Chicago Game Developers

Sounds like you really want to post in the Help Wanted forum. Also, you will need to format your post according to a template there (read the FAQ); for that you'll probably want to provide MUCH more information. There's a plethora of projects going on -- what makes yours so much better than some other project? Nobody can tell if you don't provide some initial information, and so few people will get in touch with you.

Do not quite know what you are wanting, but I am in the Chicagoland area.

Hi Corman - thanks for your reply. It's not easy for me to describe programming details of our project, but I will do my best. I have a team of 2.5 programmers working on a 2-D game, but none of them are "game programmers." I'm not even sure what that means to be a game programmer. We started out designing this game using Torque 2D and AnyLogic - we never implemented the AnyLogic programming and eventually abandoned Torque, as well, replacing it with a pure web-based "game" using AJAX. I am just looking for some expertise out there that may be able to help us see if the programming architechture that we have is on the right track to making a real and efficient game that has some intelligence. In the absence of a game engine, I don't understand what it means to be a game. That's my struggle and, unfortunately, this is all a bit of a black box to me. I guess jpetrie is right and this thread should be moved to help wanted. Thanks.
