Does anyone know any freelance programers? One of my clients is looking for a few high end people and is having trouble locating them. PM me if you know of anyone.

    Super unhelpful. This isn't a job listing and it's not a request for free work. I'm asking people to refer me to someone they know on a personal level.

    Doesn't matter. I'm a programmer and I would want to know the details before I even consider offering my skills. It's a matter of knowing I have the skills and what tasks would be requested.

    I could pm you asking for the details, but then others wouldn't know and you'd have to explain to others individually.

    Funny, I just pmed him asking him the same thing I asked him in the post.
    I am a programmer and wanted to know what set of programming languages he is looking for, what clients, what sort of experience and so on...

    For one I thought I made a mistake asking him to post all those in the request section but thanks for this Sir. Keg. :)

    Programmer is such a vague and broad term, and there's major difference between coding for a java game, scripting a game in udk, creating plug-ins/add-ons or tools for 3ds max, or creating a lighting engine from scratch. C and C++, Python, Basic, or web programming.

    I was being intentionally vague because this isn't a job listing and I did not want to lead anyone on or receive applications. That said, it's a first person shooter so I would imagine c/c++ to be appropriate and not basic. I think they are primarily looking for someone who does graphics work- potentially involving working on a lighting engine but also hl/glsl. My understanding is that they are looking for someone high end and have the funding to pay for it- again I am not the client. I realize that the vast majority of this kind of engineering work is done in house but there are a few freelancers out there and my hope is that someone here has worked with one and can recommend them.

    Thank you for this information. I'm sending you a pm in a couple minutes.

    The client will need to be specific about what tools and technologies they want to use. For example, many programmers may be familiar with C++, but not DirectX or OpenGL, or even games.

    Otherwise your post is the equivalent of "I want an artist for my game!".
