crippknottick Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Though I cannot apply for the job from Florida, I am happy for anybody else to have the opportunity. Everybody needs a job. That you guys can offer a full-time job just shows how far the Nexus has come along all these years. I hope you find somebody and wish him/her and the Nexus success.:) Edited August 3, 2017 by crippknottick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry a guy like that. I'm assuming everyone is just 'heads down' and that's why the news content has disappeared?Correct. Our Director of Content, Blindjudge, has been tied up in helping with the redesign and Vortex. We will resume the release of regular content once the more important tasks are out of the way.

I hate myself for asking this, but are you guys in the position to hint at an approximate release date for Vortex?

atkinscfc14 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 When can we expect vortex to be released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xybolt Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well, it is too late to change the current used technologies anyways, but that you have chosen to use Electron as a desktop platform may be more efficient from budget's perspective. Still were you guys really aware of the decision made? Electron ships with a chrome VM. So for each electron app that you have on a desktop, you have installed chrome's engine too, despite the fact that you have already a chrome browser. It's not a secret that chrome eats up your resources (especially when managing memory). I certainly don't want this on my PC. I wished that you have considered to stay at C# like the old NMM (even if that software program is not designed correctly). I have also seen the requirements. Especially the "bonus skills" section. The management has to consider if they're not picking too many technologies. Really, for server side only: Node.js + Rails + PHP. Or is node.js used for some client site tooling? I would really say "Really?" if that's the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biikaru Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 why did the mod manager even need a new name? "Vortex"? lol  "Nexus Mod Manager" name was fine & besides, it was always in beta anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canderis Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 i sure hope this exact job comes around again. I don't have enough of my Electron-based modding tool finished to show off yet! ...and I should probably finish my degree first too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
