Hello,

My name is Gwen and I'm a senior Game Development major at the Savannah College of Art & Design. I'm looking to collaborate with a programmer to create games for our portfolios. I have four designs in mind to work with, and I figure we can pick one to start with and see where it takes us.

— Totem - an abstract, semi-tile based game where the player has to move blocks around the board and create towers. In paper prototype stage. Has elements of Rummikub.
— A game about dissociative identity disorder (DID, or multiple personality disorder) in which the player has to preserve the core personality while discarding memories of the alters. In mental prototype stage, currently card based.
— system_fail - a completed board game (with rule set and high quality art assets) currently getting some final polish tweaks to its design. Would be relatively easy to convert into digital format. Tile based, territorial control gameplay that has elements of Tetris and Blokus.
— Up & Atom - a completed board game (with rule set and simple art assets) that would also be easy to convert into digital format. Tile based, match 3 gameplay.

Please visit my website at gwenmurray.net (http://gwenmurray.net/) for more recent projects and to view my resume.

Here's what I can bring to the table:
— creating and balancing game systems
— writing thorough design documents
— writing narrative content
— creating art assets

I would ideally like to work with a fellow college student or anyone who is interested in coding as a career. I'm familiar with Flash Actionscript 3.0, but if you're a C++, AS2, Python, etc type of guy (or gal!) then I'm down with that too. It would be cool to develop these games as Facebook applications. Right now the only way I can compensate you for your work is with delicious cake. However, if our games gather enough momentum and catch the eye of someone with deeper pockets than mine, you will be entitled to an even split of the profits. I'm also keen on entering competitions, so you may eventually have awards to bulk up your resume.

If you're interested in working together, send me an email at gwen.em+at+gmail.com with info about you and projects you have previously coded.

Thank you for reading!
-Gwen

wow, your professional, surprised you haven't gotten any replies. I might be interested during the summer break (Around X-mas time). Thats when ill have some spare time. But that might be a bit too long of a wait. Do you have any plans for a web browser game ?

Hi - I also posted this on another forum so I did end up getting some replies. :) I'm actually graduating in two months and have a professional job lined up, so until I settle into that position my free time will be zilch. If you'd like, email me at the address I listed above and I'll let you know when I might have some free time to work with you. Hopefully it would line up with your break.
