I would like to employ a scripter for a game contract I have. The game needs to be done in a month or two. It is basically a rigged racing game where the player can never loose, many of the details haven't been set, yet. It's for a company and they don't want their product to loose. It's not cars but heavy equipment so some smashing and crashing of objects is needed. Please reply with an indication of experience level and cost estimates. (I realize this might be hard with no real indication of the complexity of the game, but best quess ball park figures are okay).
Honestly for anyone to be able to give you a ballpark figure they need to know what all will be included/necessary for the completion of the project.
1) Main Menu 2) In-Game Menu's 3) Etc. GUI 4) Level Design 5) Physics Programming 6) Shader Programming (if any) 8) Deformation Programming 9) General Programming 10) Etc. in general
Just need to know what all will be involved to even make a guess at the cost.
You bet, and you'll know more as I know more. I can tell you now that all the artwork, design and model building will be done by others, but we'll work close with you to make your job easier. I have a question right away, tho, is it possible to play a movie at the beginning of the game? or could it be a series of tga or something?
I've contributed a script for playing movies countless times, so yes it's possible. And even if you don't have Com or Pro Realspawn *back in the days* made a program for even Standard and Extra versions could play videos.
thanks, this will be great. I currently have the commercial version, but I will be upgrading this week to the Pro version, to give my client the best I can.
