and for the rest of the team by providing them access to the collected data and a means to sort it into useful categories.
