   Programmer looking for existing structured team
  **edited**    Thank you for your responses. There are some very promising groups I am looking at now.***Website: ryanguthrie.com (partial)Expected Compensation: My objective is for experience working with a team, and having a finished quality game to add to my portfolio, not pay. If the game is commercial though, a contract at least would be required.Contact Information: email (ryan [at] ryanguthrie dot comPrevious Projects: Most of my experience has been business web development and server admin stuff. Game projects are a smattering of simple 2d games in C++/DirectX, XNA, Python and Java (some mentioned on my site)What I am looking for is fairly specific so please read first. I am looking for well structured, organized team, that already has an experienced lead programmer. I can work off whatever framework they have decided on. The team must have a concrete design and idea of how to get there. An existing project that has progressed to expanding the game engine would be ideal.Since my previous experience is mostly web related there would be a learning curve for me in pretty much any game project on here. Languages/Framework I am comfortable with working include:C++ DirectX/OpenGL, XNA, Python + PyGame, Perl, Ruby, and some ActionScript (worked mostly in Flex)I am myself an avid online gamer and have tested a large number of mmo's.[Edited by - Mocker on June 21, 2009 7:15:24 AM]
  Heya Ryan :-)We're working on a Python-based singleplayer RPG project. Some of our developers have prior team project experience; I was personally involved in an 2d isometric game engine creation project from 2005-2008. We're now using this custom engine called "FIFE" (Flexible Isometric Free Engine) for this RPG project. If you would like to know more about it, check out our thread here at gamedev.net:PARPG - Open source isometric 2d roleplaying gameContact information can be found there as well or simply here in case you're interested and want to know more about it.   ;  Sent you PM.   ;  If interested in joining an early-stages serious long-term team project, please consider reply here: http://www.garagegames.com/community/blogs/view/17385Or the forum:http://www.mepem.com/game/forum/thank you
