FAQ:
What type of work do you offer?Everything from 1-time consultations for quick project reviews, to full blown project management leading all the way up to the eventual sale of the game.
How do you handle payments?Depends greatly on the project and how much work needs to get done, payment methods vary, from flat fee, to rev share, or a mix of both depending on how attached I become to the project and what is most reasonable based on the games circumstances.
I accept PayPal and Square Cash. Though if something different needs to be arranged it might be possible.
