Dear Sirs,

For the realization of casual game projects I am looking for game developers in romania, who are interested in a long-term cooperation.

I am looking for individual programmers, as well as teams and companies.

Planned is the implementation of game concepts which are provided by me. Allthough the games are aiming for the casual market, the concepts are not at all clones of existing products (no „match-3“), but innoative and original designs, and should also appeal to core- and ex-gamers.

At first, there are three games to be developed, which means that possibly multiple developers or teams are contracted.

Interested indiviual programmers will be provided with art assets, whereas independence in working together with the respective graphic artist(s) is required.

For a personal meeting, talks in detail, and contract closure I will travel to romania. Of course meeting in vienna is also possible if you want.

I am looking forward to hear from you!

Best regards,

Alexander Schilpp

Hi. Do you have any website ? Or a link to some sample work of yours ?

(Cristy, tu esti mama ? )

No way! crysty can NOT spell that much correctly

Hi Ovinet,

I am not offering any services anymore, so I don't have a website with samples of my previous work. I have worked for about 7 years at IBM Austria as an "IT/Specialist", which is some kind of Analyst/Programmer/Software Architect. I got into project management during this time as well.

Before that I was self-employed and working mainly on database driven websites (e,g. www.heineken.at, www.bacardi.at ). For these projects I was the consulting agent and created my own team, which I lead and paid myself.
With casual games I plan to do the same.

Since for casual games there is no contractor who gives you money for a project, I will invest my own.

Also at the moment I am creating a sales site for casual games with an austrian team.

what kind if technologies will those casual games employ ? (DirectX,OpenGL,Flash, etc.) ?

nekitu, I think it would make sense to use an existing 2D engine on top of directX (or openGL), e.g. popcap's framework, playfirst's playground SDK, PTK, or some open source framework. one of the games will be 3D, probably an engine like ogre3D should be used. but in the end this will be the developer's decision.

Hi Alexander. What can you offer? And what are your expectations regarding to the work your future employees have to do? Can you please provide more details? Thanks.

Hi Puppet Master,

I am not looking for employees, but for contractors (freelancers) for developing casual games.

It doesn't matter if you are dedicated hobbyist, a student working part time, or a self employed programmer, but I expect professional attitude, and a highly polished and playable end result. Look at www.bigfishgames.com for examples of top casual games.

It is an option to go full scale after the first few projects, and thus found a company together, but as said before, the first "test run" is freelance work.

I've tryed to contact you, both on mail and skype, however, no response.

I found your email from yesterday (Jan. 4th) in the spam folder, don't know why it got there. As for skype, I think your are Cosmin? I confirmed your contact request and got no further messages. I send you a message but please keep in mind that skype only transmits messages when both users are online at the same time. Also message you might have sent _before_ I confirmed you, were probably blocked.

Edit: typo

Yes, it happends to me often to get important messages in my spam folder, and that's why I've posted my previous message

Hi c0mas,

it seems like I chat messages via skype don't get through to you. I think you are "S. C." on skype. I see you online right now.

Also I said last week that a found a mail in the spam from you. I talked to the guy, and he said he said he is not "S. C." from skype. So actually I haven't received any emails from you. Please resend!

Hi! Do you need only programmers or artists too ? (i'm interested if you are looking for 3d artists, as i consider myself one)

Hi thorin13,

thanks for your interest.
Yes I am also looking for graphic artists, 2D as well as 3D. Please send me some samples of your work via email!

Regards,
Alexander
