Greetings!

As some of you may know, UWE is working hard on their next project.
No, this is not the beautiful and mysterious Subnautica, but rather a new secret project that is not yet ready to be publicly revealed.

Why am I telling you this? Because we need your help!

Currently, things are still very much in the early stages of development and we need volunteers who are willing to thoroughly test and stress the foundations of this project to make it a solid product. We also need people who can give useful feedback and feature suggestions, (that the developers are starving for) and that can work well with a team of individuals who are detail oriented. This is a chance for you - the average gamer and tinkerer - to have a large and positive impact on the future of UWE's product by helping shape it early on in its life. Help make the game you'd want to play! Hopefully this is enough to encourage you to participate without needing to tell you exactly what the project is ahead of time.. ;)

The qualifications needed aren't much, but we only need 6-8 individuals, so we'll be picking the users who are the most enthusiastic and self motivated.
Don't be disappointed if you don't make it in this round of recruiting, there will be more down the road and you will eventually see more of this project no matter what.

Here's what we are looking for:
  • An hour of your time on Fridays 1500 PST / 2300 GMT
  • Volunteers who can reliably contribute to the project on their own time throughout the week, by providing UI and editor related feedback as well as detailed bug reports.
  • Contributors with fun and unique ideas that are willing to work on or at the very least test their ideas in UWE's latest engine, Spark 2.0
  • Someone who can get along with a team of other varying individuals.


If you feel this describes yourself and are interested, please fill out our application form!
If you don't get a response in the next two weeks (November 4th) then this means you were not selected. But fear not, we'll hold onto your application and may contact you in the future.

I hope to see you on the team!

    Dispelling rumor ahead of time : This project is not NS3!

    We pulled a Microsoft. We are skipping straight to NS X: Lion Edition.

    PS - There might something hidden in the original post. Good luck to anyone that can find it!

    Despite all the whining about NS2, there is still much love to UWE for the values they show (such as gamer first and unite through play). I can't commit the time, but good luck to you all and I look forward to seeing more of the new Secret Project.

    You must be lying, because everyone knows that bees and lemon trees don't mix...

    That better be sarcasm Roo! ;)
    Just in case it wasn't:

    Those lemon trees give off 3 separate blooms throughout the summer here in California, providing an ok pollen source and an amazing nectar source.

    Definitely my favorite honey of all.

    Applied.

    Also, if it's a bee simulation game, add owning two top bar hives to my qualifications ;)

    I think I know the name of the game though :o

    As it happens there is a beehive in the roof space above a small front extension of our house. So yes, you could say I'm hiding some bees :D

    Come on @aur0n2 , I put a pun in there.

    @roobubba - dude, do something about those bees. Either poison them and your house, or go the most painful way and find the queen and move her. They shall swarm to her or she will just make a nest elsewhere and the current one will die out without more larvae. And take their honey. Roobubba nectar... mmm..

    Or call a zoo or tell someone who keeps bees and they may come out and grab the swarm - if you can get them to swarm, that is. BTW, are you talking about carpenter bees, honey bees, or a type of wasp nest? I assume not carpenter bees because they usually nest in the ground... and wasp nests are usually small.. same with bumble bees. WHAT ARE THEY?!

    They're not doing any harm there! If it was wasps I'd have had them exterminated straight away but bees are a different matter. For a while there were several bumble bees there, but predominantly they are more like a honey bee. In fact, I first noticed they were there after smelling honey in the downstairs lavatory (above which they have nested), but there are a great number of different bees and I'm not an expert like FerricPony :)

    Wow this really is off topic :D

    I'd help pt find random bugs, but I'm not sure I could do much else... plus I think I'm labelled as a troll here (for good reason, been a jackass in the past) lol and an idiot.
