Experienced Game Programmers - Read

To whom it may concern, I''m a experienced Team Lead, Programmer, Software Engineer and Analyst. I''ve worked on the full life cycle development for many applications. Now, most of the ppl that post here (no offense) are posting with this statement, "I have a cool idea for a game, need programmers artists". Thats not gonna work. Anytime you build an application you need to design it first before any code is laid down (you don''t just "wing it" and hope that at the end when all the pieces come together it will just fit). Thats why I have yet to join any projects posted on this board (mainly because they won''t make past a month or two). I''m willing to work on open freelance stuff, but I want to know someone competent is running the show. I could do it or someone with more management experience can do it too. I just wanna get my name on stuff as I''m sure some programmers here do too. Well, I''m done ranting. If you feel the way I do E-mail me and we''ll see what we can get put together. Hopefully some good comes of this post. I know a lot of you feel the same way I do. -Stykes
