All payment will be provided at the end of the project with all deliverables supplied. But if I see excellent progress within 2 weeks I will release some payment so we are on good terms.
Sure you will ... This smells funny or is it just me ... ? Apart from that, the timeframe is highly unreasonable, unless you want us to make a 2D racing game ...
Cheers

oo an idea forms. There should be a section or subsection of the forum to contract projects out. I've come to the conclusion it might be easier to hire out things to dev teams these days then spending an eternity assembling a team what with all their "professional" reqs nowadays. (Not downing anyone who's a pro). Especially for simple projects.. a nice contract with quote.. payment.. and delivery seems great.
I'm ICEman, and I approved this message.

"I said this is for internal promotional use only for the company and the promotion begins 21th July" Strange ? can you give details on company , and promotion for what ? a company that can put moeny to internal promotion doesn't mean to sell or advertise a product that will make money. So your company must have lot of meny to do that , and if it was serious they could have planned the demo from month not at last timeline Strange , and for price they could even put more money; if they get guts to make internal promotion ahhhahahahaa internal promotion let me laught generally promotion is for clients ! Well i let the thread go , that's not my concern but it was really funny

TheExpert -> I don't know exactly what you mean and why you laugh. But it will not be sold, given or rented. It will run in PC kiosk in our office where clients (duh! yes ofcourse clients, not us!) can play while waiting. Actually I have posted the project in rentacoder. Link: http://www.rentacoder.com/RentACoder/misc/BidRequests/ShowBidRequest.asp?lngBidRequestId=483262If any of you have worked in rentacoder before then you know all money is escrows before project begins. So I will have to pay the whole money before you will start the project. Ofcourse you get none of it until you finish the work. This way both gets the security they want. I don't have any problem paying if get what I want in time.

You can ignore The Expert... he has a pretty one-track "I'm right, and you're an idiot" mindest sometimes..
Vince, whom I talked to you about on MSN has done games like this before, both with me, with other developers, and as a one man show. One was for GM, which is the one that I suggested he send you a demo of. He's good at what he does.
$1000 is not a poor budget for this project in the timeline. I did a complete 5 level kids game prototype for a guy in 2 weeks for $400 about a year ago. It was actually one of my best works I've done. Was it probably worth 5 times that? Oh yeah. I put at least 40 hours into it. But, the matter is that I enjoyed doing the project, it gave me valuable portfolio items, experience, and some cash on the side. It also got me better known, as he referred 2 of my other past clients to me.
I would probably charge about $1 grand if I were doing the project. It's about 20-30 hours of work, considering I already have a large amount of the code needed, and can produce the rest quickly. That translates to about $40 bucks an hour, pretty standard for small scale prototype contract development. A month is more than enough time for a project like this from an established developer that has resources readily available.
I'm working my ass off at a studio out here in MN now... so I'm not really taking additional contracts anymore... I really have to reccomend Vincent though- he does some damn good work.
