Wanna Work for Dave Taylor & American McGee?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who-wouldn't-dig-that-job dept.

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.

    Check the Jobs link. It's not asking for teams, it's asking for specific things like "Lead Developer", "Lead Designer", etc. That's not asking for teams.
