Oh, and please don't consider this as a full time job, this is meant to be the first of many possible little contracts around the same game project ongoing as long as cost do not exceed reasonnable amounts. I'm thrusting people to ask fees relative to the time they're spending programming times their estimated hourly worth in terms of knowledge and efficiency. For exemple; if you're asking 500$ and consider yourself as beginner, full of will but low on skill, and expect at least minimum wage of 10$/hr, you're estimating that it would take you 50hrs to fullfill this contract... on the other hand, if ur pro and consider your time worth 50$/hr, your estimating you're able to do that in 10hrs or so... Consider this contract as a spare time paid challenge for your skills, if your looking at what is asked and don't even know where to begin, please, don't bother yourself and keep using construct for your own satisfaction.

Allright, was wondering if anyone would reply... so to be more specific....

-This contract is not for fully functionnal game, only a little part involving a functionnal platform character, lets forget the being hit animation, lets just say stand, run, jump, fall

-Graphics are meant to be minimal, just enough to support ur programming, blank menu background, plain grey start and edit buttons, playable lvl blank, solid different color to distinguish them from background, character can be anything just to verify if the animations are working, not meant to be published, different color block, mario, megaman or any drawn crap that looks like something... or not

-----lets say the platformer template built-in construct, but with an anything look alike ''animated'' character stand, run, jump , fall, mirrored for direction

-The tricky part is the edit layout which is really what i'm paying for, for example, if u used a mario sprite (or still anything) You start the game, u have start-edit button, start go to plain lvl where the character can fool around,pointlessly, back to menu you press edit button, you go to edit layout where u can edit each frame of your mario-like-anything-character, each of your mario-frames are there in 64x64 square where u can change each square for a different color or tranparent, 4 rows -stand-run-jump-fall. You edit what u want, save, go back to menu, press start and play around pointlessly with your brand new mario-like-less character. You quit the game, start it over, press start and retreive ur custom pointless mario-like-less character.

I'm aware that someone may do a crappy job on this, I'll pay him-her for it anyway, I would submit this post again with his crappy work attached to the post as a not-to-do example or a platform to build on and perfect, but would not hire him-her again for subsequent contracts. Later contracts will time to time be to clear-organise-clarify-standardise-optimise the code. Hope it helps clarify my earlier post

Hey Man, please look at my post "Paid programming contracts" by emixam23, it may suits you

Hi, first of all, I beg your pardon for my english, French is my first language so don't be alarmed if you point out some grammar mistakes... Second, got an idea 'bout making a game... obviously has anyone who's reading this... When I'm trying to make my own game and look at tutorials and other people doings I realize how most of you are far ahead of me in terms of skill and knowledge... But due to my job and my low consumption rate, i got loose money to spend but no time so there it is...

First of many possibles contracts (function of price/quality/time/etc) how much would someone charge me for this:

-Main menu; Start and Edit

-First layout (on start); Platformer, small level with character, ground, wall, platform : animated run, jump, fall, attack, being hit

-Second layout (on edit); -16 64/64 pixels paint-like editable and saveable square canvas that would stand for the 16 animation frame of character running; and then jump, and the fall, and then fall, and then... so on

-First and second layout BACK function to Main Menu

So, long story short; basic 1lvl platformer with in-game pixel-based-editeable animated main character

So if you believe that you got the skills to do that, tell me your estimated price and we'll discuss the payment procedure.

Once done, I'll do the same over again with the next step of this game idea
