How much do you think it would cost to make a game like GDT?
Also, how long would it take to develop (with a team of two)?
Where do you find graphical artists or programmers to help on the project?
As mentioned in an earlier topic, I’m set on making a game and trying to find out as much information as possible.
Thanks.
professional software developers who know their own skills well and have a well written design document still get software estimates wrong the majority of the time. Trying to accurately predict the cost of a software project is a fool’s errand.
Game development isn’t cheap. We spent 1.5 years developing the game and hired multiple art/sound contractors to make GDT but that doesn’t mean that any random other team would spend the same amount of time or money.
Some people create great games in a game jam or over the weekend, other companies spend decades and multi-million dollar budgets and never ship a game. There is simply no way to give a blanket estimate.
Thanks a lot.
Although I understand that you can’t exactly predict the cost but what should I expect it to be: thousands, tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars?
