FAQs

How do I make sure the game developer understands my project's vision?

Start by clearly explaining your game idea and its goals. Use visuals like sketches or storyboards if possible. Ask the developer for feedback to see if they get what you want.

What should I include in the project brief for a game developer?

Your project brief should cover the game's main concept, target audience, and key features. List any specific technologies or platforms the game should use. Make sure to include deadlines and any other important details to guide the process.

How can I set clear deliverables with a freelancer for my game project?

Break your game project into smaller tasks with deadlines. Discuss these tasks with the developer to ensure they are achievable. Write everything down to avoid misunderstandings later.

What should I look for in a game developer's portfolio?

Check if they have worked on games similar to yours. Look at the quality of graphics, gameplay, and overall polish. Read reviews or testimonials from previous clients if available.

How do I know the game developer can use the right tools for my project?

Ask them about the programming languages and tools they are familiar with. Make sure these match the requirements of your game. It's a good sign if they have experience with the platforms you want your game to be on.

What's a good way to start the game development project?

Have a kickoff meeting with the game developer. Go over the project plan, timeline, and resources they will need. Make sure both sides are excited and ready to start working.

How can I support a freelance game developer during the project?

Check in regularly to see if they need help or more information. Provide timely feedback on their progress. Encourage open communication all the way until the project is done.

What should I do if I have new ideas during game development?

Talk to the developer about any new ideas or changes as soon as possible. See if the changes fit within the current plan and timeline. Work together to adjust the project scope if needed.

How can I ensure quality in the final game product?

Set up milestones with deliverables for testing throughout the project. Provide clear feedback on each milestone. Ensure the developer has time for debugging and polishing before the project ends.
