I realize this is a rather tired offering, but hey, here goes. :rolleyes:

I have put up several tracks under the "Creative Commons" license on soundclick for free commercial use. The requirement is that you give me credit.

More importantly than that though, I would like people to look at this page as an example of my capabilities, and contact me directly for additional tracks in a preferred style/genre.

As well, I have a fair amount of experience in coding. I've offered my services here previously but received limited interest.. most folks were already busy doing their own UDG entries and such. Now, with submissions to that contest complete, I am hoping that a number of people would be available to collaborate on a serious game project. I have several 'ideas', but we all know those are worthless unless a group is interested. So I am more interested in finding a broad group interest than pursuing my own ideas specifically.

I have begun work on several frameworks in Cocoa which would facilitate the coding of online, OpenGL based games. For those folks who have been around iDevGames for a while, the old relic of a program PixelEditor was my creation - it quickly became outdated and I ceased work on it. In any case, I still retain the code and of course the knowledge.

Finally - I would be able to fund servers and connections should they be necessary to complete the development of a game which I would be interested in.

I am very serious about these offers and very much would like to complete, with the collaboration of others, an excellent MACINTOSH ONLY game.

Please contact me either by reply here or via my profile email.

A couple quick additions to the above, just to see if I can possibly spark some more interest. :)

PixelEditor is NOT an example of my greatest work. It is not even close. I'm thinking maybe I have mislead several people by 'showcasing' that program... it was only meant as an identifier. Should you wish to see my code, I will be setting up a server in the very near future for public access.

(I would also like to note that SeekTech.ca, where PixelEditor is hosted, is no longer under my control. However it remains active for reasons I am unaware of.)

Secondly ... developers of almost any experience level are welcome to contact me. Artists, content creators, etc.. as well. What I am after is a group of motivated folks who expect to cooperate professionally. I will monetarily compensate any who are of great help prior to release, and all revenue/profit will be split equally post release.

Hey man, I'd have talked to you, but my only projects right now are a Nethack clone and a GUI library to supplement said game :)

[jotapeh]

Hey diordna. I've looked at your webpage and you've done a lot of similar work to what I have done in the past. If possible I'd like to contact you to discuss future collaboration - really the goal here is to make as many contacts as possible and flesh out a group of folks who have a certain degree of capability and motivation.

I do actually have a project that could use some Puzzle music.

I sent you an email but in case you read this first, I am interested in helping you out. I know some C/C++ and a little Objective-C. I'm decent with OpenGL and SDL. I'm ok in Maya and Photoshop and have access to 3ds Max 6 (via my friend the modeler).

[jotapeh]

Thanks for all the replies folks. Those who haven't heard back from me yet will in the near future, but it's getting on to 3AM here.

Daniel_Lurie, I took a quick jab at your request - please check out the music page listed above. The track at the top (aptly named "Puzzled") is my shot at something you might want. If that's the style you're after, let me know and I'll whip out a few loopable tracks for you in a similar style. If not - hey, it's all up for grabs there.

(EDIT: As per your email Daniel I have uploaded another track which I think is more what you were asking for... my apologies for being unable to email you back. I have no access to my home account from the studio where I work.)

[Nick]

jotpeh as much as I look forward to the game's completion, I am resigning from the project as it has been almost a week and I have not had any contact or input from you. I've worked on the economy for the game but as of yet cannot get any decisions from you. I've emailed you a few times and decided to post here as you do not seem to be checking your email.

[jotapeh]

You're joking, right? :blink:

I'll send you an e-mail back but as I recall the last email I received from you stated you would be out of town for a few days. I have been pulling quite a few all-nighters at my paying job as well, so I apologize if it seems like I'm neglecting this. Rest assured work is being done, and I'm actually a little shocked to see this posted here.

Anyway - I think it's a bit premature to throw in the towel, I have been working on my code and so you'll be receiving it shortly (ie. tonight or Friday night.) Please review the code before you make a final decision on this.

As well try to catch me on AIM - I'm usually online quite often.

[Leisure Suit Lurie]

I like Puzzled 2. Here's an odd request. Can you create a Honky Tonk loop? The sort of thing one would hear in a country bar?

[rossum]

I am an artist who can produce original concept art. I have quite a few ideas for some games that i think would be pretty cool. I'm not sure what type of game you are planning on making but i would love to help out on a serious project. I've done work for various people on games, but the project always fizzles out, i'm sure others have similar stories. I'm in the process of updateing my portfolio, i'm a comic book artist/ illustrator, but am looking to get into concept art for games, a juicey project to sink my teeth into will hopefully inspire some good art/storyboards for a portfolio. Sadly the only thing i have online is some sketches posted on a blog for a comic i'm working on with someone else, feel free to take a look, it at least shows my thinking process.

Nice stuff, Rossum. Do you have examples of animated sprites you've done?

[rossum]

Nice stuff, Rossum. Do you have examples of animated sprites you've done?

thanks. No like i said i'm really coming from a different medium and haven't done a hell of a lot on the computer, but i'm slowly getting into it. I'm sure i could manage it though, like anything else it just takes time.

[lightbringer]

Oh, very cool stuff jotapeh. I'd love it if you could help me out in creating the sound track for LVThree (it shouldn't be much work, it just needs to fit with the cinematics, in-game style, etc), I game I've been developing (during and now after 21 Days Later).

Catch me on AIM or e-mail me when you get a chance.
Thanks.

jotapeh, I'm working on a Mac (maybe later, Windows) re-make of a DDR-like game we wrote for the Dreamcast a few years back. We could always use more music for that thing. Anything one could dance to, with somewhat simple rhythms, makes good material for it. We'd be happy to credit you for it. Info for the old game:

Got links to any of your music that aren't on an evil popup-infested site that needs a login to download? >_< <- for the site, not you ;)

Sorry for tagging onto a bumped post but I just now noticed it...
