You must supply all well commented source code, all design files including comments and compiling instruction. I will compile the source myself and test functionality.

I expect a draft demo within a week.

Within two weeks I should have minimum of 2 levels completed with most functionality

Within 3 weeks I must have all 3 levels with all functionality including split screen.

Within 4 weeks all bugs, problem, issues reported must be fixed.

Must supply all art and source code every week so I can compile and test myself.

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 ...

I agree with Ventilator. You can't really get this done with one person at the quality you want. If you increase the budget a little bit, my team and I could get it done in that amount of time specified. But it would take fulltime work, and for only $1000, we can't really live on that between 2-3 people for a month. If you're interested though, email me surrealeric_at_gmail_com.

Edit: Also, my team works at 10% up front, 30% half way through development cycle, and the remaining 60% upon completion. That's pretty much the standard with most developers.

Hello All, I got a number of proposals below 1000$ (also as high as 7,500$). I agree the spec is a bit high for one month but I am pretty sure some requirements will be missed by the programmer anyway so made a bit high. Sorry about the time, there is no way to delay that. As I said this is for internal promotional use only for the company and the promotion begins 21th July.

About payment, that's the way it is, simple as that. I am not going to loose money again on programmers who never deliver taking money.

Not to be so blunt but you're going to find that you're not going to get very good quality work. You're right, it sucks to lose money. But it sucks just as much for a programmer to lose hard work. That's why you have to compromise a little, and sign a legal binding document. Very few professional developers go all or nothing, only the ones who havn't gotten shafted by similiar jobs.

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 believe a game like that you propose in the e-mail with the time that you say, not for less than 10 times that you can pay and just to use for demo.

Make games is not make web pages!

"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=483262

If 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.
