Music
I specialise in music that's a little "off-kilter", a little "unconventional", a little "avant-garde" Music that wouldn't necessarily fit with standard adventure games. Consider me the Mike Patton of adventure game music

. So if you like your music a little on the strange side, send me a PM.

Story Design
I'm always thinking up crazy ideas! If you're stuck for and idea, give me a PM and I may be able to help. I could also add the plot of a game you have already begun, if that's what you need.

Voice Acting
I'll be happy to do voice acting for anyone's talkie game. You can hear me as Toxicman in Fatman, Granny Zombiekiller in Mittens Murder Mystery, as the airport security guard in eVOLVE's demo for The Case, etc.

Feel free to PM me with any acting requests. I can do a variety of accents and haven't got amazing range, but I can sure as heck try!

Hello everyone! Disco here to offer splendid services-

Playtesting
I would be delighted to play test any AGS game. Beta testers have always been a target of my envy, especially those testing games I have waited for years to be released. I have a P4 2.4 ghz with 1024 mb RAM and an eVGA e-GeForce FX 5500 with 128 DDR.

Proof Reading
Excellent spelling is one of my greatest personal assets. I continuously received 100 percent on spelling tests throughout school. As for grammar, I am in my last week of Business Communication 100 at university and have actually unlearned everything I learned in high school that turned out to be wrong.

Story Design
As far back as I can remember, I have had a bounty of ideas for original video games, television shows, books, movies, etc. and would love to bring them to the development table. My ideas range from comedic to emotional and can be adapted to most situations.

I have just begun to storyboard "the Asinine Allstars!", my real-life-inspired debut game on AGS, but earnest production is still a few weeks off, so time is not an issue. If I can be of assistance, email me at discojkay@yahoo.com

Story/Game Design
I would love to help with design and story of games. I am currently taking a writing course in high school to improve in what i love. I am particularly good at dialog (no bias in that opinion

) and I am also an avid amatuer director.
Please PM me if interested.

Tutoring
I could always help newcomers, give them pointers about what makes a good game, how to use sound and music well, how to build up atmosphere, help with scripting, graphics etc.

Playtesting
I like beta testing games. I've beta tested 'Urban Joe' and 'LSL3 Remake' atleast. I have older computer so you may want to see how your game works with older computers. And I've read that article Duzz posted, about beta testing

Music
I enjoy creating music. I've made music for 'Beyond Reality' and 'Who Wants To Live Forever?' (for example) and currently I'm working on several projects, including 'Stan & Sancho' and 'By The Sword: Conspiracy'.

Character Art
I like doing graphics, however, I'm working on several projects at the moment so I can also offer my help with character art. Especially low-res DOTT-like characters are my thing, I guess.

Playtesting
Although I am pretty crappy at games , I am offering to help beta test because I try my best to look at all possible solutions ( ie if a fish is stuck in a frozen pond you can blow up the water if it's a comedy game or you could try something to cut the ice if it's some other type of game and if there's more than one way to crack a frozen pond...well, that's even better) and love clicking randomly. *laughs*

Website Design
I have not been able to do a professional looking site yet , ( I can't do Perl ) , but if you are busy creating the game and don't want to bother with a website yourself , I can do a basic site for you , I know a bit about HTML and DHTML because I have my own website which I have worked on by myself.
I can do tables and maybe basic
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) .

Art
I have some ability in this since I've tried my hand at it and of course it's a nessicary part for quite a few things I'm interested in. It just depends on what you want.
I am not a professional but I love working with graphics.
Please consider me for some projects!

Proofreading and Story Design
I'm pretty good at spotting spelling mistakes and like others , I can help make your words "flow" better if you have problems
with sentence structure.
Although I sometimes have trouble with plots and story ideas myself , for the most part I consider myself pretty creative in this department.

Voice Acting
I don't know if merely wishing to be a voice actress would truely count as help , but it'd be cool if I could voice act for a game someday. I f you need somebody to speak a little German or Valley Girl , ect. then please consider me.
I now have some examples in case
you're interested in finding a VA.
Please email at kara_vortex@yahoo.com for them.

Other
Right now I don't really have anything to help me make music , but in the future I'd love to get the chance to make music for games. I barely know how to animate anything so I'm still learning that , sorry. I hate script coding but I'm trying to learn it. I am also still learning how to use AGS myself so I don't feel as though I'd be much help when it comes to tutorials.
I'm into alot of stuff so I apoligize in advance for any slowness on my part , so you should probably contact somebody else if
you need somebody to finish things right away.
I love nearly every genre....
please email or pm to find out what the mystery genre is.

I hope that covers all bases.

Voice Acting: My normal voice is female english and I can do kids voices as well. I've been amateur vocie acting for quite some time ( resume http://www.btinternet.com/~yukino ) you'll most likely heard me as Graham ( kid size) in the Tierra KQ2.

Moox · Sat 08/05/2004 03:31:58

Put me down for everything but scripting, music, and voices please

Peter Thomas · Sat 08/05/2004 06:10:05

MUSIC STUFF-O-RAMA! If you like your music bold and epic, with a hint of romantacism or action; or maybe a dark, bombastic overture with soaring melodies, then call me.

STORY-BOARD-R-US I'm an avid story writer, and thus - yes, I write stories. Got a problem with your plot? Need to come up with a reason why Space Commander John would ever want to combine the egg-yolk with the water buffalo whilst hovering above the Thicket of Solitude on the second Thursday of the month? I've got the answers. (seriously - I do have an answer for that whole John Space Commander issue...)

SPELING 'N' GRAMAR THE RITE WAY Obviously you can see that spelling and grammar are two things I'm quite passionate about. If you put ONE single comma out of place I WILL find it, so it's best to ask me BEFORE the game's released to the public

VOICE-A-THON I don't have my microphone plugged in at this moment (Saturday 8th May), so immediately-necessary voices can't be done, but if you have a couple of weeks to spare, I do a damn good impression of Bob from Dogma. If, on the other hand, you want me to SPEAK, I'm an 18 year old male in Australia, so you decide what voices would be good for me...

Alynn · Sat 08/05/2004 14:01:31

Hrm.... Can I offer myself to be serviced?

* Alynn thinks that would rock

Oh... scripting help... I'm decent... maybe not as experienced as some.. but I program, mostly Java... but anyway...

dasjoe · Wed 12/05/2004 13:08:26

how about an additional icon for translations? not everybody understands english that well..
and some guys surely want their games in other languages too.

Peter Thomas · Wed 12/05/2004 13:16:46

that's a great idea TK.

*applauds*

SSH · Wed 12/05/2004 13:24:36

It was so good that TK got hX to post it for him... :

Ishmael · Wed 12/05/2004 13:32:02

I ares hax0rz you know... or Peter just confused what he read

Peter Thomas · Wed 12/05/2004 13:51:42

bah humbug. I am having an extremely bad typing night.

I am tired, and cold, and alone... in the dark...

Migs · Wed 12/05/2004 23:38:49

Yeah, great idea TK/hK/Peter Thomas!

dasjoe · Thu 13/05/2004 12:16:58

here it is, my version of the "translate"-icon:

i stuck to the colors used by eric, but it's hard to see the flags in the arrows..
anyways: i like it..

btw: Migs, it's hX, not hK.

Haddas · Fri 14/05/2004 18:03:09

Yeah, yeah... Whatever hK... hK SININEN!

Ishmael · Fri 14/05/2004 20:56:04

Or if PT has a display font that has a wacky K...
