How much to charge

Post by crownce »

Hi.

Somebody wants to pay me for making them a FPS game.

The game is not that big, it will have 4 levels War Type (CoD)

How much it is a fair price to charge? (US $)

Thanks for your replies

6% royalty at least.

EDIT: oh wait nevermind, I read that wrong, I thought you were only making the levels/maps.

If you're actually working on the whole game then I don't know.

The only difference between a pro and a hobbyist is that the pro knows what his time is worth.

If you've never made a similar game before you simply should not do contract work for this. And the fact that you think the number of levels has anything to do with the program complexity is a pretty sure sign you don't know enough to work on this. Really, don't go there until you have lots of experience in 3d game programming.
