Big, big, big, big problem.

To graduate from my high school, seniors need to complete a culminating exhibition on the topic of their choice. So, because I already know something about it, I took the easy way out and did multiplayer design for the Source engine.

Problem is, there's a ton of damn paperwork and I can't even start the project because I don't have a mentor. (Someone who basically checks off that my goals are good goals at the beginning and at the end checks off that I met them.) It's incredibly easy for them but I haven't managed to find a single person who can so this for me, it's maddening seeings how i only have barely over a month left to finish this project.

Do any of you know someone I could talk to? They have to be at least 21 and have something to do with game design. I'm knee-deep in crap right now, and I need all the help I can get.

I know, I'm scared to death. I thought it would be easy, nothing to worry about, but with the deadline this close I'm starting to panic. Do you know anyone who fits that criteria?

Maybe you should have asked this earlier.

I am 22 and I made 2 or 3 HL maps. Just not Source. But I'm sure there's someone else out there that can help you...

I know Stu, I'm incredibly stupid for not doing this earlier.

Once again, if there's anyone you can recommend, even yourself, please let me know.

I just recently turned 21, and have had some experience with Source.
What exactly do you mean by asking for someone involved with game design? Like professionally?

Sorry, anyone I know of that's related to game design of any kind is here in TWHL. And I'm not too knowledged in the topic to volunteer myself.

You're allowed to get "just someone from the internet"?

Perhaps I can? What do I need to do? Write a letter to a your superior stating my degree of experience and education?

@Soup Miner and DiscoStu: No, it doesn't have to be professionally, but having a lot of knowlege and experience in level design is what's really important. Bascially, the idea is that I find someone who's old enough and has had a good amount of experience in the supject I am doing my project on. Does that make sense?

@Rimrook: Nope, but I do need to know, and then I fill it out on a form which you would have to sign which basically says "Yes, this is me and I am aware of this project, etc. etc."

I can e-mail you what is required and my project proposal so far if you like. My email is dylankoch92@gmail.com, go ahead and shoot me an email if you're still interested.
