Project Check & Workshop

Together, we go through your project: what it should do, how it should work, and the gameplay logic behind it. We also clarify special cases, exchange ideas, and consider how to best implement your project.

In the workshop, we plan and structure the project, whether we work with Blueprint or C++, depending on your requirements and with a focus on performance. The goal is a clear foundation, a defined scope, and realistic milestones.

 

Development & Feedback

During implementation, I keep you regularly informed, especially at important milestones. Your feedback is incorporated directly, and small adjustments are usually no problem. For larger changes, we will look together to see if the effort affects the offer.

 

Completion & Support

After completion, you will receive all final files in a private GitHub repository for clear access and version control.

I also offer a warranty period of 3 to 12 months. During this time, I take care of bugs or problems free of charge and am available if questions arise.

 

Scope & Offer

As soon as the framework is clear, you will receive a structured offer with a transparent price breakdown. The project will be divided into milestones, including all necessary steps, for example:

Planning: For each milestone, I analyze which resources, code, documentation, assets, and so on are needed to work efficiently and without interruptions.

Research: Technical or creative challenges are examined. If necessary, I use the Source SDK to develop clean, stable solutions based on my experience with Source projects.

Design: I create the overall concept and project structure. I avoid third-party tools whenever possible to ensure long-term maintainability, unless the project explicitly requires them.

Technical Design: Planning of code implementation and system development with focus on performance and stability. For example, I ensure that resource-intensive processes run within a fixed time frame of about 16.66 milliseconds per frame so the game runs smoothly without stutters or crashes.

Documentation: I document the code clearly and understandably to make later adjustments easier. This saves time and effort during maintenance, updates, or for other developers.

Testing & Bugfixing: Thorough tests ensure everything works as intended. Problems are detected early and solved cleanly with the goal of delivering a stable, well-thought-out, and polished final product.

Architecture: The code is built so that it remains clear and easy to expand or adjust later. I pay attention to clear naming and a clean structure.

Questions?

  • Pricing is based on the complexity of the work. I start with my base day rate (for an 8-hour day) and estimate the total effort required for each milestone. From this, I calculate a fixed price that reflects the scope and technical requirements.

    For example, if a milestone is estimated to take 12 hours, I internally convert the day rate to an hourly rate to calculate a fair fixed price.

    The offer you receive is always a transparent fixed price, no hourly billing. This price includes all necessary work, including session time, research, planning, and a buffer for unforeseen challenges.

  • The license lets you use the work exclusively for one specific game project. That means only you get this license, no one else will be granted the same rights, and it covers the main game plus any DLCs, expansions, or updates tied to it. You’re free to modify and monetize the work within that project.

    The license is perpetual (it doesn’t expire) and royalty-free, there are no renewals or ongoing payments required.

    If you want to use the work in other projects—like sequels, ports, remasters, or new games—you’ll need to get a separate license and pay a reuse fee. This fee is about 10% of what you originally paid for the licensed work.

  • Yes, that is definitely possible. By default, you receive a restricted license from me, but if you want an unrestricted, exclusive, and perpetual license (including sublicensing and transfer), I also offer that. The price for granting such usage rights is three times my base day rate.

  • The main reason is long-term reliability and support. I don’t own or control third-party tools, so I can’t guarantee they’ll stay compatible or supported throughout your project – especially by the time you launch your game. By minimizing their use, I help reduce technical debt and avoid future headaches. It also means I can fully stand behind everything I build.

    For more detailed information on liability and third-party dependencies, you can review my Terms & Conditions.

  • Not by default. I avoid using experimental or beta features unless you specifically agree to it. Just like with third-party tools and dependencies, these features aren’t guaranteed to be stable, supported long-term, or even available in future engine versions.

    If your project really needs something that’s experimental, I’ll discuss the risks with you first so you can make an informed decision. As always with such potentially risky elements, I elaborate further on this in my Terms & Conditions.

  • Yes, milestone payments can be split. A portion is paid upfront, and the rest is invoiced later. There’s a small surcharge to cover the extra admin and cash flow handling, usually 3%, capped at 50.00€.

  • Yes, I’m totally fine with working on a monthly schedule, like doing one milestone per month, if that works better for your cash flow or planning. It’s actually a pretty common setup with consumer clients.

  • I process payments securely through Stripe and currently support:

    • Credit & debit cards

    • PayPal (EEA countries only)

    • Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, MobilePay)

    • Klarna (available in most EEA countries)

    • Alipay

    • Link

    • iDEAL

    • Bancontact
