  *** TEMPLATE - Please copy & paste to retain bold/formatting ***Looking for a programmer for 2d action based gameTeam name: TrixanTreatsProject name: UpwardsBrief description:I developed the concept about 10 years ago and have tried with my very basic BASIC to develop the game, and need a lot more expertise (that’s where you come in).I don’t want to give the concept away, because I believe that this game is sufficiently different from all others that the concept may be copied.An analogous game concept:Essentially it’s a 2D game, which if you can imagine a chess-board, and each square has its own characteristics. The player has 5 pieces, but depending on the piece, and the square that the piece is moved to, the parameters of how long the piece can stay on the square change. So there is a timer for each piece, which counts down based on the parameters of the square it is on. And of course the pieces can only move in certain ways.My game concept is not “Chess on Steroids” as described above, but the conceptual requirements are the same.I need someone who is able to help with the technical solution and programming to do the following (‘cause I can’t), but I have a very good idea on what has to be done:1: The five pieces can only move a certain distance from each other2: The pieces are linked graphically to each other (I had to resort to trigonometry to get the linking lines drawn)3: We need to be able to drag and drop each of the pieces (within their movement limitations)4: Each square should have characteristics that define how long a piece can stay on the square5: There should be a timer for each piece which adds to the net time left before a move has to be made.6: There is some graphic art requirement but it’s not particularly onerous. We also need each piece to have some animation, but again not onerous.That’s about it conceptually – obviously more detail to follow once we hook up.Target aim:I approached a game maker, who couldn’t take the project on because they had another biggie on the go. However, they had difficulty picturing the final result, so I first want to develop a demo. I believe that once people have seen and played the demo, I will be able to get backing. I was a CIO and am now in business/IT consulting so will be able to do the business case / business model professionally so we have a good chance of getting backing. Alternatively we might go the Indie route – it all depends.Compensation:I am looking at commercialising the game and need a good demo at least. If there are commercial benefits, I’m looking at a very definite profit share with the programmer.Technology:The programmer chooses their poison. Probably C++. I doubt if an engine is needed.Talent needed:1 programmer who is able to show me some samples of what they have done. The choice of tech / language will be theirs.Team structure:This is a relatively small project – get a demo together.It may become a big Indie type project dependent on how it pans out.I’m looking for 1 programmer (maybe 2 if there are good responses).I’ll project manage, and provide the concept and design principles. I will also do the commercials, get backing etc.The programmer will have to sign an NDA (Non-disclosure agreement) and will have to commit to the whole project.Website:NopeContacts:terryw@marketworks.co.zaPrevious Work by Team:NoneAdditional Info:Sorry nothing to show. I have a number of design templates etc. but they are still too draft to publish.Feedback:I’m looking for someone who has fairly good skills, and can contribute to the idea and do the programming.    
  Email SentNice plan by the way; I like it and will totally agree to help you any way I can
