FAQs

How do I define my game design project to attract top freelance talent?

Start by clearly describing your project's goals and vision. Include important details like the game's genre, platform, and target audience. Mention any specific skills or experience you expect, like knowledge of certain game engines or design software.

What should my project timeline look like when working with a freelance game designer?

Divide your project into phases with clear deadlines. For example, start with concept design, then move to prototyping, and finally, testing. Set realistic dates for each phase and remember to allow time for revisions.

How can I set clear deliverables for a freelance game designer?

List specific outputs, like character designs or game levels, you expect from the designer. Describe what each deliverable should include, like file formats or styles. Make sure the designer knows what 'completion' means for each task.

What is the best way to share my existing assets and ideas with a freelance game designer?

Use collaboration tools to share your assets, like storyboards or sketches. Provide any relevant documents that explain your ideas, like design documents. Detailed feedback can help ensure the designer understands your vision.

How do I ensure that a freelance game designer understands my game style?

Share examples of games or styles that inspire your project. Discuss the mood and experience you want players to have. Clear explanations or mood boards can help the designer visualize the style you're aiming for.

How can I track my project's progress when working with a freelance game designer?

Set up regular check-ins to discuss progress and any challenges. Use a project management tool to monitor task completion and timelines. Feedback during these meetings can keep the project on track.

What should I do if I need changes to the game's design during the project?

Communicate the changes clearly and why they're needed. Discuss how these changes affect the timeline and deliverables. Keeping an open line of communication helps the designer adapt effectively.

How can I ensure the game designer maintains quality throughout the project?

Set quality standards at the start and provide examples. Review each deliverable before moving to the next phase. Offer constructive feedback so the designer knows what's expected.

How do I make sure we have the right tools and software for the project?

Confirm what's needed at the project's start, such as game engines or design software. Ensure both you and the designer have access to these tools. This helps avoid any delays caused by software compatibility issues.

What communication methods work best when hiring freelance game designers?

Agree on a communication platform like email or chat apps. Regularly scheduled updates can prevent misunderstandings. Make sure to clarify how often and when to check in with each other.
