Let's start with a little about myself; I live in the United Kingdom and I'm 15 years old (turning 16 in september), but don't let my age put you off. I'm looking for anything from a simple one-command plugin to an (almost) full-time job for a server of 10 thousand players (although I'm unfortunately not lucky enough to be in that situation). I've been programming since I was around the young age of 9. I first began to learn the Java programming language at the age of 11, shortly after which I began to learn the Bukkit API and its features. Around the early ages of 12, I met somebody (who is now a good friend of mine) who was running a simple factions server. Since I had hundreds (probably thousands) of free hours to kill, me and him both began to learn the whole API trying to create a better server than any currently existing (however, we failed drastically due to our lack of marketing knowledge and immaturity). The server went on for a good 2 years, which was then closed down due to a lack of funding and profit. During that time, I also worked part-time for a separate server named "Delta Network", where I developed 2 mini-games (Vampire Sacrifice and The Feast) and some smaller utility plugins. A good half year after all of that had all been done and gone, an administrator over at WoodyCraft.net sent me a private message on BukkitDev requesting me to join their developer team, so I did. I ended up making about half a dozen utility plugins for them (the most noticeable one being their Particle Effects on the Creative and HUB servers) and an 'unfinished' minigame called Blitz. I say unfinished, because they wanted more features adding and it to be fixed up, when I simply didn't have the time (I do now for the next 6 months at least). Unfortunately, due to this, I was dismissed from the developer team and the minigame has since been replaced with a different one. I paid for my mistakes by earning absolutely nothing working there (which I think is a little wrong considering their large income, the fact that I still completed 6 other fully-functioning plugins and the mini-game did work to their initial specifications, but I'm not gonna complain about it 6 months since).
I'm experienced with pretty much every aspect and feature within Java (fluently), of which includes the Bukkit and BungeeCord API. I also know a decent amount about MySQL database storage and the query language. If I don't know anything, or a different software package is required (network, database, etc), I'd be happy to learn how it works and create what you desire, to the exact specifications. Also, I'm not expecting everybody to follow or believe what I say here, but my code style and efficiency has immensely improved since 6 months ago. Don't fully judge me off any snippets or source you may found written by me lying around the internet.
For pricing, I'm not really sure. It all depends on how much research I need to do, what the plugin consists of, what my future relationships with you and the server may be, how long it's going to take me to accomplish your needs, how much money you actually have to spend and how many players play the intended server (please be honest; I have and will be). I'll list some rough estimates below, but remember, both the pricing and time estimates may (and most likely will) vary a substantial amount. I'll give you a quote when everything's been discussed. Don't be afraid to ask for a quote, even in the unfortunate event that we can't come to an agreement, your ideas won't be distributed to anybody else without your permission. Paypal is the only money transfer I am accepting at the moment.
With Communication, I'm normally online around most of the time between 10AM-1AM (which alters depending on school, which I don't have for 2 weeks from the post date) following the UK timezone (currently GMT+1).
If theres anything you feel I've missed, feel free to contact me or leave a response to this thread below.
