Hello Mark,

My name is Chad Freseman I am the designer and project leader of Sixth Extinction.

Sixth Extinction is a Proof of Concept Multiplayer PC Demo for a 3D Modern Military RTS Game. This demo will be used to gain a publishing deal to lead to a full production retail release of Sixth Extinction.

Ok, I gather from your post that you have a great deal of experience and are looking for paying projects to be involved with.

Would you or any members of your team be interested in participating in Sixth Extinction as a side project? We are coming up short on the programming side of things; our lead programmer is extremely talented but without additional programming support the graphics are getting way out in front of the code side of things.

I can provide you with a download of the game in its current state. And invite you to have a conversation with our lead programmer so you can evaluate his knowledge and ability to lead the programming of the game.

Thank you for your time and response,

Chad Freseman

καλημέρα =)

...or in ASCII - "kalimera" ;)

I am indeed working from Corfu! I've been here nearly 4 years now - I used to live in the UK.

I'm interested in any project, big or small, but only paid-for work I'm afraid. Got to keep the bank manager happy! :D

Hello Mark,

Any chance you have experience with any of the fighting/wrestling projects during your time with THQ and Eidos? We are in the market for a freelance programmer with such experience.

Hi Dave,

Sadly, no experience with fighting games. I think the last fighting games I played were Way of the Exploding Fist and Barbarian II on the Amstrad 664......
