Game Development freelancers for MMO Games

FAQs

How do I define a clear project scope for my game developer?

Start by deciding what you want your game to achieve. Describe the game concept, style, and the platforms where it will be available. Be clear about features, timeline, and any specific tools or software you prefer they use. This helps the developer know exactly what to make and how long it will take.

What criteria should I use to evaluate a game developer's portfolio?

Look for projects similar to yours in style or complexity. Check if the games they've made are fun and meet user expectations. Pay attention to the quality of graphics and how smoothly the games run. This shows if the developer has the skills you need.

How should I ensure the game developer understands my project's requirements?

First, explain your game idea clearly in simple words. Ask the developer to repeat it back to you in their own words. This way, you can check if they really understand. Share examples or sketches if possible to make your ideas clear.

What is a good way to agree on project deliverables with a developer?

List all the parts of the game you expect to see. This could be levels, characters, and features. Decide together on deadlines for each part. Write everything down so you both have a plan to follow.

How can I verify the developer's ability to work with the tools I want?

Ask the developer about the game engines and tools they have used before. Check if they know the specific ones you need for your game. You can also ask them to show past work done using these tools to see their expertise.

What's important to discuss before starting a game project?

Discuss how you will communicate and how often. Decide on the time zones or meeting times that are best for both of you. Talk about how you will track progress and what success looks like for your project.

How should project milestones be planned when hiring a game developer?

Break the project down into smaller stages. For each stage, decide what needs to be done and when it should be finished. Each milestone should have clear results, like a working level or a character design. This helps to keep everything organized.

What's a recommended way to handle feedback with a freelance game developer?

Be clear and specific about what you like and dislike. Use easy words and even pictures to show your ideas. Ask the developer how they prefer to get feedback and agree on a method that works. Regular feedback helps the developer create the game you want.
