Lord Generic Productions is planning 10 shareware game releases this year,
currently we're finishing up #3 and are knee deep in #4.  There are so
many things we'd like to do, we need some help programming these things.
We're selling these, (soon, I hope!) so programmers get a cut of whatever
comes in.

Our production schedule is tight, about a month per game, including
playtesting.  Programming schedule is 2-3 weeks to full beta (complete
game, fully playable), then bug fixes and play balancing as the
playtesters find stuff.

We have a generic game engine which handles all the graphics, scoring,
switching players, etc.  Most of the programming is writing AI and
game specific code (what the sprites and player are doing when, what
happens when something gets shot, or whatever) rather than behind the
scenes stuff.  So far, our last few games (StarThief, Invaders,
SolarQuest) were retro-fit into the engine and playable (sorta) in only a
couple of days programming.  Of course, we supply all the art, game
designs, screen layout, sounds, music, anything else required.  If you can
do systems programming and can add something we need (a midi player
or modem play would be nice) we'll adjust the compensation accordingly.
(the money will come pouring in any day now)

If someone can dedicate around 20 hrs a week (4 hrs a night or 20hrs
straight on saturdays or whatever) to such a project, e-mail me.
