Flash Game UI Programmer needed

Hey all!

(I do hope it's okay to create a topic soliciting talent here... Admins please advise if there's a more appropriate place for this post.)

I'm looking for new talent for my company in Western MA. Below I've described us and the work we do a bit, as well as what we're looking for. Although we'd prefer to work people who currently live in Western MA, we are willing to work with people who can only make it to the studio occasionally.

Please contact me privately for more information or to apply.

Many happy returns!

Shannon
