(As a pre-cursor, I know it is typical that when someone lists themselves as a jack-of-all-trades that its typically a way to say "I'm not really great at anything", but please read on, as I truly do believe I have the necessary talents to contribute to any project.) Hey everyone. I used to be a frequent visitor of this site where I attempted my own project titled "Troubleshoot." While we had great success at the start, I eventually got overwhelmed with school and work and couldn't quite keep the tabs on the people I needed to and without secondary leadership, it eventually dissipated. With school for this semester wrapping up here in a couple weeks, I'll be having some time open up that I'd love to fill up by getting back into the design world. I do have a full-time job this summer, but I do have enough time to contribute what I think is beneficial experience and knowledge to your project. While I don't think I have it in me to be a sole leader in an expansive project, I am willing to step up and contribute some management experience in an assistant sense, however, this of course requires me seeing a large commitment on your part. As for what I actually do, I don't think there's really a title for it. While I am a Comp. Sci. major, don't expect much coding out of me as its just not my cup of tea. Other than that and art, I'd be willing and more than able to do anything you ask of me. As I stated, my primary experience lies in team recruitment and management as I like to think I have a knack for people. For my previous project, it took only a very short amount of time from absolutely zero content until we had a decent chunk of skilled members and concept art, and I do have several tricks and knowledge to bring this to your project as well. Of course, I'd also love to contribute on the design/writing (whether that's gameplay, levels, story, etc.) aspect of your project, and I prefer something a little on the open-ended side design wise, rather than a project in its finishing stages with nothing left to add and create. Lastly, I dabble in webdesign and management, and I'd be happy to attempt to create a temporary hub for the project, though admittedly, it won't be as pretty as a professional, it definitely gets the job done (example shown below). TL:DR Version: I'm a jack-of-all-trades skill-wise and while my previous project failed, the experience and new knowledge I now bring to the table can help any project looking to get off the ground. With all that wall of text said, here's my former project's website: Troubleshoot And the former thread: GameDev Thread Just as a showcase of what I bring to the table, I was able to commission probably 90% of that concept art for about $30-$40, where most pieces were acquired for around $5 with the most expensive being $20. Keep in mind, this was at the early most project stages, meaning I had no previous material to show, aka, given the right idea and leadership, I have the ability to make something out of hardly anything. Finally, what I am looking for: As I said earlier, I'd love it if the project was in its earlier stages and still was open to new ideas and fresh approaches. While I'm not looking to take over your project, I'd like to at least have the ability to throw in my 2 cents. As for what type of project, I'd like something ambitious, but of course, not the next WoW-killer or Final Fantasy. I personally have no interest in Puzzle or 2D-games, just a lack of interest for me, not to mention, I'd like to work on something a slightly bigger scale than that. (Not that even those types of games are easy to do). A unique RPG, RTS, Action Game, or Shooter (mods included) would likely be best, but I'm open to a pitch. Lastly, I want to work with a project leader who is passionate and committed to what they are doing. I spent a decent chunk of time writing this post, and I expect you to return the favor by respecting my time when talking with me. I'd highly prefer you be over 18 at least just as I was once in the same boat as the younger crowd, and most just really don't know what you're getting into at the stage, but of course, if you think you have what I'm looking for, don't hesitate to contact me. Even if your project is still just an idea and you haven't made any effort to put it into motion, I'd still love to speak to you as I'm a sucker for helping create new things, and honestly, if you're still reading this far into my post, you must be dedicated in some form! :D AIM: ChandlerLT2 MSN: Chandler-T@hotmail.com Hope to hear from you soon and good luck on your projects! ~Chandler
