   Game Design Proposal
  Hello,My name is Mark Sedwick. I'm a recent member of GameDev.net and an occasional visitor here.I am the Art Director of a development group, which is currently developing a 4X science fiction computer game. We are in need of a programmer who is capable of or familiar with Game Programming. If interested, I'd very much like to have a discussion with you regarding the possibility of enlisting you to assist as a member of our development group.I want to let you know, previous to your deciding whether to respond, that our group is not financially backed at this time, but we have a plan in place to connect ourselves with a publishing group prior to the completion of the game. This gives us a freedom to develop the game without time constraints, but also means we are not able to pay any of the members of the development group prior to the game's release. At that time, we are uncertain how much money we might earn. The members so far are working on this game out of dedication and a passion for the project. We intend to see that all involved are financially rewarded for their efforts. In the meantime, we can promise that with the game's release, all the members will be listed as the development group with equal credit for each contribution.If you are interested, please contact me by email or yahoo messenger (the_black_knyght@yahoo.com). I would love to give you more details about what we are looking for and hope that you will give my proposal full consideration.Best regards,Mark Sedwick   
  Game Design is not really the appropriate place for your post Mark, so I've moved it to Help Wanted. You will likely want to take a look at the FAQ there to make sure you attract the best candidates.   ;  A quick note to all - We managed to get the talented programmers we needed, so this opening has now been filled.I wanted to take a minute and say "Thanx!" to all who responded so kindly to this post, and we appreciated your efforts, consideration, and politeness. Although we ran into some ugly issues with one forum, this one was wonderful and the response here was terrific. Well worth the time spent here.
