I'm open to suggestions but here are the things I need done for my Vizzed Flash Bash game and how much I'm willing to pay a flash game developer to add those things to my game.

The game can be viewed here:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/45 8165

What I'm willing to pay you to add to the game (my budget is $500 so you can pick what you want to add):
-Add CPU Opponents = $250
-Add an Adventure mode = $250
-Adjustable Options = $100
-Sudden Death and Time = $100
-Any other features you think the game should have
(having an online mode added probably isn't within my budget yet)

So you want for people to make your game have twice as much modes and stuff for a few hundred quid. You strike a hard bargin...Ok, deal

Though I probably couldn't make anything like what you mean so I have to say no.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

CPU opponents means that when you play this game, you can play against 3 other characters which have their own intelligence and that fight you.

The game was made with AS2 and the adjustable options would include setting a time limit, being able to choose how many lives each player gets, how many rounds you play, etc.

mwmike: If you're really interested in this, than let me know what things you're willing to do for the game and we can begin working on this.

I'm willing to help you with this but I'm not sure if I could program any of those things better than some of the people you are bound to find on this forum, some of the programmers are amazing. I'm looking for a challenge but I'm not sure if I have time for it, I'm pretty much booked up for this weekend but I'm trying to brush up on my programming so I should try. I'm not making any promises though.

When you say options, if you just mean stuff like the right-click menu, quality, sound, background, colours etc. I could deffinately do it for you. What exactly do you mean by adjustable options? I have a bt of free time, so if it takes < week I might be able to help.

Super-Yombario: You wanna take the job than for the offer you've chosen? And is there any others you want to choose from?

And when you say you'd make me an entire game for $500, how big of a game? Give me examples.

What I meant by adjustable options are this:

The settings they will be able to set will be:
-How many lives each person starts with
-How many series will be played
-How much time on the clock (also the user can turn the clock off if they don't want any count down); the user can seelct a number in minutes
-If sudden death is on or off
-Also they can choose how the winner is chosen; here are 3 different ways the winner can be chosen:
---Most Points: You gain a point for knocking someone out, you lose a point for getting knocked out. The person with most points wins the round and gets 1 point for the series. With this one, everyone has unlimited lives. This round HAS to have a time limit.
---Most KO's: Whoever knocks out the most people. The person with the most knockouts at the end of the round is the winner and gets a point toward the series. With this option, sudden death option cannot be selected. Also, this option has to have a time limit.
---Last man standing: Play until everyone is out of lives except 1 person. The person gets 1 point for the series and the person with the most points at the end of the series is the winner.

Whatever you want from me. Here's the thing: I'll make an engine to show how the game will operate, and if you like it, hire me to make it. If you like the final product, pay me for making said game, and I ask to be co-authored and for my logo to be in the game. That's my deal.

How about instead, help me finished Vizzed Flash Bash for $500 and I'll let you be co-author and for your logo to be placed in it.

To be honest, why pay so much for such a... "subpar" game? Meaning your current work, that is.

zrb, I'd work for 250, I've never made money from flash so it would be good to get that much. I'm going to read through AS: Main for some help. I reckon if I read up I could easily program a few of those things.

$500 and you have a deal.

But you might want to sort out the controls and the game itself before you think of adding anything more.

I'll look forwards to seeing your engine then. :P I'll expect to be able to inspect it and laugh at your stupid mistakes. You've already made one in fact. £125 0o That's nothing. You could get more than that for selling used newspapers. If you actually manage this without any tutorials and make it more or less bug-free then I'll commend you and give you a pat on the back. If not then "Don't accept things you can't handle n00b :P Especially if your already working on around 4 projects as you say you are."
