Initial Discussion

We’ll discuss your project in detail, ensuring a clear understanding of your needs and vision. While a detailed requirements document is ideal, written clarity is essential to avoid misunderstandings. This step defines scope, establishes alignment, and sets the project’s foundation. Feel free to ask any project-related questions throughout.

We’ll also determine the technical approach, such as whether the project should be developed as a Lua script or a Binary Module written in C++. This decision depends on the complexity, performance needs, and specific requirements of your project.

 

Development and Updates

During development, I’ll provide updates at key milestones, review feedback, and discuss adjustments. Minor changes are included, but significant deviations from the initial agreement may incur additional costs.

 

Completion and Support

Upon project completion, I’ll upload the final deliverables to a private GitHub repository for easy access and version control. I also offer a warranty period to address any issues related to my work, free of charge. This ensures that any bugs or unforeseen interactions are resolved, and you can contact me with any questions after delivery for peace of mind and long-term stability.

 

Scope and Estimate

Once the scope of the project is defined, I’ll provide you with a detailed quote. This estimate will break down the project into specific milestones and clearly describe everything included in the work. The quote will cover all necessary steps such as:

Planning (for each milestone): After our discussion, I’ll gather and review all necessary resources—documentation, code, scripts, and other materials—to ensure smooth execution. Any required gmodstore assets will be added to the final quote.

Research: Addressing technical or design challenges, which may involve reverse engineering any of the server binaries or analyzing the Source SDK to find the best approach.

Design: The overall concept and structure of the mod.

Technical Design (Development): Planning code implementation and system development with a focus on optimization to prevent lags or crashes, ensuring smooth performance within a strict frame-time budget (e.g., 16.66ms per frame).

Documentation: Creating clear documentation for easy maintenance, updates, and expansion. Well-documented code saves time and money by preventing costly rewrites and ensuring future developers can quickly understand and improve it.

Testing and Troubleshooting: Ensuring functionality, stability, and performance through thorough testing. Identifying and fixing issues to deliver a polished, bug-free result and minimize post-deployment disruptions.

Architecture: Structuring code for scalability and maintenance, ensuring future growth without becoming unmanageable. This includes naming conventions and organization to keep the code clear and developer-friendly.

Communication: Ongoing discussions to ensure we’re aligned and making adjustments as needed.

FAQs

  • My rates are based on day rates for transparency and quality. The minimum charge per milestone reflects an 8-hour session, covering preparation, research, testing, and more. Once a price is agreed upon, it remains final, even if the work takes longer than expected.

  • While the base rates provide a foundation, code work is priced according to the complexity of the task. The base rate is calculated by breaking down the 8-hour day rate into an hourly equivalent. From there, I adjust the rate based on the complexity and scope of the work.

    However, the final price will always be presented as a fixed rate, not hourly. This ensures clarity with no surprises.

    When I provide an estimate, it includes:

    • Time spent in the session

    • Research, planning, and preparation

    • A built-in buffer for unforeseen challenges

    This approach guarantees you're getting value for your investment, allowing us to focus on delivering great results without the stress of tracking hours.

  • Listed prices cover all workflow steps, including planning, research, documentation, and communication. I charge fixed rates, not hourly, with built-in buffer time for unforeseen circumstances.

  • Yes, for flexible payment options such as split payments for each milestone, a one-time 3% surcharge will be applied to the total milestone price, capped at 50.00€. This surcharge helps cover the cash flow impact of delayed payments.

    The first half of the payment, including the surcharge, must be made upfront.

  • I process payments securely through Stripe, which supports a variety of payment methods, including:

    • Credit and debit cards

    • PayPal

    • Digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay)

    • Klarna

    • Alipay

    • Link

    • iDEAL

    • TWINT

    • Bank transfers (for invoice payments)

    Please note that payments are made upfront and in full before work begins. Once a reliable working relationship has been established, we can discuss alternative arrangements, such as invoice-based payments with a 30-day term, or other solutions, if mutually agreed upon.
