  your first post+ crossposting+ wrong forum+ bad title+ no useful information about your game -----------------------= very bad first contact   ;  I posted an answer in your 'for beginners' thread. As Damsdesign suggests, you really don't want to cross post or flood the forums. Go back through all but one of the threads you started, click 'edit', and delete the post; posting in one forum, and choosing the correct one, will get you off to a better start.   ;  Please note that many many people have ideas and many people believe their ideas are the best ever. Some ideas are superb but its hard to predict which are going to be the next superb ideas. Even with a superb idea, if all you bring is the idea it will be very hard to start a team. If you are willing to pay in advance to the programmer it will be very easy to start the team, and you should mention it in your post.anyways, good luck!hopefuly you will become the next Sid Meir and I'll be able to say I once communicated with you in gamedev [smile]Iftah.   ;  Moved to Help Wanted. You will need to reformat your post to fit the template for that forum.   ;  I think in cases as such it is complitely safe to assume that we are talking about decent budget - somewhere near 1 milj usd ? considuring AAA titles take up to 4-6 ?   ;  I think you'll fing a good programmer for 200-300 USD per month (spare time programmer) or pay per module for more controll, you don't need 1 mil budget. I have a friend who does such small jobs, but you need to know what to ask from him or pay that 200-300 usd and make a fair scheduler.;  a good programmer for 200-300 a month? I pay freelance artists at least $150 a week out of pocket... $200 (a week, or $800/month) for a decent PART TIME programmer.  By that i mean, 10 hours a week.   ;Quote:Original post by PaulCesara good programmer for 200-300 a month?Rockford, USA -- say hello to Bucharest, Romania.   ;  > I have the total concept and everything just need to> be pointed in a few directions that can help this> project blossom.If you don't have a design document, I'd suggest you begin writing one. It's the starting point for any game project. There are several books that can get you a better picture of the process. My favorites:Laramee, "Game Design Perspectives", Charles River Media, 2002.Laramee, "Secrets of the Game Business", Charles River Media, 2002.You can also visit "www.gignews.com" ( Clicky ), a site dedicated to game design topics. Or visit the Game Design forum here on GameDev.As for costs a professional studio might charge around US$8K per man-month average, all charges included. Assuming that a small team of 5 can make you a demo in 6 months, we are talking of at least US$240K. If you scale this up to a team of 25 that work for 24 months for a full game - which is not uncommon for AAA titles - you are looking at multi-million dollar budgets easily. You can get it cheaper from lesser-known studios. The cheaper way is to make the demo yourself or try your luck in recruiting a volunteer team here; just follow this forum's FAQ guidelines.Hope this helps.-cb
