Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee?
The well known former Id developers are starting a company to develop a
shooter for the X-Box. They are looking for programmers, artists,
level designers, and producers, but only if you're in, or willing to
move to LA. If you think you're right for this one, you should
email Dave.
Before getting too excited, check out their website - they are looking for development teams, not individuals. Sending in just your CV probably isn't going to get you very far!
However, there is actually in interesting story here - the whole idea of there being a third party connecting the money (publishers) with the developers, but controlling the design and management on the project seems to be quite different to how things currently work in the games industry.

Smoothwall was already free. It's principal author, despit his talent, seems an insufferable prick, and although I don't use either product, I hope IPCop drives him straight into bankruptcy. And no, I'm not giving him my "address of service."

They're for McGee's take on Oz, as in The Wizard of... No I'm not guessing because of the picture of the flying monkey. I'm interested to see what he does with it. Looking at the website itself, it's a hard guess to say whether or not their approach to development teams are similar to Lionhead's or what my own company is doing - in that the studios operate independently of the publisher. (In this case, C6) It looks like C6 wants to micromanage each devteam they acquire, so that they have a stable of folks they can milk games out of. I don't know if I approve, but it'll probably work.
