hi,

i need to build a prototype for an off-road car game. specs are provided below.the job has to be done in 1 month. pls send me a quote and also your contact details if you're interested to take up the job.


Environment
. day-night transition (should affect all objects in scene)
. incorporate skySystem (to be provided)
. weather effects: rain, snow, lightning
. customizable volume fog (position, size, density)
. volumetric clouds (using shaders)
. general - hdr rendering

Terrain system
. multi-texture shader than can support up to 6 textures (excluding masks)
. terrain that can be deformed (customize shape and size of influence)
. dust trail when vehicle moves
. mud trails on ground when vehicle moves
. upon impact with ground, aummunition leaves mark on terrain
. support for auto-creation of grass turfs

Objects
. shadows (soft shadows)
. collision detection using objects' polygonal hull
. level-of-detail selection
. car physics (3 different car models)
. each car has a missile launcher and a high-calibre machine gun

Game-specific
. radar to track friend and foe objects
. weapon system (missiles)
. missiles with smoke trail and collision detection/explosion effects
. illumination missile that can be hurled into the air to light up battlescene for a peiod
. high-calibre machine gun rounds
. 'slow motion' for selected entities/objects in game
. hud with basic statistics - fuel, ammo, health, shield and time
. function to replenish
. decal marks on objects when hit by missile or rounds

IO System
. keyboard mouse controls
. aiming sight, firing, weapon selection controlled by mouse, keyboard controls movement
. mapping to gamepad controls

Networking
. multi-player capable (up to 10 players)

This would require an 10 hours day for 7 days a week, I would expect 4k-5k euros excluding artwork and scene-production per month. For one single developer with excellent skills, of course. Additionally I doubt that it will be complete after one month. I guess at least 2.5 on that manhour basis.

And if the game should be based on the A6 engine, the programmer has to improve or rewrite the render because softshadows and HDR rendering aren´t build in (and I don´t think the actual render can handle HDR in any way) And the time is to short, I expect even more then heelx, 4-5 months. But the price could fit.

Are you sure you want to pay so much?

didn't we have this kind of a post already some time ago? hmm..

If you're willing to pay for this you can get someone (myself included, but you'll need a retainer for me to start), if not you won't get this made because this isn't "newbie" type code that can be done by a group of 14 year olds hoping to make it big.

That would take some serious coding man!

Is that an insult?

About 90% of the people here first started working on games by doing a huge game, mine was a turn based RPG to be a fan game of my favorite show. While it didn't get made, it was valuable learning experience and helped to teach me about game making. I regret none of it.
