Hey, programmers

[gilana]

Anyone intersted in creating a video game with my fiancé?  He's looking for someone proficient or willing to learn XNA, which is Microsoft's tool set for Xbox Live arcade and indie games. His understanding is that it's essentially C++ based.

He's got the storyline, he can get artists and musicians, but apparently nobody he knows is willing or able to create a game. It'll probably be rather a lot of work, but I'm told some of the best games on Xbox Live arcade are low-budget games made by small teams.  So if this is something you're at all interested in, or know someone who is, and you have too much spare time on your hands, let me know! :)

If I had spare time and an Xbox I'd be interested :-\

Matt Kimmell has the skills, but he's super-duper busy right now. That said, he might be able to suggest some people for you.

This is sort of like saying "Hey, I have this great idea for a book! All I need is someone to write it!" If he's willing to pay someone for the work, he should have no problem, since there are an awful lot of freelance programmers in the area, but on a volunteer basis, he'll have to be outlandishly charismatic and convincing.

With that said - Boston has a thriving independent game developers community, and I highly recommend http://www.bostonindies.com/ as a great place to find contacts.
