Need Programmer, 50/50 profit split

Hey all, I'm David Mills

I'm currently finished with 2 simultaneous game projects at the moment ( art wise, waiting on coders ) and to fill the void I had this game concept I wanna start.

Firstly, check the file here:

http://www.swfcabin.com/open/1263761924

The following basically covers overall concept, mechanics all that, but that file contains an animated demo that sums i t up pretty ok:

-Concept: A mix between a defense game and adventure type, you control a scuba diver on a team to gather treasure from the depths of the ocean.Along the way, you battle rival divers and vicious sea creatures. Arcade-like gameplay, but follows a story and jumps locales like an adventure.

-Mechanics: The only key used is the Spacebar, and the rest is handled with the mouse. The idea is the diver follws the mouse ( clicking shoots ) and you ride on various undersea vehicles to progress thru the level ( like an "on rails" sort of thing ). You defend the vehicle from enemies while it moves you through the level.

You can at anytime press SPACEBAR to pop-off the vehicle and free-swim. This stops the vehicle, and getting back on continues the ride. You would get off to collect treasure from defeated enemies and at any story points that call for it ( ie: you need to plant a charge and blow up some rocks blocking the vehicles path )

--------------------------------
Profit:

I've done a ton of games in my past, and the deal is this: 50% of the profit goes to me, and 50% goes to the coder. I handle all art, animation, sound gathering/creation, story, directing voice actors, all that jazz. Your only task is coding, making it all work right.

Check my portfolio ( including this game HERE which I worked on but sold rights to ) if your want to see past stuff.

------------
Tech stuff:

600 x 450
40fps
I use flash 8, but I'm cool with anyone wanting to do the code in AS3

Requirements:

-I'd PREFER if you had atleast 1-2 finished games, but it's not a must
-Must be able to see SOME kind of programming example to judge your ability
- Be sure you won't flake out mid-way through ( frigging hate that! )

That's basically the idea, if interested please drop me a pm or an e-mail, mine is

stabikaseries@hotmail.com

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from someone interested! :)

Aw man, scubadiving? Based on those graphics I was expecting some sort of awesome futuristic space war or something.

Awww, what's wrong with scuba diving? :P Hell I heard we know more about space then the oceans, so it's more mysterious kinda...

Well yea ( LOVE anglerfish! ) I had it planned for a later level to go ultra deep ( been kicking around an idea for a kinda bonus level where you dive in lochness to kill the Nessie ) and change the suits and all that for the pressure.

Thanks I pm'd you back. The main issue is in timeline, I want this project to have a continuous flow and consistent chatter between myself and the coder, so I would ideally be on the lookout for someone who can not go out of contact for days on end or who dosn't have a schedule that may involve test getting higher priority.

Ok, coder found, so a mod can close this if they want, thanks to all who were interested!
