Hello, I'm an experienced software engineer with over 12 years experience working in web development, mobile, and windows apps. For over the past year and a half I've been learning everything I can about game development because it's a passion of mine. I think I've learned enough to become at least intermediate level as a game programmer and 3D modeler. I just want to join a project with other people who are interested in the same thing. I can only make so much progress by myself I've realized. My ideal project would be in the fantasy or swords and sorcery genre. Sort of like Warcraft, Warhammer, Dungeons And Dragons, or even the new game on steam Valheim. I'm open to other genres as well if it's compelling enough. If joining an art heavy team I would recommend a mobile idle game where people get random characters and level them up and fight each other. Sort of like Marvel Strike Force. Again, I'm not doing this for a paycheck.k I realize how hard that is as an indy developer. Thank you.

Hello, You've got quite of a experience as a programmer, web development comes with its own set of challenges and networking overall can be a tough gig. I've started collaboration with my friends few months ago, we went through few design phases, even held up to single project for over a month, but all things considered we knew we would need to grow our little team. Lets do some proper introduction first. My names Kristopher, I've been a game programmer for over 5.5 years now, I'm approaching a senior position at my current job as Unreal C++ Programmer. Although I have always wanted of creating something of my own : ) apart from programming, I love writing, designing, art both 2D and 3D, together with special effects, game designing, I even had some litle affairs with music and acting, well you see why I chose games ^ ^ They are catalyst for all of these creative and technical endeavours and much more. I'm a die hard fan of oldschool rpgs btw. Planescape: Tormet, NwN/Baldurs?IcewindDale, maybe you know one called Gorasul? (that would be new) but also Legacy of Kain series, Thief, Morrowind, Gothics. Basically quirky and imagination ignating worlds, stories, characters : ) Our goal is to create a prototype for our first game, while getting funds and hopefully making a living on the way, growing both in people, ideas and scope, and finally make a bloody good game : ) we've got me for Programming/Design/3D, 2D artist (quite briliant one), other programmer 3 over 3 years of experience, and beginning Game/Level Designer, potentialy also beginging 3D modeler, we plan on expanding the team, I also do the business side, so I fight hard for every penny we can get to support our project and team on the way to release and plan ahead our marketing and financess strategies. If it sounds interesting to you hit me here and we can move further to talk some more ^ ^ Feel free to contact me by email : ) shaggyww@gmail.com In terms of UNPAID, currently we are trying to get funds to open up our company/companies, meanwhile we may get some more for growing company and when Prototype is ready in about 6 months, we plan on hitting the kickstarter : ) so there is plenty room for growth on the way and real possibilities of fair income.
