    It depends on how much you need the money, and if they supply the art and Sounds.....

    $50, same as in a back alley during Mardi Gras. :P

    Seriously, that's a good question. It's not something I have considered doing personally, especially since i'm busy with my own things.

    it depends on project size the time your gonna take to put into it, and how much your time is a developer is worth.

    it can range from a couple hundred to a couple thousand

    A guy wants me to recreate the game "chicken drop"

    http://www.dropthechicken.com/

    And he wants me to make 60 levels

    lmao well ya it completely depends on if they provide artwork & sounds. For you to have to provide artwork yourself, around $1300-1500 to provide a quality game

    Ace can you please come on Skype? Thanks :)

    On topic-skymaple, it depends how much work you're gonna put into it, and if you like the project idea, if you don't-don't do it.

    I think the idea is cool. I was talking with him and I guess I'm just going to setup the first level. Then he can drag and drop the rest in.

    I said about $150. Is that good?
  • ChaserChaser Member Posts: 1,453
    There are people charging about 3-5k for things like apps and websites all day long. When I airbrush motorcycles and such I charge $60 an hour not including supplies.

    That's not bad-1 Level for $150. I'd design a level for $150 any day haha.

    Skymaple, if you don't mind me asking how many projects have you worked on with your game making service so far?

    2, lol. The first needed a template made, the other needed the first level of a game. The second person said they are probably going to hire me again.

    Currently I have 2 maybes, and one is working on the artwork (or so I think).
  • RedlerTechRedlerTech Member Posts: 1,583
    How much did you charge for your custom template?

    It depends on the complexity. Do you need something?
  • RedlerTechRedlerTech Member Posts: 1,583
    no I was curious, might want to start something myself.
  • ozboybrianozboybrian PRO Posts: 2,102
    Man i'm not even that good (I guess) and I would charge a fortune. There is money to made here doing something you love.... A LOT of money. Why waist your time making someone else thousands of dollars when you can do it for yourself.
