UPDATE:

I currently have a full schedule until around October, 2012. I'll be updating this thread as more of my time becomes freed up and as I become available for more contract work.

Thank you very much, I wish you luck with your projects!

Hi there,

I am looking to use my free time to work on game development contract projects based on Torque 3D, iTorque 2D or other technologies. I have about 4 years of Torque source development experience and have worked on many Torque based projects including:

* Gravity Bear: BattlePunks

* Bitgap Games: Meshloop

* ID-Group Huttenloher & Kutzer GbR: Unannounced Project

* Broke Ass Games: Advanced Character Kit

* Broke Ass Games: Unannounced Resource Package

* Maxim Lyulyukin: Dungeon Construction Kit

Some other projects included:

* Ports of games from TGE 1.4.0 up to Torque 3D 1.2 and many versions in between
* Creation of custom shaders
* A wide array of web based editors to aid with the prototyping of game content
* Web based cloud server infrastructure administration interface (Bitgap Games' internal adm hub, details only in private)
* Windows Phone based cloud server infrastructure overseer app (available in the Windows Phone Marketplace)

I have exceptional experience with cloud computing, network protocols, MMO and multiplayer / online game development, interface design, C++, TorqueScript and a wide array of web technologies among others. I am an author on SEO best practices. I am a registered App Hub developer and about to become a registered Apple developer. I have some experience with XNA for Windows Phone, no experience with Objective C and significant HTML5 / canvas experience. I also have a firm grip on Wordpress (PHP), jQuery, JavaScript and PHP among those that might be involved in the process of developing a game.

I can lead or be a part of a team remotely, but also love doing work solo. I have the following platforms at my disposal: PC (Windows Vista 64 bit, Linux), Mac (iMac 10.6) iOS (iPad2), Windows Phone (HTC Mozart and HTC Radar). I live in Budapest, Hungary, Europe in the GMT+1 timezone. I have a wife, two kids and a dog. They make a pretty good QA team.

I am only interested in contract work. No royalty based projects please.

Contact me at konrad AT konradkiss DOT com or konrad AT bitgap DOT com.

Thanks for considering me for your project! :)

Konrad

Hey Konrad,
I'm going to send you a email soon but I could most definitely use your help with a few projects. One thing I was wondering a head of time is what is a normal payrate and how you would prefer to be paid bi weekly, weekly, monthly? Also the method paypal, etc, etc. Thanks I hope to hear from you soon.

Hey Kory,

Thanks for the reply. I'm flexible when it comes to either the method and the frequency. PayPal is fine. I am comfortable with being paid hourly for short tasks / consultation, but weekly / bi-weekly / task based payment also works.

Let me know in your email what you'd prefer, describe my task - and I'll give you a fair quote.

Hi Konrad,
I hope you can help me with merging most of T3D 1.2 and TGA 1.8.2 add-ons into two best of all versions including Internal Webkit support.
I have a flexible time schedule and a fixed price per task using oDesk.com and PayPal.com ...
