Hello everyone
After being in the educational game world for 2 years, I have decided that I'm going to try to go freelance! I'm available for contract work starting soon. I would also be willing to consider employment offers for any company willing to hire me for telecommuting (or in-office work in North Carolina around Greensboro). I am a capable Torque Feature Programmer and have worked on three published Torque based products Viral Journey, Western Civ 102 (Greece), and Western Civ 102 (Egypt).
I am also the developer of the Clothing System that will soon be available for commercial release. You will find a good portion of my resume below.

What is your average going rate for Freelancing? I'm in need of a scripting guy/programmer for my upcoming game Blood Arena, a Q3A like game but with a lot more stuff... something like a Q3A meets Quake Wars together. I know I'll need a scripting guy for at least a few things in the game and maybe a coder to add some things to the TGE engine. I want to use TGEA but not a complete in my learning curve of it yet so working in TGE 1.5.2 so far on it. Drop me a post here or in email at dlstorminc@yahoo.com. Thanks for your time man, looking forward to hearing from you.
