I want to Contribute [Programmer/Designer/Civilization Expert]

[TheDarkJedi]

Hi guyz,,

After listening to your interview on source forge,I played your game yesterday and it's awesome. Even I would like to contribute from my side to this noble task.

I am a Software Engineer. Sometimes I also do Graphic Design. I will be digging into your design documents and code base from tomorrow and will help as much as I can.

Here is a brief description of my skill set:

1. Programming: I have been working as a full-time software engineer from last one year before that in college I have been working on a lot of freelance Applications, using JAVA and .NET technologies. I have also designed and developed a 3D racing game using OpenGL.

2. Designer: I can use my design skills to add more detail to your graphical entities like (soldiers/weapons etc.). Also I can design new campaigns or improve the existing ones.

In the source forge interview it was mentioned that you guyz are coming up with the Indian (Mauryan) civilization. I belong to the same country and grown up listening/reading the stories of Chandragupta Maurya. If there is any information/help you need regarding it, I will be glad to help.
