(PAID!) Tutor wanted to teach Game Studio basics and Texturing
(I am sorry if this does not fit into the forum guidelines of jobs offered)
Job Description
I am looking for a freelance tutor that holds a considerable amount of knowledge regarding Game Studio--and the majority of features in it--that would be willing to teach me on a part-time basis how to use the program (primarily in level design). I've been doing what I can in my spare time to teach myself about the program (reading tutorials, etc...), but after months of reading tutorials and working through templates, I am still unable to create a game level that I can be satisfied with. I would much rather have an experienced "teacher" tutor me, and teach me what I need to know in a few months, than continue to spend countless hours trying to figure out everything on my own.
What I Want to Learn
I will more than likely need to know more than what is listed here as I progress through my level, but just to give an idea of what I wish to learn in the first several lessons--
-How to create SEAMLESS textures using GIMP, THAT DO NOT REPEAT ON A WALL SURFACE.
-How to create sprites for those wall textures that add cracks, stains, and etc to the walls, so the walls are all unique from one another.
-How to add entities such as FOG, DOORS, and etc into my level, and how to use the script templates (or create custom scripts) to make the entities work properly.
-How to create curved surfaces for archways or other monuments.
-Anything else that comes to mind during the time I am being tutored regarding level design, texturing. scripting, or other basic features of Game Studio.
Schedule
(Only 2 nights a week, no more than 3 hours a night)
My job currently gives me two days off per week (which vary from week to week), and as I have planned, I would ‘schedule’ ahead of time with the tutor to see if we can both work together on the days that I have off. If not, we can wait until the following week (I am not in any hurry). I will need the tutor as long as I am working on the game. Whenever I need help learning about something new, I will need to schedule another lesson.
Tutor MUST work over the phone, and I cannot reimburse them for their phone bill (prefer to schedule after 7pm when phone plans’ ‘unlimited nights and weekends minutes’ kick in). No more than 3 hours a night, 2 nights a week. TUTOR MUST SPEAK CLEAR ENGLISH AND LIVE IN THE UNITED STATES.
Pay Rate:
$5.50 / an hour; 3 hours a night, 2 nights a week
*Tutoring to be done over the phone; will not reimburse for phone bill! Please make sure you have an ‘unlimited long distance/nights and weekends plan’ on your phone!
Payments received via PayPal ONLY. I will transfer funds at the end of each week for the total hours worked for that week. Tutor MUST work through PayPal; it is the most secure form of payment for both parties. And again, tutor MUST work over the phone, and I cannot reimburse them for their phone bill (prefer to schedule after 7pm when phone plans’ ‘unlimited nights and weekends minutes’ kick in).
I hope I can get a dedicated user willing to help me.
Thanks,
-Kravenwolf
