Publishing

If you're looking to have your game sold commercially, I'd welcome you to consider selling it through Screen 7. There are lots of options and if what we can offer doesn't suit you, I can also help you find an alternative publisher. Screen 7 are also happy to help designate work space for your project (ie forums) if you have no commercial goal but wish to connect your game to a small, but known studio.

Here's my 2013 commercial opportunities information:

It seems you've cleaned out the old entries, so here's mine.

Web Designer

I specialize in Drupal sites, and can give you a totally integrated forum, series of galleries, community blog posts, you name it. I can build websites to custom-fit a use case. I'm looking at expanding my portfolio, so the first couple of people that contact me here will get my services and consultations for absolutely free. You don't even have to bribe me with one of your games.

"Well now," you say casually, "what all can you make with a Drupal site?"

You can have:

-A news site
-A site with reviews of things
-Galleries
-Built-in forums (comes with private messaging, possibly even group functionality if needed)
-An events site.
-A podcasting site
-Something to showcase your game team or company
-A portfolio
-Some kind of user-generated-content thing, like "Texts from Last Night"
-A video portal featuring videos you've done.

Check out my website here.

Please note that I do have to feed myself at some point, so I can only keep this going for so long.

So wait, what do you do?
I build and design websites.

What does that entail?
Graphic design, coding, and CSS work. I can also put some jQuery and HTML5 magic into your site.

Can you do Wordpress?
I really don't like Wordpress very much, but I am competent enough to put sites together in it. However, I'll always argue to use Drupal over it, for a multitude of reasons.

If that promotional thing is over, how much do you charge?
The initial consultation is always, always free. Just private message me, and we'll set up a Skype chat or something to further discuss it. I can't realistically give a price without evaluating the scale of a project. So let's talk about it!

My portfolio covers contemporary classical, electronic, rock, funk. I am interested in game music in the styles of cinematic or electro.

I am a gamer since Amiga 500. I made an audio-game in Global Game Jam Istanbul 2012 (Watch our project). I am here for more interesting projects. You can listen to my portfolio here:

I wanted to update my ancient post, this gives me the opportunity to do so.

Translation - English to French

I am a freelance translator, and when work is slow (which is uncomfortably often if you ask me) I want to practice and hone my skills. And what better way to do it than with an AGS translation ?
I am a native French speaker and I've already translated two AGS games, both Maniac Mansion Mania episodes (9 and 53).
I can also translate from French to English and proofread your work.
For more information, here is my ProZ.com profile : http://www.proz.com/translator/1309349
Send me a PM if you're interested.

Play-testing

Not exactly as enjoyable as translation, but play-testing can be interesting.
Again, drop me a line if you need this.

Proofreading

If you need your game proofread, in French or in English, tell me what it's about and I may be able to do it.

Playtesting

DBoyWheeler · « **Reply #8 on:** 24 Mar 2012, 01:18 »

Yep, I see we're starting anew with offering of services in the forum.

Since I'm somewhat new to AGS, I may not offer much, but I can serve to aid in brainstorming, and can also serve as a proofreader. Just ask me in a private message and I can share my email address with you (if you're comfortable with that; if not, then just feel free to share the dialogue and what-not in the private message and I'll check the spelling and grammar for you).

icey games · « **Reply #9 on:** 24 Mar 2012, 21:12 »

I currently got my stuff to do myself. But I can still give part of my time.

Character Art

I can come up with characters that fit the story or you can tell me what your looking for and I can come up with something.

Take a look at these

WHAM · « **Reply #10 on:** 27 Mar 2012, 12:50 »

I can provide beta testing for games in real time.

What this means is that, if we can arrange a schedule and I am interested in your project, I can play a test version of your game while you are watching me do it and we can communicate via Skype as I play. This would allow you to actually SEE how I as a player respond to events in your game, you can get direct and instant feedback and suggestions and you can get an idea of how a player will interact with your game. I also have some experience as an AGS game developer myself, so I can give you some AGS related feedback as well, if you want.

I am offering this as a service as I have noticed that many developers (myself included) end up quite surprised with how players react to their games, and this sort of direct feedback might help many developers get more concrete feedback instead of nonpersonal written bug reports.

To get an idea of what sort of service this might be, check out my youtube channel where I have been playing some AGS games with the developers viewing the gameplay live. While these are not testing situations per-se, they should give you an idea of how this might work.

http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1110C8238BA65D7F&feature=plcp

If you are interested, feel free to contact me either via PM or e-mail at wham@whamgames.com

My services are free for non-commercial AGS games, and with commercial projects we can discuss a small fee and/or other possible deals if you are interested.

Tentacles · « **Reply #13 on:** 10 Apr 2012, 18:37 »

I went ahead and posted the services I need to get my game going, however I also have services to offer. However I'll mention up front I can't write fantasy, light or dark. I will write you a sci fi story for a video game as long as the game takes place within the last ten years, or no more than 1566 years in the future. My short stories from before are:

Time Travelers Handbook To Serial Murder
Finding Esmeralda

And then I have a comic script for an upcoming graphic novel called: Ajalla The Psycho-Telepath (This story is an exception for me, as it takes place from 1717 to 2017.)

I will write up to 3000 words, but not less than 1000 words. When you hook up, I'll give you an idea of what I want outlined from you.^_-

Will voice act for anyone I don't hate. If I say no it means I hate you.

I'm an up-and-coming music composer and I am more than willing to create custom made music for your game. I can write in any musical style and I work pretty quickly (can get out about five minutes of music a week). My website is http://blue.butler.edu/~tfrankli. I really need to be paid for my work, but I"m very flexible with payment so if you want to hire me I'm sure we can find a solution that fits in your budget!

Story Design:

I have some experience as a writer. I have published about 50 different articles (short stories included) for Valkiria.net (polish portal dedicated to generally accepted fantasy). I have also worked for Independent Publishing as a commission writer (mainly for writing advertisements and manuals but I strongly believe that it still counts as writing experience:). I can help in developing stories or even create a new one, if someone is having difficulties with it on their own. I prefer horror, post-apocalyptic and steampunk stories, can also help with sci-fi, cyberpunk or even common fantasy.

Voice acting:

I have a low and quite powerful voice. Though I have no voice acting experience, I sure can offer my services in this matter too (my friend is half-proffessional musician and he keeps telling me that I should make a career as a narrator or reader, so maybe it's worth a shot:). For further notice, apart from my native Polish, I speak English quite well.

I'm willing to help with both commercial and non-commercial projects. If you're interested in my services, just let me know and we'll discuss the details.
