I have no skills in making a game, I have no interest in making a game, do not tell me to learn to make a game, even tho someone probably will anyhow...
I'm not rich by any means, but I have a decent job with not many bills, so I am able to buy Robux with real money.
My QUESTION is.... how much is a realistic amount to offer a group to build me a game. I WANT to pay them well, I have no intentions of shorting anyone, I'm a working man and understand everyone wants to be paid for their effort. So please give me a direct answer on a reasonable amount.. I know it all depends so this is about what I'm looking for....
- I want it to be a tycoon, I'm still deciding what kind
- I realize a massive game with pro developers would cost hundreds of thousands of robux... that's NOT what I'm looking for
- I want a medium sized detailed game that is enjoyable for classic tycoon enthusiasts like myself
- A couple gamepasses (1-2) perks (2-3) and cash to buy (4-5 different amounts)
- I'm not interested in any fighting or killing amongst players, just focusing on building their own tycoon.
- MAYBE one vehicle (per tycoon), but that depends on game.
- Small amount of scripture at beginning and a clear goal of what to accomplish
-The tycoon buildings and map should have a nice classic roblox look to it, not over the top, but with a deal of effort put into it
I do not want to make this too long and lose your interest so if you would like to ask me questions please feel free to add me and we can talk everything out. I do not want to be scammed obviously, and neither do you. I'm willing to pay like 25% of the agreeable total up front. If you seem shady, I will just delete you. Please have proof of your abilities and you can trust that I will treat you with respect and will pay you and your team well. If the game happens to go big, you will be greatly, greatly rewarded. I obviously will be giving FULL credit and do not intend to claim any of the work to be my own. Thanks for your time.

Most of the time,someone is going to want reoccurring payments (getting a number of the profits). Also, from experience, it's going to be difficult to get someone else to see your vision of the game. Your money can be put to better use if you simply learned how to code your own game. You can start by studying free model scripts.

yes I agree, I was willing to give the idea of the tycoon then grant freedom to them and be happy that they are making one at all. Unfortunately learning to code just isn't an option, I'm not good with computers at all, ive tried multiple times before but now I simply don't have the time. I'm happy with being the money guy. And yes the reoccurring payments wouldn't be a problem. I'm very open to anything from all of us profiting together

You could always try to approach a group/studio and give them you're idea and offer to help them create the game by giving them your ideas in return for them giving you 10% profit of the game.

There is no such thing as being the "money man".

Yes there is. A lot of earlier game developers are in desperate need of funds to advertise and sponsor their game.

If a developer thought his game would take off, then it'd be more efficient to spend $200 buying ROBUX just for the ads and then you can make all that money back from the revenue.

I haven't yet heard of any front-page game having "sponsors".

Getting a game to kick off isn't difficult and doesn't require much if your game is actually GOOD. This isn't real life where you need thousands of dollars just to start a company.

I think that your main issue won't be payment, but finding someone who is both capable of making the tycoon and willing to stay on it and finish it. Try joining some developer groups (like hidden devs) and asking around.

For the full game to be made with quality I would say AT LEAST 40K. Would the game use Filtering Enabled?

there are a lot of skilled builders that need to make a name and a place to start, money talks no matter what you do, real or virtual life

Kasumo I was expecting in the ballpark about 50k for a decent game, I don't think some people are understanding I'm not looking for some super advanced game, I'm being realistic with the quality id be getting. But id probably do 65k max, I think I could find a team that would be willing to do that for full credit and bonus robux on going

I understand. And a tycoon is not complex to script, so honestly it would not even require a whole team. I would suggest finding scripters and contacting them individually, as you have a better chance doing that than asking the people on this forum.

you probably don't even need a scripter - any builder can make a tycoon using a free model tycoon kit and I think 30-40K is probably a decent estimate, but these numbers are after tax that means you need to have like ###### ## you don't have group funds available

"I respect your Autism Awareness group, I joined."

Oh my goodness your are amazing. You really know how to deal with rude behaviour.
If someone is rude, be really nice to them. If they're usually a good person, they'll change. If not, they'll be super awkward. Kudos OriginalZOBLACH for responding in such a beneficial way!

You actually should offer the cash, instead of robux... You'd get more out of it.

I wasn't being rude. I was just making a joke out of his first sentence:

"do not tell me to learn to make a game, even tho someone probably will anyhow... "

If you look at the group wall for the Autism Awareness group you'll see that the entire group is a joke. The last shout is from 2013 and the group owner hasn't been active for years.

It's very entertaining to post offensive comments on the group wall and have someone get triggered by it, and then have a long argument without them realizing they're getting trolled.

I'd do things like this with Christian groups before but it eventually got boring and they kicked me out very quickly. Autism Awareness has no moderation which is why I enjoy it. <3
